I just don't really feel enthused about anything right now.  I feel like I can't make any future plans, and that I don't have anything to look forward to.
It was helpful to have the opportunity to put negative feelings into words.
I don't have any suggestions.
it was great

I just don't feel enthused about anything lately.

I am so sorry to hear that. How do you feel right now?
assistant
Question
Just kind of "blah."
user

I understand that feeling. Have you lost interest in things that you normally would enjoy?
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
I don't know that I have exactly lost interest. I still do them, but somehow it feels like I'm just going through the motions.

I can relate to that. Have you thought about trying something new, or taking up a new hobby? That has helped me before
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Not really. I guess that I'm just kind of stuck in a rut.
user

Would you be willing to try a new hobby to make each day less monotonous?
assistant
Question
Yes, I would be, but I'm not sure that it actually needs to be a new hobby. I just need to have some sort of project that I'm working on.

Maybe a new home improvement project?

No! I've got a jigsaw puzzle that I could start, and I also have a list of "21 books that you've been meaning to read."

Those both sound like great ideas! I think starting one, or both, would really make you feel a lot better.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
If I start working through the 21 books, that should keep me going for quite a while (even if I'm not interested in all of them)!

I believe it will also help give you a sense of accomplishment. I know that it would me

I believe that we've successfully completed the task, and I need to go cook dinner. Goodbyt.
