Unmotivated

[Naturelover123]

I’ve been struggling w anxiety and ocd thinking the past 11 months and all at once . I’m in a long term relationship and I love him but I have childhood issues with relationships so my anxiety is so focused on my bf who’s so good to me. I feel like anxiety just wants me to question all the uncertain and then I get in a panic attack thinking things like for example that .. I don’t love him bc he wore a weird outfit one day and I didn’t like it . Do I love him ? Do I think he’s attractive ? Is my obsessions and I feel crazy And then some days I have a panic attack bc im feeling like he’s perfect and I’m not good enough. I just need someone to help me not feel like I’m insane . This makes me extremely depressed and unmotivated unless I have work or a responsibility planned .. which also makes me stressed but I make it to those errands and go straight back to my bed with out ever feeling contempt.. sorry everyone I needed to vent . Not the best day at coping

You’re not insane. I’ll tell you that, and I’m sure you’re not alone either. I personally don’t know much about anxiety yet (I’m still learning) but I get the same lack of motivation whenever I’m stressed. I find it helps sometimes to push yourself into doing something you enjoy just to do something. I have to make myself put my phone down and go do crafts or hang out with my friends, just anything to get me doing something that’s actually engaging.

Also, have you ever talked about this with your boyfriend? Maybe he could help you talk it out. Whenever I’m having irrational thoughts I find it helps to put them into words and hear for myself how rediculus it sounds and to hear other people reminding me how much they care about me and are there for me.

I hope that helps!
