losing motivation & venting

eradicateflower November 12th

Recently these past few weeks I’ve been losing motivation in a lot of things. Things like hobbies, relationships with people, school, etc. It’s unlike me to give up but I do it almost all the time now, before i didn’t feel that way as much but now I do more than ever. I’ve been having thoughts on giving up my social life; deleting my social media accounts, cutting off friends — even those closest to me, which hurts me that i think that way of them because they are very dear to me. I’ve also been thinking about leaving public school and switching to online. I love the classes they offer, especially film class, but I’ve been so unmotivated to try anymore. My anatomy class stresses me out the most too and I pretty much already gave up on it. The thing is I know I have to take anatomy in order to become a nurse, so giving up on anatomy would basically be me giving up on becoming one.


At this point I don’t even know what to do anymore.

when we look or wait for motivation sometimes it is simply not there.   Sometimes I found I had to push myself or re-frame. 

Instead of avoiding things ... dug in deeper to subject or job to find out more times then not it was not as hard or complicated as i built it up to be.   when i was unmotivated and felt i was not doing good i did not want to contact others and let them know i was struggling. so i put off contact or staying in touch, Now i feel lonely cause i do not know how to explain away how i ignored them.

Procrastination or avoidance grows quickly.

If having trouble with anatomy have you asked for help or tutoring?   took another approach sometime it takes a person showing you from another angle to make things fall into place changing school or changing jobs etc does not fix the lack of motivation that is INSIDE of us we take it with us....sure in short term it feels different but easy to fall back to the who cares mode.
