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!

Yanbu. Feel crap. Our UK break was cancelled so really low about that. Nothing to look forward to.
I wfh pt (lucky), I've taken up knitting and sometimes walk on my days off.
I struggle to feed us.... Sooo siiiccckk of ccookkkiing.
Bored of EVERYTHING. Teenager back at school but for how long? She's cracking up with stress of choosing options online. Link failure I've notified the school contact... But who knows if they'll sort it. School is rather shit.
Totally fed up no fun on the horizon. I'd kill to be in Turkey now. Without masks and on a private plane.

I'm with you! I washed up at lunchtime and put a load of laundry on and felt like I was superwoman for my efforts!! The prospect of another 6 weeks of this is killing me.

Movinghouseatlast · 15/03/2021 14:46

I'm so glad it's not just me! I have so much to do, and it's stuff I want to get done, which will make me happy when it's done but I just cannot be arsed to do it!!!

I just sit here on my stupid phone, prevarication.

I will feel guilty and regretful later but the same will happen tomorrow too!

Yes, me too. Both me & toddler sat on sofa with stinking colds watching Peppa Pig. House is a midden. Just counting down the hours until bedtime

You are not the only one. I only got out of bed before lunchtime because the window cleaner was here and I have to pay him in cash. Last time he was here I just didn't bother getting out of bed so didn't think it fair to ignore him a 2nd time. I haven't even got dressed yet. I should clean the bathroom but I can't face it. So I'm not. I'm just eating chocolate and lurking on Mumsnet. I'm lazy by nature but I've taken it to new heights recently. Well, it was cold, we're in lockdown etc etc. I might go for a walk later, if I can be bothered getting dressed.

Me too. I roll out of bed at the last possible moment before I need to work. I'm supposed to be working now but I can't be arsed and nothing can motivate me. At the end of the day I just eat and stare into my phone until it'stime to go to bed, usually before 9pm because at least I still enjoy sleeping. My house is a mess, I just do the bare minimum to keep on top of things.

Are we depressed? I don't feel depressed in myself, it's just that everything seems pointless right now.

Completely agree - week off work, supposed to be in the sun. In the bedroom looking at nonsense on the phone. Have managed to wash my hair, get dressed and put on one load of washing all day - its a low bar.

Dont want to cook, walk or speak to anyone

I am so glad to read all of these posts. I thought it was just me. Feel like a complete failure at life. Lie in bed most of the day watching tv or on my phone. Order too many take aways. House is a tip. Average about 200 steps a day.
Zero motivation for anything at all.

AmberItsACertainty · 15/03/2021 15:56

Me too. I can't be bothered to engage with anyone or anything. I think lockdown has maybe killed off my friendships, which were a bit precarious to start with, being new people. I feel an aversion to speaking to anyone else, I don't want to hear how they are, I don't want to hear their problems or even their good news. I'm fed up with my own life and I don't want to think about other people's.

Are we depressed? I don't feel depressed in myself, it's just that everything seems pointless right now.

I was wondering this last week. I've never had depression before and I'd be loathe to try and pass this funk off as something so, serious, but maybe it is a form of depression. Everything is just so flat and pointless. I don't even have the energy or motivation to do the things I usually enjoy doing.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

BigPaperBag · 15/03/2021 16:15

OMG...me!! I was just saying to DH that I’m just so bored of feeling bored!! We’ve been looking up some lovely restaurants to go to for when they open. We’re going to try somewhere we’ve never been to and would never have considered before lockdown, 😋 Going to book a trip to Loch Ness too at some point.

GoLightlyontheEarth · 15/03/2021 16:22

I feel utterly demotivated. I spend hours on the Internet because Incant concentrate on anything. Everything is an effort. I go for a walk most days and that is it.
