I have no motivation for anything

[NoMotivationinJanuary]

I suffer with depression and anxiety anyway, and I know its January and no-one has any motivation.

I’ve been ill over Christmas/NY – as in bedbound for 3 days, not leaving the house for 8 days and during the days after the bedbound days still needing to nap for 3-4 hours kind of ill – which is not helping as I’m still recovering.

But I’m a single parent, so if I don’t do it, it won’t get done.

So much to do, so many deadlines and no motivation to do it.

Anyone else?

I’m with you: feels like a totally wasted school holiday. The weather has been rubbish, money is super tight, the Christmas lights died on my tree in Christmas Eve! My term time life is so busy…. Full time teacher, side hustle, husband who works away and one of two children who plays sport at a high level so I travel across the country four times a week for training and matches. When I have spells off work tho I think o struggle with the lack of structure and it just makes me feel rubbish. I’m almost glad to be back to the chaos on Monday!
