what do you do when nothing motivates you anymore? Nothing makes you excited, you have no energy to even roll out of bed. Its been years like this. You dont find purpose in keeping going anymore.
Medications have been helping a bit. Talking it out to loved ones only add to my guilt knowing it takes a toll pn them too.
Interested to know how you cope and keep going, if some of you feel the same way.
Is there anything which makes to feel happy and fulfilled ?
May be this can lead to something which can motivate you .
For food is my emotional crutch and for years I have been self medicating on food .
To find and write on a piece of paper what truly makes you happy and to take steps towards find a goal which excites you with passion and happiness.
I experience this as well, and it is awful. I had tried writing what I am grateful for in a journal, and got to the point where I struggled to write anything because the automatic negative thinking tainted or discounted anything that I would ordinarily write. I currently have such a pessimistic and doom-and-gloom outlook on life, and it is taking it's toll on me.
I could use some motivation and purpose. Perhaps if we consider what once gave us joy, motivation, and purpose we can reignite it or find something. It is hard when you feel like this, finding the silver lining seems impossible or inconsequential.
Don't give up. There is something within you that still holds on to some ounce of purpose. I hope you can find something that helps your situation.
I still have my wife and son, and that is something to fight for, even if I feel like I don't want to get out of bed. I have to.
I have trouble focusing on the good things in my life as well. I somehow block all of it out when my anxiety kicks in. Forcing myself to get out of bed is an understatement. I could live my life under the convers if I didn't have to work to support myself.
Here's hoping that all of us can find a daily reason to get up and live with intention.
Thank you for the thoughtful responses and support, guys! Took me a little while to feel better again but your words really helped me pull through the hard days. Love and gratitude for you all! 💛
