Title: Interests changing on T?
Post by: Zasea on December 24, 2013, 02:37:56 PM
I used to draw all the time, but after I started T, I stopped. I've tried to draw things, but it bores me after 5 minutes.

Has anyone stopped doing things they used to like doing?

I don't personally believe that your general interests themselves would change because of T.  I think that perhaps your attention span could - so that may be what's going on.

Didn't happen to me, but I've heard of people's concentration lowering on T. I think if you have low concentration you might not like the same things.

I have better concentration on T, but my interests have changed. It's not that I don't enjoy doing the stuff I love anymore, it's that I'm not so miserable and sad all the time, and many of the things I enjoyed were just outlets for my depression, especially drawing. Could that be the case with you as well?

I like a wider variety of metal than I used to. The growly thing used to bug me, but now I like it. I still like my other music though, so I don't think my interests have changed so much as broadened and it may be caused by something else.

At first I thought you meant metal as in the material stuff haha.

I do think this is what it is. I have lost a lot of concentration on T. I used to be able to hunker down and do things for hours at a time, but those days are in the past lol.
