Everything feels like a chore. I had a burst of energy last week and started painting again. The days flew by. I was energized and happy. I had to force myself day before yesterday to work on the painting. I was ok once I did, but the last two days I haven't been able to. I slept almost all day yesterday. I have so much I would like to do while I'm looking for a job because I have all this time on my hands. I just can't stay motivated. I feel lazy and worthless right now. I don't know what my triggers are. I honestly feel like I don't have any, it just is. It's frustrating. I wanted to know if this is typical. I'm contemplating going back to my psychiatrist to reevaluate my medication. That's how bad this is.

It is OK to feel lazy, just don't feel worthless about it. Maybe change doctors.

I don't think I have triggers either so its hard to understand that phenomenon. Lack of motivation is something I have some experience with. Sometimes you just have to push through that and bull your way through it like a wall because that's what it is IMO.
A wall that can hold you back from life. A big, thick, tough wall
Good luck fighting through yours.

I understand you too well.
I never asked for a proper diagnose, but i always catalogue about these feelings as depression.
It is defintely triggered by something that maybe is too down under in our psyches for us to recognize them.
The worthlessness feeling is typical.

How about going back to therapy? Not only change medication, but reporting these feeling to a therapist and try to sort that out'

It's not easy, you need luck too, but it's very important.

My heart goes to you.
