i've been in a rut for a while now. i don't really talk to anyone. the only reason i'm even here right now is b/c it's slowly going away, i think. i started talking to my boyfriend again at least..
i think my problem is that i lack motivation.. but how do you fix a problem like that? i've started exercising again. that usually helps some. i just want to sit here and read and nothing else.. escapism..

Hello moogle. Was wondering what had happened to you.
I'm reading a book at the moment about a boy in India who is always daydreaming and is very quiet. He suddenly ups and leaves, and goes to live in a tree as a hermit. I'm completely absorbed in it...and contemplating life in a tree..
It kindof paints hermitage and..weirdness in a positive light,which is nice.
Exercise should pick you up a lot hopefully. I've been trying to recently (lacking in motivation too..lots. wohoo) but it's suddenly got incredibly incredibly hot here...so back to being a potato again. It did help though - finally dragged myself down to the job centre yesterday.
You should find someone to persistantly have a go at you..in a good way. It's very annoying but eventually,maybe it will have some effect.
Ok I don't really know what to suggest - If anyone has any ideas i'd be interested too.
Anyway, i'm going to try an start doing things too. No more hiding away in my room. Good luck to you..don't be disappearing again..

You're right, it's very hot and seems to be getting hotter - this makes me more lethargic. I'm also finding it difficult to motivate myself most of the time. Every day at work really drags. I need someone/something new to kick me out of torpor.
Alas, no suggestions, except new experiences - difficult for the shy.

I'd wondered where you'd been. It's good to here from you, though.
I'm pretty lacking in motivation, too. Meant to get a job this summer. I haven't. I haven't done all that much working out, either. What I have done does show, though.

Aloha Moogle! I go through long periods of having no focus and no motivation at all. My dream is to write a novel but I always fade away after a few days. To pull myself out of my ruts, I force myself to do something positve and something I feel excited about. Setting up this website for one; training and running the Belfast City Marathon was another. Try it!

yes!
*sniffle* thank you..
i'm starting to get things back again. i got some social interaction when i went with some family friends to their new beach house (it's so big!). i am back to seriously looking for a job, and i got some new art supplies to work on some comics. i've been having to interact with my ex a lot lately, and i really hate him, so iit's one of the things that's been bringing me down and i just want to disappear sometimes... stop existing.. i heard from an old friend that's in town and i don't want to see her b/c i don't like my life right now. i'm not proud of anything but if i don't see her i'll probably regret it. and songs and comics make me cry, but thinking about my ex doesn't. that's good. i know i'm rambling a lot. this'll teach you to ask me if i'm ok! erm, anyway.. in a few months i get to go to switzerland!

Well, if she's a good friend, maybe she can cheer you up. If she's a good friend, I wouldn't expect anything other than sympathy about you not liking your current life.

ok, i'm back again, and this time i'm going to make more of an effort to be around as much as i used to.
i have gotten a job now, and while it's not the best thing in the world (at a mediterranean.. i probably spelled that wrong.. deli). but it's getting me out of the house. i did get together with that old friend and i'm glad i did. i've also been seeing some friends i had here before i moved away. life isn't so bad.

Welcome back! Glad things are going well for you, well done with the job. What kind of things do you have to do in this job? I guess it's really time i got a part time job myself  Anyway good to see you around again, |

Good to hear from you again, Moogle. You worked in a Deli? I would love to work in a place like that. I love the smells.

yeah, well. my mom's a caterer and makes a lot of the same lebanese food that they have there, so our house often smells the same. you get sick of it after a while.
anyway, things were looking up, but today i found out that my kitty has cancer, so we have to put him down..

my job hunting is still pretty feeble tho...am so rubbish. best of luck with yours.
