Am I sick ??

You're suffering from what we all suffer from occasionally... myLot burnout. I believe this has happened to all of us or, at least, the majority of us, since joining myLot. I had this same feeling happen just last week. I've been active, just not nearly AS active as usual. Maybe it's Spring Fever. I've found myself deleting more email notifications than I've been answering lately and this is not usual for me. For the most part, I do believe it's the weather. A large majority of the people here live in the northern hemisphere and we're now out of the frozen tundra and into glorious Spring and wonderful weather. I, for one, am much happier when I'm outside doing things than spending the day at the computer. Today, and for much of the following week, we are supposed to have occasional thunderstorms which means I'll have chunks of time when I'm here in myLot and chunks of time when I'm enjoying the outdoors... depending on what the weather is at the time. We just had a small storm blow through and, although everything is wet outside now, I still want to get there and see what I can get into. So, relax. What you're experiencing is quite normal here in myLot. Maybe take a short vacation from it or just post every now and then. Your interest will pique again, I have no doubt. Hang in there!

We all get bored. Get out and have some fun, then come back and tell us about it. Everyone needs a break now and then!

Have you been too busy here and overdone it my friend? I have seen you are still doing so well and starting dicussions as always and never slowing down. I have a job to keep up with you and several others (and this last week and next I am working too). Take a break and do something else and you will come back refreshed. It is also summertime for many of our friends here so maybe they are less active for that reason too. Tasks have certainly taken up some users' time too. Don't overdo it and if it is not a fun thing then take a break and come back when you miss us

Sounds like you might be alittle depressed. Are you eating right and staying hydreated. You might want to think about taking a vitamin. If you are not used to the heat and have been out in it awhile that can do this to you as well. Are you sleeping normal? Sometimes just getting out of your routine can throw you into a dither for afew days. Watch what you are eating and drinking and be sure to get some good rest and I bet you will be back to normal in afew days. Dr. Rachel out.

You are not alone. I was one of them. The reason could be IPL. I was so very busy in watching IPL that I couldn't give time to it. Other people might also be busy with some reasons as summer is there and people don't like wo work more in summer time. Let's hope since IPL is gone, people would come back to their normal living ways!

Hello my friend Rajib ji, It seems you require a break. It is summer vaccion for school days. Please make use un ahead of of time and go at laest to Darjeeling, run ahaed of toy train by Batasha loop, have a cup of tea near Sewak Road'. Try and wash your face/feet in Tresta River You will be fresh.May God bless You and have a great time.

i think you are just getting bored... that's all... you just need a break and stay away from mylot for some times... just get away from this site for some times and come back again when you are ready and feel refreshed... sometimes i also feel like you and i had been slow here as well for the past few months... just take it easy and slowly... take care and have a nice day...

I think it could be one of a few reasons. Most of us get this way from time to time, for whatever reason, and we need time out, but we come back and it's all systems go again. The main reasons seem to be that people burn themselves out, trying to make payout and need time to catch up with other stuff and to recouperate from their exhaustion; it's summer, and people take time out for trips, to the seaside, on holiday; some like to spend time outside, relaxing with a book or gardening; but I don't think it's the tasks. At first, that might have been the case, but now people are getting used to them and the system is changing, there haven't been so many about. Besides that, they don't take long to complete. This week, there has been some shocking news on the site, and everybody's been a bit stunned at the loss of a young member. Thus, they've had to take "quiet" time off the Lot. So, you see, there are lots of reasons, and I don't think the site will ever be manic with discussions. Brightest Blessings.

I think the mind is a great trickster at times. I notice that all new experiences seem to devolve to indifference or as they would say in Zen, "no-thing-ness". After the experience seems to "bottom out" in this way, I have found that my mood climbs back up out of the "so-whatness" and interest becomes revived. I answer discussions on here that I feel as a therapist I can be supportive of others. Yes, there are hoards of mundane discussions, but I can just pass over them. Over-all I enjoy myLot now. Like you, I had an absence of several weeks, but then started opening my notification e-mails again and getting into the habit of responding once again. This time around my interest has stayed active.

Hi rajib! I can relate to how you feel. I am lacking enthusiasm lately. I put it down to the fact that I may be needing a small break. I think it is quite normal to need a holiday every now and again! I am like that with a lot of things and people! I adore my little daughter, she's my beautiful angel and yet when she takes the opportunity for a sleep over at a friend's I rejoice and relish the break! I don't love her any less; I just need space and a change every now and again. MyLot is the same, take a step back, go outside, enjoy and you will come back feeling better I'm sure!

I'm sorry you feel this way... I too got pretty tired of the site. I took a break for awhile, and am back again. I don't think I'll get into it as much as I once did, but sometimes a break helps you put things in prospective. You'll probably find you still like the site, but you just over did it for the first few months.

Hello krajibg!!! I think long after, I am coming to your discussion. Sometimes, I feel the same like you because sometimes it becomes difficult to find really interesting discussions. But sometimes, I am again so much eager to post and see the comments for my posts. It depends upon the mood also. Right now, you may not be in mood to use mylot. But I hope your previous mood will surely come up again. Its natural that sometimes we get bored with what are doing always. And again, its natural that again the interest again. I know you will be active again with much interest. Good luck!!!!

Well excess of everything is bad Rajib,i think you have overdone mylot or you might be preoccupied by something more important .There are times when i do not like to log on to mylot because it is the time when i am perplexed,confused and annoyed by some issues of my life. Try to find some alternate methods to express your thoughts like talking to your family members and friends and you will feel that face to face communication is far more effective.As far as mylot is concerned ,it is a great social forum where you can air your views and expressions but it can never take the place of your nears and dears listening to you patiently and giving their emotional and physical support.

Perhaps you need to find myLot friends who share your interests and concentrate on quality discussions with them. Some people have had more time at other periods to devote to myLot than they do now. At any rate it takes a lot of time and energy to keep up with many discussions.

I think you are suffering from mylot fatigue..it has happened to me a lot of times before...sometimes the entire day goes by and I dont feel like doing anything here...take a break of some hours or maybe an entire day..you will come back refreshed and with good ideas to start discussions.

Hullo Rajib! I would put it down to summer and you need not worry.That is one of the reasons why many of us are not too active here.As far as I am concerned my internet connection is also giving me equal trouble as the scorching heat.So, don't worry and you go ahead whenever you feel like.We will all catch up soon.You can catch up when you find it convenient.

i am the same way but i think its the same with any site.. after awhile you need a break because some times it does seem like all you see is the same ol same ol and it does get irritating.. i havent been active much in the past few months but i try to do a little here and there in hopes i will get back into the groove when things start picking up

Same feeling here rajib, for around 3 days now, I just logged in but I don't know why I can just make one or two and sometimes even zero response. I just go over the topics but I don't feel like commenting, I know however, this is just for a while. I love writing at mylot but there are times that I don't feel like moving. Mylot is already in our hearts so maybe we really need sometimes a little break and after sometime we'll be back more energetic and inspired.

Hi rajib...I have to answer your discussion..you make me feel guilty I am one who used to talk a lot and am not on as often. Point the finger at me! I feel the same way lately though. I think a lot has to do with the nicer weather here in parts of the world. We suffer long cold winters and when the sun finally is out and the temperatures warm up, we are outdoors much more. I will try to start more discussions. I did do a few and one has been controversial.. I like to jump into the fire with both feet! I can be very stubborn if I think I am right about something. You are also right about the tasks taking up peoples time. There were a few times when I accepted about 8 tasks at once. They were all paragraph writing ones so took quite a while. I would be looking at the clock thinking I needed to hurry to get on mylot. I would run out of time. I am slowing down on them too so I can spend more time here on mylot. Im sure everyone will be back. DOnt run away on us my friend!

hello. seems like you're taking things seriously. don't spend too much thought of your inactivity here or you're unwillingness to participate. visit other sites and set a reasonable no. of responses or discussions you post here daily. that may spice things up a bit .
