Loss of Motivation
Hai there, I just felt like I needed to get this out there. I feel the lack of motivation nowadays to do anything. I used to love trying new things, do things and have fun doing it, but I've just been so depressed and anxious lately, that all I feel like doing is sleeping. I don't feel like going to school early in the morning, and once I get there, everything seems like it goes downhill. I don't even participate in classes, to the point where my teachers are picking on me purposely for me to answer. I feel like crying every time I go to classes with fear that something bad will happen in that class. I get home and feel hiding and crying my sorrows away. I wouldn't dare to tell my parents about this, it just doesn't feel right to. I'm just hoping that things will get better soon, and that I will be back to doing things that I love.
I'm sorry you're struggling with depression. It sure can bring you down (I know). But there are ways this can be overcome. I know you feel unmotivated right now, but exercise and recreational activities have been observed to be very effective in improving one's moods. What I do when I feel down and unmotivated is turn my thoughts off for a moment, take a step back, breathe, then jump into an enjoyable and productive activity. Other than getting something great done, I'd be feeling better too! How about something simple at first, like a short walk outside or reading a new book or something of that sort? Whatever you do, I hope you feel better soon!
