Hey there everyone,
I'm new here and I have been going through it! I have no motivation for most things now and just feel lonely. I don't want to do much of anything. I still go to work and work out but I feel as though I need a week to recuperate. I'm still pretty new in my job (started in August) and have already take multiple days off from being sick to having a family emergency. I just, want to do nothing.
Does anyone else get like this and how do you break the cycle?
Iam currently struggling so much too have no motivation don’t want to go to work either and wish I can help you but I feel the same way last night I had an anxiety attack you are not slone
I have to say that I'm sorry you're also going through the same thing. I am oddly glad though that I'm not alone in feeling this way.
Thank you very much. It does help knowing there are others.
Hi I'm right there with you. If I was in a better mood myself maybe I would have some helpful tips, but I'm very low myself. And I haven't worked in years myself. Life is becoming too rough for everyone these days, I think.
Hi Ziggy, it sounds like you have lots going on with work and working out. Don't feel any pressure to do things. Listen to your body. If you need to recuperate, that is fine and it is nothing to feel guilty about. Sometimes just getting out of bed in the morning can feel like a massive challenge for me! Hope this helps. You are not alone.
I can't find my motivation either right now. Sometimes I am just content to basically hide in my house under a blanket reading on the computer. Sometimes I am so unhappy caught up in the fact that I have nowhere to go and no one to do it with. I go to an exercise class and walk a dog. And getting out of bed is a massive challenge.
While your work may be challenging at times, I hope you can see it as a blessing to being out of your house and around people.
I'm following this thread. Looking for answers as well.
I hope some of the answers were able to help you out as well.
Thank you for reaching out and sharing. I know that feeling of not having motivation and feeling like I don't want to do anything. Are you feeling sad too? Have you considered seeing a counselor? Sounds like you have had a lot going on with being sick and family emergencies. Our bodies and minds need time to recuperate. Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves and just need to give ourselves a break and not feel bad if we don't feel motivated all the time. It becomes a problem when it goes on for weeks at a time and you can't function - which is often depression. The best thing you can do is make an appointment to see your doctor to make sure nothing physical is going wrong, then consider talking with a counselor. Here is an article to help with lacking motivation. (deanbokhari.com/lack-of-mot... I will be praying for you. Hugs and God Bless
Thank you so much for the resource and kind words!!
How are you doing? I have been praying for you. Hugs
I've been doing better now. I have just been pushing through and doing things even if I don't want to. The feeling of following through with something really helped.
Glad you are feeling better. Reach out anytime to chat. Hugs
Appreciate your thoughts following through I’m trying
Hello.. it's normal to feel like that. I have been thru it several times.. feeling like doing nothing is a phase of life. Maybe our system is trying to communicate with us that we need a break from the hectic world. We need a personal day only dedicated to us only. We should reward ourself at that particular time.We ain't no machine! Even machines have servicing done. We also need to refresh ourself mentally, physically and soulfully. What to do now ??
Easy!!!!!
😀Have you ever rewarded your self? Do it. Do it again and again till you feel good.
Buy yourself good stuffs. Eat good food. Enjoy a good movie. Buy good books and enjoy them. Have a good sleep.Go for a swim. Play with your pet.visit your families.travel to your desired country. Hang out with your friends.fulfill your wish list. So many things to do.. not feeling motivated? Ok! It happens!
Try to be alone at home.. take a pen and a paper. Write all what you wanna do in life. Make your wish list. Plan your daily activities. Stick to a new exciting roster.clean your room. Declutter your house.follow some religious principles.make a list to help people.find ways to find your little happiness so that next time when you are down you will execute the mentioned activities to boost you up. Know your self. Understand your self.
If that also doesn't help, then put yourself in a dying person 's shoes.The latter helplessly struggling with life to fulfill his endless wishes to seek for happiness and peace of mind. yet time has been the limiting factor. And you have no such issues yet finding no ways to come out if it.. we can't let ourself so down so easily. Boost up yourself. Be your own solution. Talk to yourself. Make your self happy.and be thankful to whatever life has blessed you with. Be your own role model.. follow your principles of life. If you don't have life ethics. Create them. It's your life.you choose what you want to be and how you want to be. You will be ruling over your life. You decide what you need to do and when to do it and at what time to execute it. It's all in your hands. And NOW is the genuine time to do it .. Do it now because the other days you will resume back to normal lifestyle.
We are all victims of that situation. We just NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET OUT FROM IT EVERY TIME WE EXPERIENCE IT.
Getting out from it makes us more strong and hence preparing us for better situations.
We just need to be positive and believe in the magic that every thing will be normal soon. If we have that sincere little amount of gratitude,the sparks of magic will do its work. Be like a child who believes in magic. And believe me ,it will happen. Be thankful that we have been tired and now giving ourself a day/week to feel better. That's how we need to tune our mind. Do not let negativity control our mind. Just be positive.. but we cannot keep on being on the 'pause' mode from routine life for longer and longer time. We need to arise stronger and resume life again.. and again we will fall into it.. because it's a life cycle we cannot avoid . WHAT MATTERS IS WE NEED TO GET OUT FROM THAT PHASE AS SOON AS WE FEEL REFRESHED. Goodluck to all of those experiencing that.. rise up stronger and with positivity.. thank yourself later.
WOW amazing! I truly appreciate all of the tips and advice!
Wish I could help but I feel the same way. I can think of plenty of things to do, but do not have motivation or interest to do any of them. Instead I just crash on the couch and do nothing (not working right now). I don't have an answer for you, but I can tell you that you are not alone.
We will get through this!!
Yes! 🙋🏻♀️ the past 2 days I have been feeling this BIG TIME! What I do is try my best not to just sit in my emotions. Even if I don’t do anything super productive that day I still make sure I clean, do the dishes, fix up my room (anything that is semi-easy to do, that will also give you immediate positive results)
That's a great thing to keep in mind. Doing little tasks is still being productive. Thank you!
Wow ! I feeel the same, but I just manage to get to work. I nap when I get home, make supper and then lie on the couch all night. My husband takes care of the dishes and cleanup, but he’s getting sick of it. I never want to do anything.
I think that last year really wiped us all out plus the start of this new year hasn't been the greatest depending on where you are. I hope you're able to gain the motivation.
I can't do anything right
I DON'T WANT TO GET OUT OF BED
Tired of college, but I don't want to quit.
I don't know what to do.
I want to heal I swear I do
