Anyone ever feel like this?

Before I get into this let me give you a little background. I've been playing online for around 11 months, of which the last 6 have been more successful than I ever could have thought possible. Outside of a couple of purchases (TV & a new computer) all of the money I won I haven't touched.

Last night I had a really good session playing 3 tables, and the weird thing is I'm not excited, happy, or proud. It just seems like a day in the "office". In the last couple of weeks, I've been getting this feeling more and more often.

At this point I'm starting to contemplate not playing online anymore - mostly out of fear of growing completely apathetic and losing my love for the game.

I don't know if I need a serious break or what, but any suggestions you guys have would be appreciated.

I lost my love for the game as soon as I started playing professionally.

I still enjoy to win money..but that's about the extent of it. I'd rather spend the time playing doing something else...even if i'm just sitting here posting on a poker forum helping others.

I consider poker my job..not a hobby. When I'm not at home sitting in front of the computer....I usually don't think about poker at all. Unless I'm aruging about how to plahy a hand with my brothers :)
