I used to do shit

But now I don't any longer. The logic is that I've reached a point where there isn't enough to time left in life to bring any of to complete fruitation or I would be mocked via ageism.

Music used to be be my main thing: composing, playing, singing, recording, editing, mastering. The entire gamut. Next up was visual arts and photography. There are others, but no need to list it all to make a point.

My entire 20s through late 40s I was into it all, every day. The younger years I wouldn't sleep sometimes. Couldn't wait to get home to work on something. Weekends would be no-sleep marathons. If I had a family or social engagement that got in the way, I would be distant, annoyed or probably skip it completely.

The past two years though, I don't do anything. Interest in everything has dried completely. Music almost makes me nauseous. I can't get into anything other than my job (because I must survive), sleep, exercise, food and very basic household chores.

Maybe this is a sign that the end is near?

I wonder why...

its not depression it is defeat

Testosterone levels bottomed out based at your age. Get a panel done and start taking shots in the a**. You'll perk right up

reading your post doesn't make me happy, but its a bit reassuring knowing the same thing is happening to others who are older than me.. lets me know that whatever it is, is an enemy needing to be dealt with. 28 yrs here and loved playing heavy metal music and going to the river etc...

ive lost all drive completely literally in the last 3 years.

Bro, its an outside force affecting ALL of us. 5G? cosmic radiation? the trails? manmade lab stuff? I'm not joking at all, what is affecting you is affecting me too... I just want to go back to bed the moment I wake up.

Never had healthier habits than I do now and all I want to do is drop to the floor. I see it in my peers too but very very very few of them want to even discuss it or correlate it to something universal.

this is saddening to the max because I used to do shit too and I already feel old and dying

You're probably running low on serotonin.

There are a lot of things you can do to boost that... make sure you aren't drinking too much or anything like that because that will take all of the inspiration from you on the come down.

Get outside and get some sun, go for as many walks as you can.

No, its a sign of depression.
Forcing yourself to do different and new things may help.
If you really can't force yourself getting a prescription may be needed, but I would avoid it if possible.

If nothing else you might find other people you like hanging with, and perhaps you get a new skill or find a new interest that pulls you forward. Its normal fr you to exhaust old interests.. sometime temporarily, sometimes for the rest of your life. Maybe try to reconnect with the family and friends you neglected for your passions.

Personally I would recommend setting a goal to become more self-sufficient.. move rural- change jobs if you have to . I can't tell you how challenging and rewarding is has been for me - and every day I am learning something new. Putting yourself into a new environment you aren't well adapted to will force you to take an interest - in the same way your current job and need to eat will force it-- but unlike your job, you will be forced to tackle more unknown and unforeseen problems..because you have to.

I have learned to hunt, shoot, garden, weld, deal with livestock, cut and bail hay, run loaders and excavation equipment, learned how to best irrigate by ditch , got good at small engine repair, installed buildings of various kinds including a geodesic greenhouse and DYI walking fridge and freezer units, , installed my own solar.. and for fun built speakers, learned to jitterbug with my wife, raised children ( always an adventure) built steampunk Pipe Art and a MAME based arcade machine.. the worlds a big place - something will float your boat.. but you gotta keep trying new bodies of water.

Hormone levels change (drop) rapidly as you age. By 50, your testosterone alone is probably down 50% or more of when you were 20.

I stay feeling younger and healthier by posting on GLP, humiliating Democrats/homosexuals, getting plenty of sunshine, and shooting weird shit filled with tanerite.

I might agree. It's a time loss. Time changes things.

I'm kind of a metal guy, but I can't seriously promote myself that way at this age.

I also see that sex appeal has a lot to do with creative opportunities, or opportunities of any kind. Once old, I feel like I have to brut force myself into things, whereas a younger me was welcomed even with less to offer.

But now I don't any longer. The logic is that I've reached a point where there isn't enough to time left in life to bring any of to complete fruitation or I would be mocked via ageism.

How many here have sleeping problems, I know my sleep is wack, I mean like I can go to be at midnight and still note get a wink to like 6 or later in the morning.

Rodney Dangerfield had a line in a movie, his wife says to him, "why don't you go upstairs and go to sleep", he responds with "I don't fall asleep I pass out" that is how I feel about sleep.

For me I am sure getting a good restful night of sleep would perk me up, have a brighter outlook on life, try praying for me, maybe I am not doing it right. lol
