Going through the motions...
Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions? I've been feeling like this a lot lately, in almost every aspect of my life...work, most things at home, social interaction, relationships with friends & family.
There have really only been a couple of things I've been focused on or really felt like caring about. Everything else has just sort of been background noise lately. I seem to go through these periods periodically...like every couple of years or so. And they're hard for me to break out of. I actually feel like just disappearing sometimes, going to live on the street or something. Not that I ever would, but I actually think in detail about what that would be like and what I'd do. Does anyone else go through this regularly? What do you do to snap out of it?

Don't you have a 1 year old daughter?
Maybe you subconsciously want to abandon her rather than deal with the added responsibilty. You sickeee! You're sick!

Re: Going through the motions...
I feel like this daily at work, mostly due to the fact that I'm in a transitional period with a transitional job before graduate school and bigger, better things.
But...it sounds like you need a vacation, man. I find a bit of distance is always good for perspective.

Re: Going through the motions...
I go through this all the time. What you're describing is depression. I usually just wait for something really bad to happen that resolves itself, and then I reasess my life, and realize things could always be worse.
Or, I go out and get really drunk, and then the next morning I am thankful no one died and I begin to appreciate things more

It's not a dark place. I'm not negative about things. Or waiting for bad things. It's more of a just lack of interest.

You don't have to be feeling sad to be depressed.
