No fun

I don't remember the last time I had fun.  There was a day last year, July 4th actually, where I remember thinking that I was really enjoying myself.  I was at a baseball game with my daughter and she wasn't into the game at all.  She wanted to play on my iphone.  So I let her.  And she was making goofy videos of herself.  I kept peeking my head into her videos photobombing her and we were laughing.  That is the last time I remember having fun.

This is no way to live.  My life is so boring.  And not working just amplifies how bored I am.  How can you go almost an entire year without any fun?  How do you make a fun time?  Generally my time with my daughter feels like work.  Even when we are going somewhere that is supposed to be fun I still feel like it is work.  Just getting dressed feels like work.  So going somewhere is even more work.  I think I don't know how to let go.  I don't know how to have fun.  I am so stuck in my own head that I can't get outside of it in order to enjoy myself.  I barely ever smile.  I never laugh.  This is no way to live.

I don't know if adjusting my medications would help.  I am pretty stable.  I just feel blah.  But I am so terrified of being down in that deep, black hole again that I don't want to mess with the meds.  Because like I said, I am stable.  I don't know that adjusting the meds would help with my life.  My life is boring.  I don't have anything to excite me.  I don't know how to go about getting that.  I remember that I used to be exciting.  I used to go out and have boyfriends and have fun.  But that seems like it was so long ago that I don't know if I can ever get back to that.

Something has got to give.  I need some relief from this boredom.  I need to feel alive again.
