Something’s not right

no motivation for.. anything

hi guys, i have really been struggling with motivating myself to do anything. well not really, i do get motivation it just burns off too quickly.

 

for example i want to do something, i do the first (or first few) steps in order to do that thing then i just give up.. (like eating healthier food, i brought food and i just haven’t been bothered to cook it (i have still been eating))

 

this is just so frustrating and confusing!!!!!!!

Arghhh @starsmile 

 

I hear that! Do you think it is a lack of energy? Or do you think it is procrastination?

 

Sometimes, I find that having someone to be accountable to, helps. Or even an app where I have to log in my progress. 

 

Would that be helpful?

 

Or, @AuntGlow is working on a thread where we set goals and are accountable for them (reflection). Maybe we can tag you into this one once it's up?

 

Re: no motivation for.. anything

sorry for the late reply @tyme . completely forgot to pick up my meds that i need to sleep, so now i’m unfortunately waiting in the ed. 😞

it’s most likely lack of energy, i have been exhausted recently.

will think about the accountability thread. thank you!

Re: no motivation for.. anything

How you feeling today @starsmile ?

Re: no motivation for.. anything

much better thank you for asking @tyme ! quite chilly though.

how are you tonight?

Re: no motivation for.. anything

I was just telling people on the forums that my brain was cold! I've just put a beanie on, so my head is warming up 🙂 @starsmile 

 

I'm getting tired so I'm going Zzzzzzzz soon!

 

Do you have a list of things on your to-do list for tomorrow?

Re: no motivation for.. anything

@tyme haha, i’ve been wearing my gloves more (i normally wear them to stop myself from eating my nails) since my skin is cracking due to the cold.

yup, sleep time for me soon too, especially after last night’s bed time

haven’t written up a to do list but i plan to wake up early to kick my butt into gear, tidy my room & shower.

Re: no motivation for.. anything

is anyone around to chat? my head is pounding & my heart rate won’t drop. i’m not entirely sure what to do, i’ve already had 4 painkillers (not all at once).

Re: no motivation for.. anything
