Who else feels completely meh?

No motivation to do anything around the house. So sit messing about on my phone feeling guilty about it.
Hair and and nails are a mess as I am useless at these things, I usually pay someone to sort it, and that is getting me down.
DD and DN both have colds are just arguing over every little thing.
I had a big holiday and a house move and plans to TTC this month. This has all fallen through.
Just feel like I am going through the motions and everything is so dull.
Tell me I'm not the only one!

I am so so lazy and also find it hard to motivate to do anything. I'm in Scotland so my secondary school kids are still hanging about as they will have a grand total of 1 day a week in a school before Easter. Finding it hard to motivate them to do school work too

You are not alone. Lockdown with things being closed means that routines have gone to pieces and tomorrow is the same as today, so why bother to do anything?

triceratopsmama · 15/03/2021 13:23

Me. Completely meh. Have managed to do the housework today but honestly even speaking feels like too much effort.

dementedpixie · 15/03/2021 13:26

I need to empty the dishwasher and empty the kitchen bin
I have done a load of washing and hung it up
I've made bowls of fruit for the kids so they don't end up with scurvy 🤣
Now I'm on the couch with crap TV in the background

The fact that they’ve deliberately planned for nothing to open until After the Easter holidays has annoyed me beyond measure - I understand why they’ve done it but it feels like an absolute kick in the teeth. People are desperate to get out (and spend money) but we can’t.
I forsee awful weather too, as in stuck indoors, just to stick the knife in some more 🙄

GenderApostate19 · 15/03/2021 13:32

I’m at the point where I would kill for a trip to Ikea, I don’t even particularly like bloody Ikea!

CandyLeBonBon · 15/03/2021 13:33

Same@RosieLemonade. I've got works, and a masters assignment to get on with. I just can't. Every time I try, I end up feeling so blocked I go back on my phone because I can't beat it

grassisjeweled · 15/03/2021 13:33

No motivation at all

dementedpixie · 15/03/2021 13:34

Dh took me an exotic trip to a Chinese supermarket yesterday! Nowhere else to go except supermarkets these days

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 15/03/2021 13:36

I have literally just sent my dh a text saying feeling Meh..

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 15/03/2021 13:37

He's suggested I go for a walk Hmm
Fuck off

doitwithlove · 15/03/2021 13:37

I am working through admin task & chores. Feeling deflated, gonna have a cuppa.

VerityWibbleWobble · 15/03/2021 13:41

I am so meh I'm beyond meh.

I can't even watch tv because I can't find the controls, I think dh who had to go in to the office today might have accidentally put them in his work bag.

I want somewhere to go that isn't a flipping supermarket or a walk.

Cam2020 · 15/03/2021 13:48

This sounds exactly like me for the last week. Struggling to concentrate at work, doing the bare minimum housework wise, feeling completely flat and devoid of mental or physical energy or motivation.

MuthaFunka61 · 15/03/2021 13:49

Thank goodness it's not just me.

I do usually take the girls to the park but I feel a physical aversion to it at the moment. We have been every Monday whatever the weather since October.

I desperately want to do something other than walks. I have a three month old and walking is REALLY wearing thin!

beela · 15/03/2021 13:54

Me!

I have 1001 jobs to get on with but I cba to get off the sofa. I know that later on I will feel rubbish because I didn't get anything done.

dementedpixie · 15/03/2021 13:55

My bum is numb from sitting but can't bring myself to move

I know what you mean. I have an almost physical aversion to doing anything other than lying in bed and looking at banal shit on my phone. I don't want to talk to anyone, or go anywhere or anything. It's awful
dragonsmoke · 15/03/2021 13:56

Full of meh !!!!!!

plantingandpotting · 15/03/2021 14:18

Totally with you. After 10 years being antidepressant free, I'm back on them. Not feeling devastatingly or obviously sad, just completely flat and meh. Unable to see the good in anything at all.

ElsaMars · 15/03/2021 14:29

Meh could be my middle name. No desire or inclination to do anything. Every little bastard thing is a huge effort. Dreading school pick up. I'm on ADs and would up them but I'm already on a high dose, so fear I'd zombiefy myself!

Cbeebiesischeesy · 15/03/2021 14:36

Yes! Have zero motivation, the house is a tip and needs doing, my hair needs washing, I’ve planned activities for toddler (craft etc) but just cba, feel a mess and yuk but no motivation to change it.

dementedpixie · 15/03/2021 14:38

Managed to sort dishwasher and empty bins. Have made a cup of tea and resumed my position on the couch
