Uninterested in life

Hi all,

Is it common for people suffering from SAD to become uninterested in their life and enjoyment?

I feel like that most of the time. Not sure if this is a common symptom.

Ah've felt this way for a few years, sadly - so yer not alone in that respect.

Though, ah don't know if it's common with SAD, but then folk who struggle with SAD also struggle with depression. Losing interesting in things you once enjoyed is more associated with that.

Sorry, my post probably isn't much help.

I think you will become uninterested in your life, if you let your life become uninteresting.

Which, I guess, is a common mistake people with SAD does.

It's likely the depression that almost always accompanies SAD. When one is depressed, one can lose interest in everything, no matter how exiting or fun it may be. P.S. not to be a pretentious ****, but that is a logical fallacy called begging the question.

I was assuming that depression was not involved in the OP's question, since I think most people knows that depression induces a lack of interest in life. I guess I should have been more specific. I don't understand what means begging the question, it's either a language barrier or just my poor brain.

You may be right because I was also just assuming that OP is depressed too. Begging the question is when the conclusion of an answer is just a rephrasing of its premise. There wasn't a good reason for me to even bring it up so I'm sorry.

Sometimes I feel like this too. I think it's because I get afraid of situations in life, then I convince myself that I'm "disinterested" because that's easier to admit to myself. Maybe your case is different though. I don't dwell on these thoughts too long anymore, worrying about shit has never made me happy.

I've been feeling the same lately. I think it's important to complete a goal you must do (passion) instead of only doing things for survival sake like working a certain amount of hrs, etc.

im not uninterested in life in general but I AM (and always have been) uninterested in the typical/mundane/run-of-the-mill bullshit that so many people seem to be wrapped up in...

THIS is interesting though.

These are my feelings exactly. I'm ok with life, but its the grind and the daily routines that get to me. I've never cared that much about money either, except using it as a tool to get where we need to be.
