Sometimes I feel fury is one of my only drivers to do things.
It's the kind of "get a grip on yourself", or "man up!" to get me going.
Anyone?

I also found out having my mom in my room and talking gives me allot of energy.
It's the isolation I've been in which probably hurts so much it stops me from being productive

Sometimes anger is a starter to me. Depression is not, ever

Yes, that's the thing. It's a kind of ignition for me at times.
I don't have a happiness drive, maybe this is why I can't be productive at things I love...

Not sure. You can be angry at yourself for not dedicating time and energy to things you love, and that could be your ignition

Yes, that's true.
But I wonder if people can be productive from a place of happiness, because I don't think I've ever been this way for some time...

Do you know the concept of "flow"? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)
To me it has been helpful
