Motivation has always been a problem for me, I guess because I haven't really pushed myself that hard. When I'm depressed it is even more difficult to get motivated to do anything. The only tips I can think of is to make small goals for yourself of what you want to do or get done. Nothing huge- just something to get you moving forward a bit. It's still really difficult and having family and friends close by to talk to and push you is ideal.

Good luck!
