I am 22 years old. I've had a deeply troubling problem. Ever since I can remember I've always been a ambitious person but I've always had a problem with losing motivation for every day things in my life. What I mean by that is I have a problem with drive in my life. One example right now is that I have a new job that I've been working at for about 3 months. I'm a ba at a dental office. And earlier in my life I did a lot of drugs and occasionally I still pop pills. And since I started my job, maneb menu absolutely loves me. I am very ambitious ad driven with all things when I start but over time I become weary and lose this ambition. This is with all aspects in my life. Even with my daughter. I don't always have the drive to play with her and spend time with her. I feel like because of my drug use I have a chemical misbalance. When I occasionally pop pills not only feel good but I have the drive that I think all normal people have. I am interested, enjoy what I do, pay attention to my family and just enjoy life. I don't wang to do drugs to have this in my life. I want to know if anyone has ever had this problem and overcame it and how. I am open to all things. Mederation, supplements, book ect. Someone please reply to me and help me if you can. I can't keep living depending on drugs to bring the best out of me. I know that I have potential but I think early drug use messed that up. Please anything will be helpful.

A very dear friend I grew up with had this same problem. My Mom and I held her hand many times when she would try to get her life straight for herself and her daughter. However, she also fell off the wagon quite a few times. The important thing for her was that we never gave up on her. But then she found THE ONE that has been there the whole time but she just didn't know it. She found Jesus. Now, I'm not trying to push religion on you but your story is so parallel with hers that I felt compelled to share her story with you. I would also like to offer up my ear to you because I know what it's like to lose interest in something and not know what to do next. If you would like to email me I'll give you my Facebook page and I'll talk or even just listen anytime you need me to. I will be praying for you! Also, my friend also found out that she is bipolar...you might think about talking to your Doctor about the losing interest part. Please take care and keep your chin up.
It's difficult for me to be focused and I can tend to drift off into doing something else.
With my children, I simply became part of their games. I'd buy dolls to play with, little cars I loved (the doors opened and closed) and completely indulged myself in their game-play (till they got older).
Basically, I found the key was to switch it up alot.
With work, I find interesting things to learn about with regards to my field.
The other thing I found was that my blood sugar was out of wack and once I began eating better and stopped skipping meals, I also gained more focus.
