Keeping motivation
Motivation & Accountability / by theatriclove

...See more Lately I've felt so tired of my life and my job. It's like it's a never ending story. Sure I have lots of fun things planned these coming months but the fact that I have to go back to work and normal life makes me so unhappy. It will all come to an end June 2025 tho because I am quitting then to travel all summer and then I'm moving to a new city in August 2025 and I'll start studying then as well. But I just need tips on how to keep my motivation going until then. Cause I feel like I'm going crazy.

Cancelled therapy

...See more I cancelled my therapist appointment today due to anxiety. I was going to open up today, about a big trauma in my life. But when I woke up I was so anxious about it that I cancelled, i said i was sick. My therapist called me later and asked me if I was really sick or if I was anxious. I lied and said I was sick. I feel like such a mess for cancelling, I always end up doing this. I just want to bury myself in bed and never leave again. I hate myself for doing it.

...See more I'm really struggling tonight. Been a while since I've felt like this. I don't know what it is but I can feel it crawl under my skin making me paralysed in bed. I have this routine I do before I go to sleep, yoga, read, then sleep. It helps me fall asleep faster. I don't feel like doing it now at all but I will do it, I'll force myself to do it. Just 5 minutes of yoga and a few pages of my book. It still counts right? It's still good? I really need this routine to stick for my mental healths sake but it's so hard to do when I'm feeling like this. Anyone got any tips on how to maintain a routine while feeling really ***?

...See more Hello everyone. My best friend struggles with pretty bad SH. This is a habit that begun recently. One time she called me and told me she had cut too deep and she was panicking and I was panicking cause I live 4 hours away. She tried to call her boyfriend first but he didn't pick up so she called me. And she cut herself as she was talking to me, her scream still haunts me. She does this due to OCD. While on that call i tried to calm her as best as I could and also tell her to hold pressure with a towel on her wound. It turned out okay, she reached her boyfriend eventually and he came home early from work. But in those situations I can freeze, not know what to say or do. I was close to calling an ambulance cause I was so worried, but I also couldn't see how much blood she was losing, if she was exaggerating cause she was panicking or if there was a lot of blood. I also asked her multiple times if I should call one and I trust her to be honest with me. Obviously I would've called one if she had continued to cut deep or if I believed it was necessary. Does anyone have any advice in what to say or do in these situations? Cause I genuinely don't know and I don't want to make her more upset or trigger her OCD more in any way. Please help me.

Sleep issues

...See more This week I've been waking up at 5 to go to work. I have gotten maximum 5 hours of sleep each night, sometimes less. I am exhausted, overly tired. I lay in bed all night without being able to sleep even if I feel like my body is so tired and exhausted. I don't know what to do. Nothing helps, no meditation. I don't take any medication for my sleep. Does anyone have any tips? I am desperate for sleep.
