I've found out that I am being less and less interested in my work. It's still vacations and so I have not enrolled to the second year of my BSc course yet, but man, even science is starting to tire me. I don't know what's happening.

As an example, I went to Amazon and searched for a foundational book on astrophysics. I found one suitable for my needs. I thought it was pretty nice and all as I read the reviews and read the table of contents. But as I actually read the content paragraphs of a photograph of a random page of the book, I started to feel less and less interested. I eventually thought, "Meh, it's not worth it."

Then, as I've already have Feynman's first volume of his Lectures series, I went to the Amazon page of the second volume. And then as I read it's about matter and electromagnetism, I started to feel bored again. I have had known the book is on electromagnetism ever since I first looked up the books on Amazon. I never thought it's very interesting but I thought my atomic physics knowledge would benefit anyway and I'd get a better picture of the quantum theory (I plan to get a PhD in the quantum theory) and so my interest never actually flatlined. Up until now, or at least I've noticed this today.

It's not that I am bored of his third volume, in fact the book excites me (it's on quantum mechanics.) But I am not so sure it'll be the case once I get my hands on the book. The first volume still entertains me (about to finish the tenth chapter, of 55 in total) but I have no idea how or why.

Note - Science is sometimes the only thing that can entertain me, and it's mostly the only thing that can keep me occupied and give me pleasure. If I am starting to lose interest in it, I think it's a grave sign of something.

I would have posted this on a science forum, but since the folks there are not psychologists, psychiatrists or someone who have probably had a first-hand experience with mental illness and would like to share it, I am posting it here on PsychCentral.

I just visited my psychiatrist three days ago and he increased my dose for risperidone. I can't go till the next month for personal reasons.

Any idea what I should be doing right now?

Get the book, "Drawing on the right side of the brain". The word drawing is a pun, meaning both an artistic production, and an extraction or pulling from. As the right side of the brain is considered the artistic side, get it? So give your left (science) brain a well-deserved vacation, and take your right side to summer camp!

Unfortunately it isn't available here. But I'll try to get my hands on the PDF version. Thanks!
