I either am obsessed with a particular special interest and can only think about that thing, or I'm bored of that thing, burned out, have no special interest, and am extremely depressed. I'm currently in the no special interest/depressed phase. if i get a new special interest, I'll burn myself out with it. if i don't, I'll continue feeling depressed. what do I do? how do I even get a new special interest? i seriously feel like crying right now.

      It's such a hard thing to cope with, but I completely understand. I'm either all obsessed or have zero interest, which usually extends into my day to day routine. Currently in the deep depressive phase. I've no advice other than to remember it does pass x

      I’m in the same place rn, just feel bored all the time, there are things i can/should do but i just don’t want to do anything. I usually find its hard to reignite a special interest but it is possible, once you get over that first hurdle where it feels boring and you start to remember why you used to love it it can come back. But i do understand this is hard, I’m in the same position
