Infinite Sadness, I'm sorry that you are having trouble with motivation as well. It's been a while since I have been on the forums, and I can say that my motivation has definitely increased. I think mostly it's because my classes have started back up and I am forced to be more active, but I guess it also helps that my Doc increased my Rx.

I still struggle with the weekends, so what I've started doing is signing up for volunteer events on Sat. and Sun. mornings. This way I've got somebody holding me accountable to get up and out the door, and once I'm done with the volunteering I head to my university library to work on my studies - because I know if I go home I will head straight to bed! The big bonus in all of this is that I love to volunteer and make a difference, so with every event I go to, my mood becomes a little less heavy and a little more positive.

If volunteering isn't your thing then figure out what is, and do it. Try to think of the last "out of your house" activity, or place that you went to, that put a smile on your face and had you enjoying the moment...then, just figure out how you can incorporate that activity or place into your schedule. It also helps to have someone counting on you to follow through (well, at least for me it does), so you might want to figure out a way to have someone hold you accountable.

Good luck!
