recently, I’ve been skipping out on going to group and volunteering. I’ve gone for months to group, and weeks to volunteer but recently I’ve been not going to both. Are commitment issues a part of the disease? I’d like to get up to go to both, but I just don’t have the drive/motivation to keep doing so. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes commitment is a big issue for me. Although I stuck with my music lessons and now it’s turned around. So something I’m working on.

everything was going fine at both group and volunteering, but now I just can’t get up to go to either of them. Glad I’m not the only one

I was seeing a dietician for a year. Then I gave up. But a year is a long time.
I think the random good days/bad days of this disease can get to you.

I find it hard also to stay committed. It’s due to motivation and enjoyment and concentration. The thing I’ve stayed committed to for two years is walking group and that’s cause I enjoy that the most out my other groups. I tend to not have good attendance on my other thing due to symptoms.
Try not to give yourself a hard time over it. It’s likely not because you don’t want to be committed but just because of symptoms getting in the way.

Staying the course with anything is hard for me . I get discouraged easily.
I have no motivation to do anything, even when I do I feel inertia and the dysphoria settles in. So when I feel like this I just go ahead and do it.
I think it is mostly lack of motivation to do anything for me at least. You gotta have motivation to commit to something.
I’m really struggling to stay committed to the group. It’s about a 1.5 hour roundtrip to the group, and the group only lasts 40 minutes usually. I think it’s the stress of driving in the city that’s getting to me…

I don’t blame you.
I really like the doctor and assistant that lead the group, but I just don’t have it in me to drive there. Oh well

I give you major props for even trying to keep going. That’s a long drive. Many people would have said no way to begin with.

I forget who said it but “fake it until you make it” applies to us.

I’m finally starting to feel comfortable at volunteering. It’s a nice 20 minute drive from where I live, and the other volunteers are friendly. I think I’ll keep going

I quit the MIT programming course again. I had about a week left. So yes, I give up all the time and never finish anything. I refuse to go back to school. I’ve given up.
