So, I have intentions on doing thjngs with my day. But I just don't get round to doing them... I don't know why. I'm generally wanting to do these things but feel too tired. I work though Nd that's ok for now but I am part time ( as and when ) and I find on days off even though there's things I want to do for myself but I don't do it .... And I'm angry and confused bout everything . Help??? I just have zero motivation it's even a struggle to get dressed . I mean am bein called lazy by my parents and ' grow up' and ' well snap outta it'.... I would if I could ?! Sorry about rant. I just need guidance ? Xx

Also I keep 'zoning out'

sounds like depression.

my guess is you have no choice but to seek therapy & probably meds.

am waiting for therapy ( my appointment is 2nd April) I duno if I can survive this that long xx

Wow. I don't know you, but you are in my head. I don't know what would help/motivate you, but I can tell you what helped me.

Don't make a large to-do list when you are feeling this way. Do ONE thing. One thing that will make you feel just a little better, a little refreshed.

One time, all I did was put clean sheets on my bed and crawled back in. That was it. That's all I did that day. But I slept a little sounder, and then, the NEXT day, I showered and changed into clean PJs. The day after that... clean clothes AND I ate enough to take my vitamins without feeling sick.

Sometimes, you have crawl before you can run. So, don't get ahead of yourself. Eventually, make a to-do list and don't beat yourself up that you only crossed off 1 or 2 things.. there is always tomorrow. Hang in until then. Have faith that you will get there.

yup..... those first meetings always seem to be a LONG wait.

see if you can get your name on their "cancellation list" (so if another patient cancels at the last minute that you can get in sooner.

Thanks guys for listening to me. I wi take ur advice. I just feel really understood here. I'm writing n crying at same time excuse the mistakes xxx

I've cleaned my room a little but now I feel more tired... But the bf is taking me out for food and I need to get ready n I just have no energy whatsoever xxx

We are glad that you are here and I hope you find some solace as well.

Does your bf know your situation? If so, maybe he/she would be okay with getting take-out and a movie at home.

Others usually mean well, but when I'm feeling that way, it's more of a burden to reach their expectations. If you can't bring yourself to go out, don't feel guilty. Just let them know that you appreciate their thoughtfulness and effort, but you just aren't up to it. It makes me feel anxious and ashamed, like I'm admiting my weakness, but in the long run I'm better off (otherwise, I'm forced to cut those people out of my life). Be honest. The truth hurts... but forcing a fake smile... can hurt more.

Thanks paynful xxx I totally agree. I ended up out and resenting more xxx
