It's a never-ending closed loop when I'm too tired for spending times when I have nothing to do, and then I'm too lazy for doing something such as uni, organisation, responsibilities, that I have to do.

One thing I can do when It's getting boring when playing osu or other games or anything Is being aware, and stop it immediately. What about yours? Do you have thing similar to mine?

Depression sucks, I'm having to force myself to even do the things I like and make them habits. If I don't I just get worse.

But my big problem is less being lazy or unmotivated and more of an overwhelming resistance to changing tasks. Pretty sure that isn't a depression thing, but I'm 'murican so ain't about to go try and pay for mental health shit and end up not even getting any help. (Am diganosed with depression though, since a family medicine doctor can do that.)

What is a depression thing is that I don't really feel much enjoyment from the things I like to do, hence having to force myself to do them most of the time.


I do wonder if its possible to ever not feel tired as an adult, without being a multimillionaire's kid.

Thats me everyday honestly, the only reason I do things like work is because I am obligated to and I get paid obviously. I kinda just go through it, sometimes I do things I need to do sometimes I don't, its a cycle that I just live with. There is little to no enjoyment for the things I like nor is there huge malice for the things I don't, I just exist doing it.

Try self-care. It helps bring back random bursts of motivation!

When I have moments like that it helps to be in silence and doing something mindless and not very stimulating like walking outside or lying on the couch or bed daydreaming.

When you are busy all the time it doesn't leave your mind time to decompress. If you play video games or watch anime a lot in your downtime, it doesn't really let your mind slow down and its hard to relax.

You're right. I like doing other activities with relaxing yet with higher mindfullness (as in you being yourself at this moment). Drawing or brisk walking for just half a hour uplift my mood for the day

sometimes this happens to me too, this condition can last even a couple of months, and then I am super motivated again and fulfill my duties
and it's just an endless circle, I don't know what it's called.
constantly when I think that "this is the white line in life", and after a certain time I can't even read a book or study some homework, because there is no motivation. I have to do everything by force and in the end I feel worse because I thought that I could have done better.
it's a strange thing, but for the last 2 years, its doesn't leave me at all and I can't adjust to it

anyway lmao

I can literally relate to you. I actually don't even know what to do, even though I have homework to do or smth. it also gets worse when I don't have the urge to play osu in free time, lol

I relate to this, sadly I feel it has been worsening and I have no motivation most days, even when I have work I have been letting it pile up... and with video games or even TV I am genuinely too unmotivated to want to do anything, I will spend hours just sitting and thinking but not doing anything even if I have free time.

What I noticed that has helped me some days, although I will drag myself is cleaning around a bit, makes me happy and encourages me to accomplish more within the day.

as an artist, that's pretty much what artblock feels like

too unmotivated to make progress, but too lazy to complete when deadlines are just everywhere.

what i usually trying to do is to try at least doing something no matter how insignificant. Bcs idk how long i need to take a rest to even get my mood up.

same but I can never tell if I am wasting time by doing that or if it's good to spend time thinking through things.

for me I have to sometimes force myself to start doing something but then once I get into it I forget that I was being lazy about it

It's getting better thank you bestie <333

I caught "something" last week so I'm on antibiotics for several weeks. I'm not going to talk about it online, but it's treatable worries!!

Actually, I remember having this feeling before. It was when I'd caught something really bad in september of this year and when I woke up, I was way too tired for truly relaxing since I couldn't stop coughing (there was even blood sometimes) and I was apathetically down to actually draw or write something. It's only when I'm very ill that I can do absolutely nothing since even resting was an ordeal @-@

When they say play more but you can't because you're too tired and unmotivated,
If i were motivated i could get 5000 plays in a month and go from 200k to 100k but i literally am too tired.
I could just sit and have shower thoughts for days right now lol.
It could be a caffeine addiction or just not enough exposure to bright light, or maybe depression but prob not as im on meds and still experiencing this, daydreaming can help clear your mind tho, maybe spending some time without any external stimulation might help others as it does for me.
