To have lost all motivation for anything

[Pleidiolwyfimgwlad]

Is the endlessness of lockdown getting to anyone else? I seem to have lost all motivation for tidying the house, cooking, homeschooling, my job - all of it.

Me & the kids walk every day but that’s about it - it’s the relentlessness of it all that’s really getting to me I think. I just want to sit about eating toast & sleeping- I’d take to my bed if I didn’t have kids to look after.

I have quite a big job at a uni too and even the thought of it makes me feel depressed. It’s awful- I am fed up of my colleagues and they are lovely people so I feel bad.

Aibu to have just lost all mojo? I don’t think I am depressed- just OVER it all- I don’t even know what I need at the moment!

Managed to go for a long walk yesterday but can't even get out of bed today. Why bother? It's just more of the same. Can't " fake jolliness" any more

I just stood miserably by the fridge, cleaning off the dirty fingermarks yet again, and said 'another bloody day'. Nothing to do, nobody to see apart from DH up and down the stairs all day, making endless cups of tea and coffee. I'd love the house to myself for JUST ONE DAY. And I've woken up with a sore throat this morning, imagining the worst, but haven't been near anyone for several weeks so cannot be IT (I hope)!

I'm going to Waitrose today after taking a walk around our shut outdoor shopping mall, I may pop into Holland and Barrett and I need to return something to Next. This is my weekly excitement now, I will put on some proper clothes for this outing

I’m going to a post box. I may choose the second nearest. Then home. Sigh.

Even my dog has given up any enthusiasm for a walk 😃

I had to take my dd to the orthodontist this morning! Most exciting trip in ages!

I keep buying stuff online so i can have deliveries! Cyberjammies today (sale )

Bad day today. However put on make up for the first time in months. I then proceeded to listen to a few moments of a CD released by nuns in Arundel (they were on This Morning this week apparently). I’ve had a few tears but strangely feel a lot less hopeless about this whole tragic situation! So I’m off out for yet another walk and coffee alone in the rain.

Is anyone feeling anxious? I thought I was fine until today when my mum pointed out that I look anxious

I'm actually wondering if I'll ever see my family again. I'm starting to think that I never will. Heartbreaking.

I'm pretty sure by Easter we can meet up with some family or at least summer time.

Tearful day today. Very, very tearful. I am alone in lockdown and while I haven’t been alone for the whole thing, and I’m normally very self sufficient, it is getting to me. Badly. I don’t sleep.

Sending you all a silent supportive handhold through the ether.

@SophocIestheFox sending a virtual hug!
It’s ironic the way it’s playing out - those of us surrounded by people are craving alone time, and those who are alone craving company. 😔

It’s crap all round, tiger. Hug back atcha.

YANBU . It is like groundhog day and I am fed up of it too. I know why we are having to do it but does not make it better. Doesn't help that the weather is rubbish and I can't go outside my town to walk so I am cheesed off with doing the same walk day after day.

My piano is helping but I could lose hours playing it and ignoring everyone/everything 😳 which isn’t necessarily a good thing when there’s loads of other stuff I should be doing

I was going to write a massively motivating missive that extolled the virtues of self improvement in lockdown but then I started watching This Morning and then had a glass of wine and then another and then decided I couldn't be arsed and then lksdfnbvwd;fojnv

Ohh love and hugs straight to you ❤️

Hugs to everyone. I have given up today; the rain is the last straw. I am doing the bare minimum - ignoring the hoovering-and watching Strictly Come Dancing on Britbox for the rest of the day.

Almost had a bit of a cry this morning. I was sleeping downstairs with 3yo (DH not well) and despite waking up early I just couldn’t get up. Couldn’t find the motivation to wake her up let alone take her to nursery (she can be very grumpy about getting up and dressed). Didn’t wake up DS to get on with his work either, he’s only just started so I don’t think we will get all stuff done today.

I did phone nursery and was honest but I feel really useless not being able to manage it.

Most productive thing done so far today has been standing on a chair with a torch trying to work out where the awful constant drip from the rain is on my ceiling and whether anything is coming through.
I had to do this because it was interrupting my scrolling and surfing.
What a life eh.
Support all.

Thank you, fembot

Today isn’t quite so bad. I don’t feel quite as bleak. I went out for a long walk in the hosing rain and felt a little bit alive, which helped.

I feel the same. Frontline healthcare worker here. Work is just miserable. Home life is depressing. There probably is fun or productive stuff I could do with the kids on my days off but I just can't be bothered anymore. We're all just endlessly watching TV / playing on tablets.

Same here. I am well and truly fed up. I dont even get ready anymore because its pointless. I'm just in my pj's or jogging bottoms.
I dont even get ready to walk the dogs.

I see my dad every now and then when he drops something off or picks something up. Its a 30 second pass over at the door.
We talk on the phone, but he just wants to talk about food. Which i engage in, but it does not fill my social bar at all.

The kids aren't interested in a walk, they're quite happy having voice calls with their friends. Though they would rather be out playing with them.

My housework has took a huge nosedive. I dont even feel guilt or shame about it. Im so far gone in fed upness to be bothered enough to care lol.

Its lack of routine, I think. Only I have no motivation to try and recreate one.
