What is this?

FutureChangeAgent14 profile image

Hi all, I’m a full time student and case worker. Lately, I’ve been having the hardest time getting out of bed. I don’t want to go to work, I don’t want to do schoolwork, but I try anyway. My work has been last minute and I just want to sleep and not think about anything. Nothing traumatic has happened and I do like my job.

It just hit me because today I faked being sick just so I wouldn’t have to do anything. I didn’t have a real reason. This is not like me and I just don’t know what to do! I’ve lost my motivation for so much and I can’t figure out why… I’m slowly giving in..

maybe subconsciously something is bothering you and that is why you are feeling less motivated ?

This is happening to me too, like right now. I live and work alone, and it just occurred to me recently that I'm much more motivated when it's collaborating with another team member. Do you think it's worth a shot, like grouping with another classmate/colleague to work on the same school work/case?

this may be true. I have a great relationship with my classmates, but at work, I’ve been having problems with someone who is supposed to be my partner. Maybe this is part of it. Thanks Jasmine

Seasonal? It is darker in the morning.

Sounds as if you have early signs of depression.

Cheers, Midori

sorry you are feeling this way, it sucks. I feel this way a lot, I have adhd and I have learned that it’s a “task paralysis” for me. If there is no “excitement “ I won’t be into it. Thus waiting to the last minute to do everything creates that “excitement”
