Your blog and 'comment about yourself' piqued my interest; I went through a similar slump lately. I went to work, slept, (barely) ate and drank too much feeling quite apathetic and numb. But I got out of it (after some months) when someone gave me a shake.
Your 'comment about yourself' is pretty interesting: 'the dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity. Dreams are my speciality'. Maybe you could throw a few risk-of-regrets to the wind and be brave - do something crazy! It's what helped me. (Except you're a writer not a lawyer, if it backfires you can chalk it up to 'professional research')
Well, unfortunately .. I cannot add a solution to this problem because I, too, am experiencing this same issue. Are you around 30? If so, maybe it's an age thing that some ppl just .. "go through"? Other than that, it sounds much like a very deep depression. Sometimes certain meds work for ppl, but I'm not into that method so I just try the following:
~Keeping in contact with ppl I care abt and vice versa. This is number one on my list for a reason! It helps me the *most*.
~Making time for YOU. Have some time each day (maybe an hour or two) where u get to do something u love that makes u feel good.
~Unwind. Instead of thinking of all the negatives (hey, thats what we all just naturally do) try to think of reasons why you are more fortunate than others.
~This might sound weird, but taking a lot of vitamin supplements, working out, and generally staying healthy and "on point" helps a lot. Doing puzzles keeps your mind sharp, as does reading or practicing a hobby.
I could go on and on. Sometimes being alone is the worst thing u can do for yourself, when u dont occupy enough of your time .. all u really do is think too much abt how terrible things are. baby steps. It takes time but I think u want it badly enough.
Yeah ... I know. The advice was rather generic. These are just things I *try* to help manage my situation. Really and truly, I think u (and I!) probably just need a motivator. There's really nothing like having someone awesome light a fire under your ass. Don't be a stranger to your friends right now, try to be social.
