Can't focus anymore and am feeling super apathetic
scourge728:
I used to be able to focus on one thing for all the free time I had available, which is how I wracked up hundreds of hours in games for example, but now outside of job-related functions, I can barely spend more than an hour or two on anything at best, and I just feel apathetic, I know I SHOULD be improving myself, should learn things and get into shape, but I just can't bring myself to care/work up the motivation to do something, and even when I DO, I just stop at the first point where I struggle, and the whole thing feels like it should be infuriating, but I just can't seem to care, all I do in my free time is watch YouTube videos and TVtropes binge, does anyone know how I could fix this?
Ghills:
Depression? Other illness like hormonal imbalance? Life stress causing you to need to recharge? Previous habits were crazy and now you're coming back towards the mean, because really focusing one thing for all your leisure hours is not normal?
There's a ton of potential causes. Try to pinpoint things more clearly for yourself and which ever doctors you wind up going to for advice.

Go on holidays? Go to bed in time and regularily, if you don't do so already?
Not sure what's up, but it could be the onset of a burnout. And trust me, you want to prevent those rather than cure those. Recovering from a burnout can take well over a year, which absolutely sucks for your future career perspective.
