I feel depressed in the sense of lack of motivation

All I do is eat sleep work.

I don’t want to do anything else.

And pushing myself will make me feel worse… What’s the point?

Can anyone relate

I’m not having crying spells it ain’t like that.

I just really lack motivation.

Things I do actually do, I do because I require to for basic survival.

I think this is a phase.

Hey, at least you work. I haven’t had a job in years.

I do relate to this i’m not working but I need to practice to get better with stuff I wan’t to be better at, yet I don’t feel motivation to do it, and that makes me feel like my brain is just a bunch of crap, but I keep going on anyways. btw I like your We Baby Bears avatar looks so cute lol.

I think your work drains your energy. That’s probably why you lack of motivation to do something in addition to your eat and work.

what do you need more than that? you can work and thats a good thing and thats means you have good motivation to be able to work. we schizophrenic have low motivation because of our disease and atypical antipsychotics alleviate this symptom. dont go hard on yourself

Yea obviously I’m glad to be independent. But that isn’t my point in this thread.

To clarify. I’m very greatful for my job. I have the most amazing team I’ve ever been part of.

But that is not everything in life.

I think I agree with you. Hopefully with time, I can stop it from sucking my energy at points, and instead I thrive more.

I know I’ve said it before, but me being unfit imo… It does make the job sort of draining as I’m dragging my body weight around, cleaning a LOT of stuff, especially on Saturdays double shift.

But I have no choice, I really need to save money atm.

And working makes me independent and contribute to society in the sense of taxes. Since I’m able to.

Friendship…
Hobbies…

Energy to do house chores better…

A better mood…
Not relying on coffee and junk food to get me through my shift as my body doesn’t agree with it long term.

As I said above, work is good for me to have… Obviously.

But… Work is not a healthy life if that’s all that’s in it.

I think it’s the abilify too.

When I wasn’t on it, I felt more alert more awake, stronger physically and such.

But abilify is important to take nevertheless.

The alternative could be death or something else worse than my current situation.

Well sometimes on the occasion I do. But it’s not often.

I feel like I’m dragging myself around through mud.

I have got like 1 or 2 friends but it’s mostly watsapp as I feel anxiety f2f.

Life just used to be very different.

Like I said, it’s a phase.

But I like to vent today about that.
