Motivation

How do you find the motivation to do anything anymore?

I can't seem to find the motivation or effort to do anything and I just get called lazy and thrown to the side when I try my hardest to do something but I just can't find the energy to do it. But when I finally sit down and do something it all just goes wrong and I just find myslef defeated and give up.

Give up worrying about the end result. Do things because you enjoy doing them, and try not to concern yourself with whatever anyone thinks about it.

I don't find that to be the problem as such I would love to do the things I love but my brain and mind can't find the energy or effort to do it so the result is just being more depressed sadly

But thank you that actually gave me a small boost that's how I want to live my life so thank you

My pleasure.

If you are depressed, you will actually have the energy to do some ofthe things you would love to do. That's because the feeling of having no energy is a symptom of depression,and not a statement of truth.

Try it.

I most definately shall thanks a lot! 😁

I suppose a different mind set and the way in which you think about stuff can help a lot.

In some ways the current thinking about depression resembles the advice around backache, i.e. don't let it stop you moving, because the back tends to seize up unnecessarily.

Do let us know how you are doing.
