Answer 1

I don't think you're depressed, but maybe you have another mental problem? No, I am not saying that you are a "nut-case" but something that a couple of my friends suffer from is an Attention Disorder. One of my friends could not stay focused on her class work for more than a couple of minutes and would soon just start drawing, when she got bored with that she would sit there and talk to me about really stupid things, then we would get told off and she would work for a couple of minutes, then start drawing and it would continue for over an hour. Something that I could recommend is going to your doctor to see if you have an Attention Disorder... :P Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Answer 2

If you find yourself losing interest in things that you really enjoyed, you could be depressed.  Some other symtoms of depression....

    -Feeling sad or blue

    -Crying spells

    -Loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities

    -Significant increase or decrease in appetite

    -Significant weight loss or weight gain

    -Inability to sleep or excessive sleeping

    -Agitation or irritability

    -Fatigue or loss of energy

    -Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt

    -Thoughts of death or suicide:

    -Poor school performance

    -Persistent boredom

    -Frequent complaints of physical problems such as headaches and stomachaches.

   -Teenagers may show depression by taking more risks and/or showing less concern for their own safety.

Watch youself for these symtoms. If you do suffer from depression, get the help of a doctor or therapist to help you deal with whatever is causing it.

Hi there,

Maybe you need to re-evaluate each hobby when you begin to lose interest and remind yourself what prompted you to become interested in that particular thing in the 1st place.

Answer 4

Think about something that you have always wanted to that "would make your heart sing".

Once you have the thing that is the one that you REALLY want, you will not lose interest.

Try something that you would never normally do - something outside your comfort zone,

Answer 5

Are you by any chance a Libran?

Answer 6

You sound young, maybe your just having "flings" with different experiences. Maybe you havent found your proverbial thing yet.  If not, and it persists in every aspect of life, maybe its a personality issue thats needs attention.  

Answer 7

I`m not even going to answer you because you probably got fed up with this and gone off on another interest.

Know what you mean tho, i`m the same!.
