Unable to motivate
Does anyone else have trouble getting/staying motivated? I'm really struggling with doing more than the bare minimum most days.
I have been officially diagnosed with childhood PTSD and am under the care of a counselor. There are things I want to do, like start sewing, play videogames, stuff like that but I find myself stuck sitting here unable to gain the energy to accomplish anything. I would appreciate it if anyone had any suggestions, or tips of how to combat this?
@Lilly28 Hey, Lily. Sorry to hear you are struggling right now. Getting motivated can be difficult, and the process is different for everyone. I remind you not to overwhelm yourself - focus on one small task at a time. And give yourself credit when you do something well or enjoy it, no matter how small it is. What sorts of video games do you like?
@Lilly28 I would say write on a piece of paper stuff you want to do and kinda do some of them and like cross them off as ur day goes along like u acomplished something. maybe like do something give ur self some reward. but also like to be in a pattern. i like walking in the morning. and um watching the news at 5. and eating and maybe napping. but a pattern.
