The poster describes experiencing periodic motivation slumps while learning cybersecurity on TryHackMe, lasting 2–3 days, during which they avoid studying despite prior enjoyment. They note that passion returns once they resume, but starting again during low periods feels difficult. The poster questions whether these slumps are normal or indicate a lack of suitability for cybersecurity and mentions having strong ADHD. They seek input from others further along in their learning journey.
