i was only 15 seconds in and i felt like she just narrated my whole life story. jokes aside, i think this is the most accurate thing that has ever existed. i used to be so productive, but then one day, i burnt out, and i still havent recovered. i was never a lazy person. like i want to get things done, and i love doing things, but i cant. i thought it was me growing up that i needed like 12 hrs of sleep to function and couldnt get out of bed despite not even being tired. i hate that i feel like having depression is embarrassing, and makes me less worthy, or worse than others. its funny how only yt comments section know about my mental health. i have issues with being open with other humans, but at least i got the comments section as my diary. u guys dont realise how accurate this is for me, my motivation has gone down do 0 recently, and ive always been a productive freak. like in the morning, all i want to do is get up, but i just cant get myself to move, i hate it. even the stuff i have always loved and cherished like, art and crocheting are stuff that i dont do anymore, the same things i would kill to have time to do before. this is crazy how accurate it is. like before, if i had even a spare 30 mins, i would get out my paints, before all i did during the holidays, was my hobbies. this christmas holiday however, i did none of it, i stopped reading and drawing and all those things. i dont even feel love for them anymore, which u dont understand how sad that makes me. now when i paint, i feel like its a chore and that most of the time im forcing it, reading feels like studying, when before i would get scolded for how much i read. i thought it was growing up which stopped my love for video games and things, but i realised thats probably not true. Thanks to this video, i think im going to get back into them, but knowing me, its not going to happen. i feel like my whole day i just think about the things i dont do, and i over obsess about self improvement and changing who i am, but i feel like i actually should be proud of myself. despite not having motivation, i still did well academically, yet i did miss lots of days off school for just feeling so bad and being so tired. everyone ik thought i was over reacting, and so did i, but looking back, i was going through a lot. my inner child is in so much pain, i feel so bad, it needs so much help. i was so incredibly mature for my age it was terrifying, my mum would say she gave birth to a grandma. i was never a child, 7 yr old me felt like an adult. that was probably from severe childhood trauma but thats irrelevant. OMG, i just realised i did this. i feel a bit ashamed and grossed out that i do this, but i dont like hanging out with ppl, like outside of skl, its not becuase i dont like them, i never saw it as pushing them away, i just thought i didnt want to go. wow, i hate myself. i am so sorry for writing so much, this is very irrelevant and people are dying. i dont know why im acting like i am dying, like i have food and water. im sorry for being over dramatic, but this felt good, and i feel healed. i use comments as my journal. it just feels so good. i love u.

Tbh my current state is really confusing, i don't know what's wrong with me, weather it is my mental state, or just lack of interest or laziness, but since last year am feeling so down, i kind of have chopped off all people from my life, i have tons of activities to do and thousands of tasks to accomplish, but i can't make my self do it, i don't know why, i remember during august, when i enrolled in this online coching class to focus on my studies, to focus on future, i was very motivated and did a lot of hardwork but still i used to fill like am not doing well in comparison to my other batch mates, latter on this feeling took a troll no me and i completely stopped focussing on my studies, and then started making excuses, and postponing dates to restart my studies, but my body just wouldn't allow me to, and now i have less then a month left for my exams, and i haven't studied at all, but the main problem here is, I'm actually not at all bothered by this, i mean if this was my normal self or any body else, then they might be panicking at the moment, and going crazy and I'm a person who worries a lot, therefore that should have been my general reaction, but i just don't know why am totally not feeling it, and even though days are passing by so swiftly i somehow don't care at all about it. .. .
Well now that i think about it probably i don't wanna go through that tough time again that i was suffering through at the start, and that's why probably, my brain just doesn't allow me to restart, but what ever it is, i think i surely need some guidance cause this is like a do or die situation for me, and one of the most toughest times in my life, which could actually decided my whole carrier, now evern thought I'm aware of this thing I'm not serious about it, i just wish my preparations could have been like all those other students, i mean they all are doing it but why can't i, even though i know i have potential, but still for some reason i can't and latter on when I'll lose from all of them i won't have anyone to blame to, and no reason to give to. O Lord. It's exhausting to even though think about it, but i still can't do any thing.

I have clear directions on where to go to improve, the work is on the relative easy side, but time-consuming, all in all, I can clearly state that my motivation, or what I like to call it, my will to be productive, is dying, or feels already dead, when in school, I can do the work straightforwardly because it feels like a job, so I do it, but once I get home, any homework or any unfinished work feels like an impassable task, so I just shrug it off and relax and have a lazy day, and these days are getting more and more, and my lack of motivation is just making itself more and more apparent, I was a A+ student before I lost the drive to work and be academic, and only recently have I realized that for my entire life outside of being a kid who doesn't need to think about their future, I showed a lack to want to improve, learn, or obtain a skill to better my life, learn to ride a bike so I can go to school on my own, nope, no will to put in the work and my sister needs to go with me so that's out, I want to learn a certain subject for my future and I already own a book on the subject, but can't find the will to read it despite my love for reading, and only recently I found my 'love' for reading has only grown quiet and I can't even remember the last time I picked up a book and enjoyed it. I was on the road for a scholarship and my dream for college or heck, even a university, but now, it has only become a fear of not being enough anymore for that dream. I honestly can't think of the direct reason for my lack of a will to be productive, I mean, I know depression has some hand in it, but I have no idea what the exact reason is, lost the love to work? Because you have nothing besides your work? Because your not even sure if the subject you want to learn is the subject for you?
Have a wonderful life for whoever you are that decided to read this, thank you for your time, and remember, you don't have to be productive all your life, but it's good to do be productive every once in a while.

I had all of these around this time last year, I have no idea how I got out of it, all I can say is - nothing lasts forever - and things will get better if you take the time and proper steps to heal yourself. We're all human and we all have times like this - it doesn't make you more or less of anything - and I, unfortunately, had to learn that the hard way. I felt like I was losing time with how many hours I spent in that lethargic state - although time is of the essence. said time doesn't matter if you aren't taking time for your mental health. I'm still battling with this sometimes so idk what else to say lol. Always take your mental health seriously - and only take advice from people who know what they're talking about.

I've only realized now that I have no motivation for anything, lack of interest and self esteem. That I think I'm a failure and I'm losing interest in the job that I wanted to do so badly. I can't think of a time when I was motivated and knew I had it in me for school. Now. Well I feel like a wreck, a failure. Even though I have a lot of friends that are always there for me, lovely parents who support me and the best boyfriend I could have asked for. I don't understand why I feel this way and it feels like there is no reason for it. But feeling this way was so normal for me that I thought it was part of my character. I thought I'm just extremely lazy. Now I think I should check in with a doctor.

This hits harder than Truck-kun. I've always felt weak after making failures over and over again, but I've come to terms with it. I can always learn and improve (even if it takes ages. It's worth the grind. I've started feeling better after making little accomplishments, like leveling up in a video game lol. It's better than being upset about not being a movie star.
What REALLY bothers me is how other people don't take me seriously. I know it has a LOT to do with my physical appearance, but that's not my problem (well, to an extent. Even so, I am starting to like myself. Big W.

Whenever I feel like going for a walk my mum questions me and it kills the mood a bit and I just go back to my room, I do understand that she has a list of mental health issues and that herself. When I want to do something outside the home as simple as a walk in the local woodland she always says no and it makes me feel isolated, I know I have autism but I am aware of my surroundings most of the time and it makes me stick the phone all day but I do try something productive but I don't get much feeling from it.

Motivation is a myth or at least thats how you should treat it Andrew tate said this better but basically motivation if you truly want to live the good life motivation must be ignored even if you had to say speed around in a Ferrari all day and have fun all night there will still be days where you wake up and dont want to the hard Part is that working towards the good life is much less fun then fast cars and parties so basically forget motivation work on discipline thatll get ya much further in life.

I have studiously tried to avoid ever using the word 'madness' to describe my condition. Now and again, the word slips out, but I hate it. 'Madness' is too glamorous a term to convey what happens to most people who are losing their minds. That word is too exciting, too literary, too interesting in its connotations, to convey the boredom, the slowness, the dreariness, the dampness of depression. - Elizabeth Wurtzel (1967-2020) author of Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed In America

Self-distancing- yes, I do that all the time. I can't understand why friends say It's more fun when you're here. That just makes no sense to me. When I write it out, I can see what they are saying, but I just can't belive it. My family is happy that I live over a thousand miles away. And yet this group of people, who barely know me, think I am wonderful. I think they are deluded. I'm severely depressed and yet they think I'm fun? Weird.

idk why but he only two people i want to hang out with anymore are my older friends. mostly one, lets call her S, and the other A. A has lots of energy and ive been with her since she was 0 and i was 1 and we are best of friends and i love to be around her. S ive been around for a bit less, since 2nd grade, but i want to be with her more than anyone else. literally all other people exhaust me and i want to stay away from.
reply

Yup. All symptoms present.
Like, really. All of them.
I loose interest in things I like to do (play videogames,
Have a fixed mindset,
Don't want to take part in family gatherings (even just going to the store,
Work problems (technically school problems, 6h of sleep, long lessons, bad grades, etc, which plays into over stimulation.
So yeah, not good.

Dysthymia is really fun especially when one of your 'friends' tells you as long as you don't traumatize others while seeking help and just one reason not to do it. It feels wrong that the people at the 'fun-time' hotline care more about you than your actual 'friends'. And of course, they keep calling you a friend, but when you question that believe, they lie to you.

my videos are shit but I used to love editing them, now it's more of a chore for some reason, plus I notice that they hardly get any attention (not that internet fame was ever my goal, but still. it used to be my one outlet along playing the bass, but I find I'm enjoying both less and less. damn, everything in this video applies to me.
reply

Uhm
I've asked someone an egoistic request like this before, but I must get the most information in life, so.
May I ask you guys to make a video on how to communicate with timid, shy people or such? I really need that kind of information, since the first 2 timidly shy people I've met til' now don't want to say anything.

There are so many bad stories regarding shrooms because they weren't properly guided. You don't have to trip to microdose with shrooms. And microdosing is essential in aiding anxiety, depression and trauma. Message the handle on my description name to get some shrooms and proper guidance on the dosage.

It is so hard for me rn, I have my exams in a week and I have absolutely no resources nor motivation to prepare for them and study. It has been like this for months, I do not know what to do. I do consult with psychologist, but nothing helps, I feel exhausted each day with constant stress.
reply

Hey Psych2Go team,
I dont have a lack of motivation but i dont know how to use my motivation since i slowly recoverd from my depression over the last year and still learn how to socialize again. Could you make a a video about finding a way to use your motivation when u dont know how?

reply

Its the reason that I only had two people say happy birthday. Its the reason that everything feels fake. Its the reason how I can see myself and I dont have anything lovable. Its the reason that my last friend is pulling away. Its the reason that Im only 13

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

I cannot seem to figure out why i'm constantly tired, my body feels heavy, I have no motivations, I dread hanging out with others, and I can't sleep without melatonin. Is this depression or am I burnt out emotionally?
