Do you struggle with motivation?
When life gets mentally challenging, sometimes I find it particularly hard to motivate myself. Sometimes I rise to the occasion and sometimes I don’t.
Do you struggle with motivation? If so, how do you manage on your bad days?

I struggle with anxiety, any stress makes it worse and then I seem to lose all motivation to do anything. It’s this in particular that’s really adversely affecting the quality of my life. I often feel it’s not worth living 😔

I have been having a lot of trouble with motivation lately. It just seems like I’m too tired to do anything even though I may get enough sleep. It just all seems too hard. I’ve been wondering how to lift myself up. I haven’t found an answer yet.

Yes, apathy is definitely a problem for me. I don’t care about things i used to be passionate about. And a lot things seem too stressful. I just started on antidepressants and will see if that helps.

I’m so thankful for this forum.
For quite a while I thought it was just me & to learn that others are experiencing the same things is so reassuring.

I find apathy and loss of motivation one of the biggest contributors to less quality of life for me. It’s very difficult and challenging to motivate myself when I feel so apathetic. I use prayer, exercise and a prescribed antidepressant to address feeling apathetic. Getting outside and changing my environment seems to be most helpful

I have become very adept at pivoting. If I’m tired, my symptoms are more pronounced than usual or I’m feeling stuck, I’ll pivot, put off big things and focus on smaller goals like short bursts of exercise throughout the day or cleaning out a drawer. Even something silly like a Godzilla movie marathon while I work on some knitting helps. After a few days I feel better, pivot again, and tackle the big stuff.
