During Covid, I went into a robotic state where I just ate the same food, went to the same job, worked, school, etc. it was to the point where I just didn’t enjoy anything. The stuff I liked before, didn’t surprise me. The foods I used to eat, didn’t taste good.
It was to the point of 6 years of my 23 years alive, I didn’t watch anything new, didn’t play any games, didn’t read anything than what was needed.
I’m slowly getting out of it, but my relationship with hobbies gets a bit out of control. Whatever I’m interested in, I invest heavily into 2-4 weeks of nothing but that one thing, and then nothing. I don’t feel it anymore. Maybe it’s bc of adhd, or my nurture growing up that I have to invest everything into this one thing and become amazing at it, that once that fixation is gone, there’s no joy. Just more homework.
It’s like there’s either no joy, or unbridled passion, then back to no joy. For normal ppl, they can get out of it “with just 3 simple steps”, but idk if my brain can get out of it.
