Hi. I’ve been going through a really tough time over the last year or so and I just recently became aware of one of my main coping mechanisms. I’ll become very interested in something for about 2 weeks where it occupies a lot of my thoughts and I spend most of my free time reading about it and watching YouTube videos about it. Then I’ll feel myself lose interest in it and be in limbo for a little while before I find something new to cling on to. 

I used to be into the same things for years and actually became quite knowledgeable about the things I cared about, but I now realize that I’ve become completely apathetic and I’m not passionate about or interested in anything. I just find stuff where I don’t know much about it from before so I can take in the easy, surface level information before I inevitably realize that I don’t care about it. 

I don’t have anyone to talk to about this stuff so I guess I’m making this post to see if anyone else does the same? If you’ve read this far I hope you’ll have a good day:)
