Ask HN: How can I overcome ennui?
5 comments
Are you sick? Are you eating well and sleeping well? Go see a doctor. If not, then no need to be morbid, passion comes and goes with heartburn.
yup. vacation or a 2 week hiatus is good. go play your favorite video game or sport 1x or 2x a week. workout. stop drinking booze.
I actually have been working out regularly, but it seems like I'm building up a tolerance to the psychological benefits.
It would be nice to take a hiatus, but that's not an option for me right now.

It's not surprising this was posted on a Sunday.
Just a caution; for me that was always the intro to a depressive bout. The interest seemed to drain out of things. Stay aware and if it becomes prolonged or deepens you may be a candidate for anti-depressant therapy.
If this includes a negative re-assessment of what you have accomplished or the importance of it be especially cautious. Retrospective ennui is a red flag.
Here's hoping it's just a minor glitch or short term burnout.

It doesn't seems like a chronic syndrome. Just a particularly terrible bout.
