Fear of success?

[Psicodom]

Over the last 2-3 years I have been really working hard towards a challenging professional goal. Now I’m getting near it, but somehow I seem to have lost the drive.

 

I’m not working less hard, less animated by it, tired of my bad lifestyle (getting sick and fat, not sleeping enough) and realized that if I do get the promotion things will not get better. So I have been looking elsewhere but some people have pointed out that it could a psychological defense, eg me convincing myself that I don’t want it anymore in case I don’t get it.

 

any advice olhos I can tell if it’s really thst I changed my mind, or is just sub concilia protection?

 

tks in advance

By your wording I would be more likely to check you for depression than fear of success. Depression causes you to lose your drive; fear of success causes you to self-sabotage.
