You say you can't find anything you want to do, yet everything you do is gaming (sleeping and eating are not counted in the 'doing' category unless you want to become a food taster or sleep experiment guinea pig). How could you possibly find something you want to do if you're not doing anything! What if you really (gasp!) don't want to be playing games, but it's an easy time-filler so you do it? What if you really don't like playing games very much when you compare it to other things you do like to do (even if you don't know yet what they are)?

To find out what you like, I don't think there's any better way than to get out there and do things, just try them to see what they're like and if you like them!

Talk to your husband too! Who else knows you as well as he does? Who else would be able to give you insight into what they can see you being happy doing? If nothing else, it might give you somewhere to start.

If you find that you don't want to be doing anything other than sleeping, eating and lazing around, see your doctor/therapist/priest/magical cat -- whoever it is that you go to when you're not feeling right. You may be depressed, you may not be eating the right foods, exercising enough (for that matter, exercise gets the endorphins and other chemicals in your body, which can get you feeling more positive -- try it!), you may have a chemical imbalance in your body, you may be clinging to childhood memories of something -- who knows! But if you don't want to do anything, don't just sit there are feel bad with yourself about it. I've been there, I know how hard it is, but it feels a hell of a lot better to dig yourself out of the hole and get going again, believe me.

Or come post on an annoymous message board, where at least you can see suggestions and maybe have the light come on in your head at last as to where you should be going next.

Fare well!
