No energy, no motivation

Hi,
Just looking for solutions to change my mind set if anyone has been in a similar situ.

For over a year now I've had very little enery and no motivation.
My home is clean but v.disorganised I feel.
Every day tasks I was able to easily keep on top of at home, now feel almost impossible to make the effort.

I have to really force myself!!

I eat well but don't exercise , I go to bed late and am up early,I am overweight and I'm perimenpausal.
These elements I have started working on, as that is down to me to change.

Ive booked in with GP for blood testing to rule anything medical- should've done this a long time ago!.

I think there is low mood too and I do believe, I have traits of ADHD- Im not tested though and the traits materialises as; Inability to complete tasks, distraction, hard to decision make, unable to deal with any stress( Me and family have been really put through some medical issues the last 6 months inc hospital appts/A&E visits & an emergency surgery I had ,it all seemed relentless at the time(All ok now!) And a few big family worries-1 of which is ongoing.

Any good self help books/podcasts ect recommended just as a start point to get out this rutt?

Thanks

You may well have an underactive thyroid which can be found by a blood tests. If that is the case then hopefully taking a daily thyroxine pill prescribed by the doctor will make a big difference.
