Motivation

I have no motivation whatsoever. No motivation to get out of bed. No motivation to eat healthily. No motivation to exercise. No motivation to see friends or family. I am struggling.

Don't really know what answers or support I want or expect. Just need to write it down.

Sometimes when I need a boost I'll watch a video like this. Good luck ✌️

You're not alone some days I just lay in my bed hoping that covering up it will blanket my emotions. My house is a wreck and there's some strange smell in my kitchen...., but sometimes motivation isn't available. Discipline is always available. I think motivation Is a unicorn beautiful thing, but not real for me at this time in my life. I always go for the 5 minute rule walk for 5 minutes or say I'll wash one dish and then you'll see you'll end up doing more then you thought you could. Have a beautiful day

I know exactly how you feel. I've been seeing a therapist for 11 years. It's so hard to get through each day. So hard to get out when I have to. Constantly cancelling plans cancelling my doctors appointments. I've been diagnosed with depression anxiety epilepsy and post traumatic stress disorder. I've lost my job my marriage my friends. If it was for my adoptive sister I wouldn't have anything to live for. My doctor has recommended me to look for a group thinking it would do me some good. I think you have to look for that one thing however small and hold onto it.

You are definitely not alone. My friend suggested that even though I can't step foward, I can try stepping sideways. Made sense to me!

U are certainly not alone.

There are days wen I cant even get out of bed at all. I struggle so much with basic things like having a shower, brushing my teeth, getting food for myself.

Its so bad at times I cant even get up to go toilet wen i need to so hold it in till i got pain in my stomach n than i would drag myself to the bathroom.

Its good to have someone around at times like that to help u get on n to motivate u.

I know its hard to be around people at a time like that n u just wish to be left alone but its very encouraging to have someone u find comfort in n trust.

That is a very common symptom of depression and I hope the best for you.

Please just remember that you will have bad days but you also have plenty of good ones. Maybe not today or tomorrow or even next week but know that it will come eventually.

I was diagnosed with reoccurring major depression so I'm right there with you I know what it's like and it's ok. During one of my episodes I went a week without showering and even then the only reason I did was because I like to sleep with my arms folded upwards and my armpits smelled so bad I was having a hard time sleeping (imagine stinky pits being the reason for insomnia instead of the usual crying).

Anyways sorry to be gross, I just want you to know that it's alright because you WILL feel better and I hope it's soon. I actually shower regularly now and I'm even getting the hang of brushing my teeth every day (again sorry;gross).

Not what you're looking for?
