I’m 53 F and the last month or so I’ve become extremely indecisive and can’t be arsed about much. I’m happy, healthy? and have a really good marriage
Generally I’m in good spirits and keep myself busy during the day, evening are a whole different story.
Come 5, I can’t seem to decide what I want for dinner or entertain the idea of going out. My husband has mentioned that I’m not eating enough (I skip lunch and eat biscuits) but dinner just doesn’t excite me. If someone cooks for me, I’ll eat it, if not, it’s a battle to decide.
I have very little interest in tv, so doom scroll (probably half the problem) and I question if I’m stuck in a rut.
Has anyone ever been like this and if so what did you do to “fix” it?

Hello me. I cannot be bothered either. I go to work and do a great job. Get home and it’s like I’m a different person. Came off Facebook because I’d doom scroll for hours on end totally wasted evenings.
used to watch Corrie and Eastenders but I’ve not bothered for 7 weeks or so.

Maybe life is preparing us for retirement -
a slower pace, not rushing to do things.
I’ve joined a gym and make myself go swimming 3 x a week. If I didn’t I really wouldn’t do anything other than work and lay on my bed.

Thank you for sharing, it’s nice to hear I’m not alone.
Maybe I will join the gym, if for no other reason than to get out and it’ll hopefully stop me from eating chocolate late at night. I just have to convince myself to do it.

Join a nice health club if you have one nearby and have the budget. They normally have lovely quiet pools, saunas and steam rooms. If you go regularly you’ll sleep like a log and also the same people usually go each night so you get to say hello, have a chat etc.

Have you had your vitamin D tested?
