Loosing interest ....

Posted on 11/11/08, 04:20 am

Do any of you get something in you that drives you to do something, whether it be reading a book, a new hobby, whatever and you go at it full pace and enthused and then all of a sudden you can't stand it any more? I do this but not only can I not stand my new interest but I can't stand anything I do, my life, my job, it's like a big hate fest. It's driving me insane.

  yeah for many years as a young man I never finished what I started... I bounced from job to job....relationship to zilts... I wondered around an angry young man... didn't like myself... couldn't figure out what i wanted...
  
  but I wanted...
  to be different from the way I was...
  So I started watchin other people...
  Soon I saw we all have a lot of baggage to carry...
  So I started to try and better my self...
  Treat people better... treat myself better...
  longerest I ever worked for one company was 2 and 1/2 years...
  but I did work for myself for 26 years ... carpentor..drywaller... taping and floating... mechanic, towtruck driver...ditch digger...
  
  Well moral of this story... I started finishing what I started... it was hard.. at first... but now I'm glad I did...
  I feel good about myself... my life and my children... I'm at peace even tho I have bad times... PTSD never goes away... the what if is always there... all the bad decisions I made.. haunt me forever... I relive the beatins and cussing... of my childhood..
  
  I endure... to survive... constant chronic pain 24/7. heart failure... overweight... hearing loss...arthritis.. just a host of illnesses that beat me down on a daily basic...
  
  Least I feel and am comfortable with myself as a person... russ

  I belong to a PTSD group and we meet every week and have many discussions about thing that are bothering us or just tell each how our week has been, I find this to be conforting in that I am with a group of people who share the same symptoms that I have and they have. This has helped me tremendously in coping with the stressers in my life and it also gives me someone to call in case I get to a breaking point. These groups are availble thru your local VA for Veterans and thru private doctor's for civilains. It is at least worth a shot at trying.

  I get bored easily so I start a painting lets say half way through that, I decided I don't want to do that anymore. Then I start a book knowing darn well I will never finish it. I just seem to go from one thing to the next and when I look back, seems I have done this alot in my life tim. I still get bored easily and just can't seem to keep my mind on one thing till its done.

  Yes Yes Yes...I used to be full of life and loved to be around people...hated staying home and was obcessed about playing pool... Lately I have a hard time leaving my house, don't even want to go get the mail and really can't stand the fact that I have to leave the house to play on my Tuesday night pool league. I'm a completely different person...I have lost who I used to be and it's the most frustrating feeling I've ever known! I stopped answering the phone and only text people that I know understand me. I'd almost rather run away and go to a different place where no one could find me, then I wouldn't have friends or family to call and come over because I wouldn't know anyone...... I'd like this feeling to go away!
