loss of motivation

[KatieRichie94]

Yesterday and today I just haven't felt like leaving bed. I'm randomly depressed. I get this way at random times. I feel like I have no friends and I'm always the odd one out. is this anxiety and depression?

hi katie it does sound if you have depression and anxiety if you havent already i would say go to your doctor to see if there is anything he can suggest to help ! have not got a friend or family you can confide in as it helps if you have someone you can talk to ! i wish you well david

I felt like that today.. the one difference is that I have two girls that need and want my attention.. I take advantage when my 11 month old is sleeping. . I also take a nap..lol

I also have 2 kids my youngest is 19 months it's terrible to feel this way when you have 2 little ones that need you. During my episodes I just lie on the floor in their room while they play around me

Kids are awesome and a great distraction

Kids are awesome and a great distraction. I wish that I had one but I am too young for a kid. I'm only 20. I want to have a kid after medical school.

I think it is a good thing to take time out if you need it, I think it makes things worse if you feel guilty or question why you don't want to leave your bed. Just give yourself permission to stay in bed for as long as you need and you may find that tmrw you want to get up. Reverse psychology it might be called? lol

I also feel like I don't have anyone even though I do and I think we feel like that for 2 reasons. 1. They don't get it unless you are going through it you will not understand. 2. You feel annoying going on about it all the time.

That's how I feel anyway.

Hope you feel better soon
