Hello Dear,
Thank you for sharing what youâre going through. Losing interest in life and feeling disconnected from people, academics, and traditions can be overwhelming, especially when it feels like you're isolating yourself more and more. First, know that these experiences are not uncommon and that support is available to help you navigate through this phase.
From what youâve described, it seems like you might be experiencing symptoms of anhedonia (a reduced ability to feel pleasure or interest in things) and emotional withdrawal. This could be linked to underlying emotional or psychological factors, such as stress, burnout, depression, or even a response to unmet expectations. While I canât diagnose your situation here, these feelings signal that your mental health needs attention and care.
Hereâs how you can start addressing this:
Talk to Someone You Trust:
Whether itâs a family member, a close friend, or your girlfriend, opening up about your feelings can provide relief and help others understand what youâre going through.
Reach Out to a Professional:
A psychologist or counselor can help you explore the root cause of these feelings. They can work with you to find effective strategies to regain your motivation and manage feelings of detachment.
Set Small, Achievable Goals:
Rebuilding your interest in life doesnât happen overnight. Start with small stepsâengage in activities you once enjoyed or explore something new that sparks curiosity.
Revisit Your Routine:
Lack of physical activity, irregular sleep patterns, and unbalanced nutrition can exacerbate feelings of low energy and interest. A simple focus on regular meals, light exercise, and a consistent sleep schedule can make a significant difference.
Allow Yourself Space Without Guilt:
While it's natural to feel like pushing people away, sometimes solitude can be a way to recharge. The key is to balance it with moments of meaningful connection when you feel ready.
When to Seek Immediate Help:
If you ever feel overwhelmed to the point of losing hope or experiencing thoughts of self-harm, reach out to a trusted person or a crisis helpline immediately. Your life matters, and there is always someone who can help.
This is a challenging phase, but with the right support and actions, things can improve. Youâve already taken an important step by voicing your concerns. Now, take the next step toward support and healing.
Take care, and donât hesitate to reach out if you need guidance on where to find help in your area.
Warm regards,
Abrar Raza, Psychologist
