Im not sure why

Post Reply New Topic

Im not sure why but I have no passions other than fashion. It can get pretty boring around here. I wish I was one of those people that was an avid gamer, artist, researcher etc. But I just dont want to do anything and Im not sure why. I used to like drawing. Now I only do it once in a blue moon and I guess its fun but I cant focus enough on making a good quality picture. It just comes out cartoonish. I just dont want to draw anymore. I have no ideas. Ive lost the passion. The only thing that inspires me is clothes. But clothes cant entertain you. Maybe Im depressed. Maybe I have ADD. Im already on medication for bipolar so I dont want to take anything else. I just dont know why some people get so into things while I dont want to do anything. I go to a soup kitchen for about an hour most days, and I like that, but after that hour Im pretty bored. Oh and I like exercising but after that, again, bored.

Hi Sarah,

Maybe you can hang out in the soup kitchen longer than an hour.

Do you like jogging? Maybe you can slowly jog for a long time. You really gain endurance that way.

Of course, you can read fashion magazines online for hours. Read about modeling. Do you enjoy designing clothes?

Lots of times, “cartoonish” things can actually make you money. Think “Charlie Brown.”

I like watching try on hauls on youtube. I cant sit through a movie though but wish I could. Maybe I should try drawing more cartoons.

I think a lot of my problem is the same thing that many other people that come here face. Loneliness. For some reason I think if I had company it would be easier to focus on things.

Sarah, you could hand-sew fashions for 18" dolls to give to the children in hospitals or pre-schools. The nurses or teachers would love you and it would be something to do.

You can buy an 18" doll for around $20 at Target. This is the same size doll as the American Girl dolls that sell for like $100.

Simplicity and the other pattern companies have a whole bunch of patterns for 18" dolls. If you buy one pattern, you can modify it endlessly.

Do you have any sisters or brothers?

Sewing clothing for dolls is an interesting idea but not really for me. I have a brother but we dont talk.

It could be the medication that Im on is making me passionless. Im only staying on it because my mom will disown me if I go off it. But she said I could go off it if the psychologist said it was okay. I dont think I need it anymore. If I go off it I will loose a ton of weight and have to buy all new clothes.

The key is discipline. That's a dirty word nowadays, but it's the only way you'll develop any character.

Everything is boring to begin with. I spent years studying tedious problems in undergraduate physics, but it was essential in order to get onto the more interesting stuff. A little patience with your hobbies will get you a long way.
