Finding it difficult to be interested.

Scorpiomikey

Hey guys. Not sure how many of you have encountered this, but recently with everything thats been going on (grandfather passing away, heavy workload, earthquakes etc) ive been finding it really hard to be interested in modelling anymore. I get home in the evening, clean the kitchen up, have dinner, sit at my desk with a part built model and i find myself making excuses not to advance like "oh i dont have the right tools for that" or "I need to buy some paint to finish that" The frustrating thing is its a tamiya 48 scale corsair. damn near a shake n bake.

Is this common? Or should i pack my gear up and take a break for a while?

Totally utterly normal man, take a break.. who cares.. modelling and the rest of us will always be here. No use forcing yourself to do anything like this, after all its a hobby, take it at your leisure dude.

All the best with everything and I hope it all gets sorted. You know where we are :-)

Cheers guys.

Thanks TB. I might find myself doing just that.

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather. I lost mine in one week when I was nine so I did'nt get too close to him. Grief is natural and as for the heavy work load plus earthquakes, step back AND relax with some R&R . With alittle rest and some time to sort things out after your loss you may regain your interest in plastic. I've been there as to depression and lived with anti-depressents for several years. They did'nt really help as far as I'm concerned. I maxed out on them and was still too far down to enjoy life.Now I build again to forget the job and relax, but I also do some video gaming Bible reading, and gold prospecting.
