Can someone give me a swift kick to get me off the couch. I have a few things that must be done before I head to bed ( meds, wrapping up) and my motivation is so bad that here I am complaining about it and not willing to do anything about it. I just keep sitting and looking ahead. It’s actually painful. Worse than motivation. I don’t actually feel anything just logically I do. Too lazy to go to bed. I’m so lazy. It’s gross. But I dont care enough to do anything about it I guess. I’ll just sit here for an hour or so bc going to bed feels like a chore. Haha. Pathetic hey. So discouraged that I live like this. Anyone else feel like doing nothing all the time?
Say something that will make me give a $#1+ enough to start being a little more human. Be mean if you want. Something that will make my mind click into forward motion.
I guess antipsychotics do this, dull the mind and get rid of will. But… sigh… I need them.
Thanks
I doubt you’re actually that lazy. Sounds like some pretty bad AP side effects and negative symptoms. I used to be exactly the same. Still am a lot of times. The only thing that helps me is having to take care of my kid. But I don’t suggest that as a coping mechanism. 
Alarms help some of us. Like, set a timer and when it goes off you get up and do whatever for 5 minutes then give yourself another half hour to stare at the wall, then get up for another 5 minutes.
I’ll try that. I set times for my goals but not setting a timer. Five mins off and on seems a little doable if I know I can do nothing in five.
Yup, taking care of my kids and family is the only thing that motivate/forces me too. It requires so much strength that I compare it to lifting a car off your kid, you’d do anything to save them. I fake it for them, chores for them, anything to seem normalish.
Thanks will try the alarm
Well I snoozed my timer for one minute at least 30 times and it’s annoying enough that I just might get the f up now and get stuff done to sleep. I’m not turning it off. Will try timers tomorrow too. Thanks @LED
One time I was ■■■■■■■ exhausted but too busy staring at the wall to manage to get myself up to get my meds and just go to bed. So after setting and cancelling a few alarms I set one and then tossed my phone to the other side of the room so my only choices were to listen to it for ten minutes until it shut itself off, or actually get up and turn it off. But since getting up was the hardest part, I was able to get my meds and go to bed after that.
Lol you rock. Good picture. Headed to bed. Night.
