Need help!

Hi guys so I need some support…In the past week I’ve really lost all motivation to do all things. I volunteer at a coffee shop and really want to quit because I don’t know how I’m gonna muster up the motivation to go in on Tuesday. …not only that!, I haven’t cleaned my apartment in a week and I have to shower and cook for myself today but feel like doing none of those things. SInce it started snowing here I haven’t been outside to go for my walk…hell it’s been a few years since I’ve gotten any proper exercise. I talked to my Naturopathic doctor yesterday and he said my “pulses” a low and that according to my tongue ( it has cracks in it) that my body isn’t doing very well. I don’t doubt it since I haven’t really been taking good care of myself lately. I guess I just need to talk to someone about this stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Adela

I was also going to say vitamine D.
It’s hard when motivation crasches but don’t give up. Force yourself to take a shower and go to the job. It will pass. Also try go out for short walks in day light.

I got myself a dog. I have to go for several walks every day. Walking makes depression go away. A dog is a good reason to take a walk. Also it is wonderful to be so loved all the time. I’m the most important person to my dog. He always greets me at the door. He does not come to the door when my husband enters. Or my kids.

Sorry I just saw this… I hope your feeling better today.

The motivation will take a huge hit with me as well. I also have to force myself… or I ask for help getting to where I need to go… or doing what I need to do.

Once things get going… then I can keep the motivation up… but there are times… just getting started is too hard.

I also needed short walks to get moving.

I hope you feel better soon.

I don’t do anything unless the situation is desperate. I literally have roaches climbing the walls in my apartment. I finally got some roach powder, and I have been applying it liberally. I don’t get enough exercise either. I’m getting fat. I think I am far enough gone that I’m ready to exercise a little. That’s how it works with me.

You need to break the pattern.

Do something funny, something wacky.

Get one of those ghost dog leashes and have a walk through a shopping plaza. Then walk over to a friend of
yours who secretly has a dog bark recording that he can activate at any time. You then ask him if he could
keep an eye on your dog as you go into a store to buy something or other. Of course no one knows that he is
your friend and thus are shocked when they start hearing the invisible dog barking.

Otherwise, it’s darn tough to break the cycle.

I deff get the feeling like I just can’t get started …like there is a wall there blocking me. I don’t know I am starting on some chinese herbal medicine I hope it works

I’ve started taking Bacopa 900mg 2x daily, but it’s too soon to make a theory. Anytime I have intense episodes I’ll end up being zombied for a couple days after because of the energy that goes into dealing w/certain episodes. It’s normal for me.

Give yourself permission to feel this way sometimes. Its okay. Don’t beat yourself up over it. I agree with Introbc, do something fun to break the free of the feeling.
