Anyone having trouble getting motivated today?

[imasleep123]

I am, I thought maybe I’d come on here and see if there was anyone else having trouble. I have to do some laundry but I have no motivation to get out of bed. I just got a new video game and I don’t even feel like playing it, it’s one of my favorite series too. I’m just trying to find an ounce of motivation to get something done and be productive today but no luck so far. If anyone has any suggestions... that would also be helpful. I had a really bad day yesterday that I’m still getting over and I found out some news this morning that was triggering for me. This week has been one of my toughest so far In regards to my mental health this year.

🙋‍♀️. Unless it’s going to work I can’t do it. Don’t want to. Can’t make me.

Hi, yeah I think most of us do. I'm not even motivated to sleep more like I fear to sleep coz I might not wake up and fear to wake up coz there's nothing great to wake up to :-). Any ways it's mainly coz you not motivated by anything at all and if you look around you'll notice that that what you see be it a mess or boring or energy draining that's how you feeling silently. Example I never feel like cleaning and everything of mine is a mess that's how my life is although I know my mess. Hope I'm making sense.

I like that you know your mess. 😁

It does make sense.

I look forward to sleep, but I HATE waking up. Everything comes crashing back in my head. Good point about messes being draining.

Just saw word "MOTIVATION"

or LACK OF!!!That is ME I have bad ADHD and ZERO MOTIVATION for EVERYTHING!!!I keep looking this up, have went out and purchased several suggestions such as herbs and vitamins looking for a CURE I guess?in a bottle.So far NO LUCK BUT NAUSEA lol which gives me a valid reason (in my head)to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!which just leads to my worrying and greater stress because important things are NOT getting done!

My list I started- thinking this might help to at least get a few things accomplished in a day and cross off.NOT HELPING much still UNMOTIVATEDmost of the time.

I look at others around me and assume they are "NORMAL"??ie;Wake up feeling good or maybe after coffee and shower(which lately not showering everyday because NO MOTIVATION OR ENERGY yuk)and give no thought to but just get moving along happily?doing one thing after another and another the entire day.I am sooo jealous want to know their secret??

Why am I like this sooo frustrating and adding to my daily stress!!

Glad to see others somewhat like me????

Even to the point of asking others and only response I have been given is medication lol even unlawful ones such as meth!!!#Have even considered if knew where to get for just ONE DAY and maybe I could move FAST and get SOOO much done on list even for 1 day?I don't need to hear crazy idea and 1 day= addiction! I know everything about addiction but at this point DESPERATE.Am on Adderal and have been for numerous years so don't believe psychiatric drugs like this or antidepressants are answer(have tried just about ALL over the years)work like placebo or candy to my body.

Any ideas anyone has that might really work especially now that HOLIDAY TIMEsnd sook much to do overwhelmed with stress to point I am a real downer! I feel like to anyone around me and especially Husband and Daughter so try to stay to self as much as possible and learning to keep my mouth shut!!!!HELP

This reply looks like how my thoughts are! Like exactly the same especially the last paragraph!!!

I don’t have any remedies I’m sorry, but I am having another go at psych meds. I just got prescribed a bunch of new ones so far they seem to be helping but I don’t want to get my hopes up, I’m also worried about placebo effect I was just recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder and my psychiatrist and therapist say it appears I’m in a mixed episode, of hypomania and dysthymia. My doctors have said and I have read in my research on bipolar disorder that I will likely continue to struggle with my moods for the rest of my life, although medication will help

Lessen the severity. I’m sorry I do not have any good advice for you, but I am here to support and I do resonate with many things in your post! I wish you the best and I hope you find something that works for you! Also sorry it took so long to reply! And also sorry for saying sorry so much lol 😂
