rebeccajones Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 I'm supposed to be working on a creative project that is overdue. I must be depressed I don't know but I can not concentrate. I just want to sleep but it needs to be done. I have no desire or creative energy. I don't know how to get through this.

WTRanger Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 You just have to work at it in baby steps. Sometimes it helps to say aloud, "I'm going to sit down and work on this project." Sort of like you are narrating your life, it helps focus your mind onto what is in front of you. It is near impossible to force creativity. Creativity comes from when you are in the "zone" so to speak. I understand what you are going through though. I've got way too much on my mind with my situation and I'm finding myself concentrating on trying to figure out reasons for that rather than working on my masters degree thesis. But this is something that I continually remind myself, even have a little note near my computer. The more I think about her, the worse I feel. The worse I feel, I lose motivation to work. No work done means I get behind and feel even worse than before. I cannot control her, I cannot figure out why she chose to do what she did. All my effort towards her are wasted in a vain effort. I, however, can control my school work. My direct effort into that leads to visible success. Hitting deadlines, even completing even one page to as little as one sentence, makes me feel far better than time wasted thinking about her.
Author rebeccajones Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 I'm being obsessive stalking what little info I have on him, e.g, his facebook page, which really shows me nothing. I thought I would be getting better and better as time went, I seem to be worse maybe I need to get really hurt, like see him in love with someone else to know we have no chance. Maybe I NEED to see his page to see how much fun he is having without me. So I don't think he is missing me. Baby steps yes. I am trying again to work today. "My direct effort into that leads to visible success" yes.
GrayClouds Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Tell more about the project, what image/ feeling, are you try to project, what is making the project difficult?
