Feeling weak and losing my motivation

I'm supposed to feel fine, actually. Nothing's serious happening in my life right now; I have some problems and worries but it's all been getting better recently. But today I suddenly found myself feeling really low and weak. I wanna draw or write or watch something maybe, but I just feel like nothing really matters, even the things that usually make me excited. I feel like I won't make it through all this mess, I'm afraid of my future, I can't stop overthinking, my mind's messed up. Every little thing makes me worry way more than it should. And I don't even feel like it all matters, maybe I'm just making everything up and maybe it's my fault I feel so bad and maybe I'm just wasting your time and I'm sorry for whining. I feel so messed up. Thanks for listening

Im glad youre letting things out <3 And Im really sorry that youre feeling this way, it can be so challenging to feel low and overthink things but at the same time feel like it doesnt matter. I have these periods too so I feel for you! But hey, youre allowed to feel however you feel, and youre allowed to let it out, its not a waste of time to do so, not at all. But yeah, feeling like that sucks, so I hope your motivation and excitation comes back!

I hope putting words on it and letting it out made you feel a bit better, if you want to talk further about it, or anything, feel free to reach out, Ill be happy to listen and try to help <3

Take good care of yourself!

I completely know the feeling. It's just so hard to do anything, and all I could think is if it's better do fight this alone, or bring mroe people into my life. The answer is to always talk as much as you can, be as honest as you can with yourself and to others. I'm feeling so alone, and useless in this world. I'm hoping the feeling will pass soon, but yes we all deal with lack of motivation. I see my friends / family doing so well, and achieving great things. Know that everyone, you and I, are all achieving things in our own way!

What works for my motivation to increase is going for a run outside, visiting a new restaurant /shop, just talking more than usual, and reading.

Right now, I'm honestly struggling. I did a nature walk, but all my tasks just seem so daunting. I'm going to try meditating. I wish you luck, as I am going through the same thing!

@inlovewithsky I am feeling the exact same way!! The phrase "nothing really matters" pops in my head all the time. You're not alone! I think we have to make small goals and be there for ourselves and try our best to be optimistic and get past this feeling.

@dogmomof1 oh, thanks for that small reminder. Right, these feelings are temporary after all. Hope you'll get better soon.
