"About a week ago my mind simply stopped. I was working on something but it didn't matter. I woke up in this sort of a limbo state and I'm still in it. I feel like doing nothing, it seems that nothing really matters."
That's... very concerning. I know you may feel like nothing matters right now, but the things you do (and do not do) during this time will affect you dramatically in the future when things start mattering to you again. For the sake of your future self, I hope you're still sticking to your usual routines.
- Klathmon 10y agoI get similar from time to time. It's not as alarming as it sounds, but for some reason I just suddenly will lose all motivation, lose all will to improve, a kind of feeling that you just want to "exist" rather than do anything important (which is such a polar opposite from how i normally treat life). I think it's some manifestation of burn out for me, but if I take the cue and take it easy for a few weeks, the creativity and will to improve always comes back.
- zer0gravity 10y agoThanks for the advise, but don't worry, I didn't completely lost it. I just see it as a rebalancing period after maybe pushing myself too much. However, it's not really burnout and it's not really depression, it's just another part of me that simply wants to enjoy more the things that are around and stop worrying so much about the future.. Life goes on in cycles and this is just a pondering period after a more active one..
- Anthony-G 10y agoThat's a really interesting phenomenon. It sounds like your subconscious mind decides that, after a lot of activity, now is the time for meditating and your conscious mind just has to go along with it. Best wishes to you.
