Anyone else feeling apathetic and 'can't be arsed'?

[FannyFernackerpan]

When all this started, I was exercising at home, going for a long daily walk or bike ride, enthusiastically home cooking lovely lunches and dinners, gardening, doing long neglected jobs that needed doing, and my house had never been so clean with all the bleaching and wiping down and washing I was doing.

Today I have done absolutely sweet Felicity Arkright! Nothing! Just lolloped around, woke at 10 and got a cup of tea and then went back to bed, reading shit on my iPad. I mooched about a bit, eventually got in the shower at 4pm, got dressed and have just set my first foot in the garden at nearly 7pm.

I haven't even made so much as a slice of toast. I had a banana for breakfast and five of those mini quorn cocktail sausages out of the packet for lunch.

This isn't like me but I just feel so lethargic, apathetic, can't be bothered with anything. I can't even watch anything because my attention wanders. Most of the time it's just lolling, daydreaming or reading something online. I do an occasional crossword or codeword but I haven't even done that today.

It's still lovely and I could go for a bike round round the park or even just potter about in the garden for a bit but I honestly can't be arsed.

Anyone else feeling like this and did you snap out of it?

Oh God, yes!,
I can’t sleep at night anymore, and can’t be arsed to do anything much in the day... yet I’m worn out 🤷‍♀️
All us ladies from work finished on 20th March, we haven’t seen each other since then , but we’re all bored to tears!
Ooh! the plans we all had... decorating, allotments, gardening, sorting out this, that and the other....
We have apparently all done... zilch!!🤭

The Ddog is damn lazy and has become a “Velcro” dog since lockdown... I can’t shower, bath, or go for a pee on my own... and she now not only sleeps on the bed, but is favouring wriggling up to the pillow during the night... all 6 hairy stone of her 😳

Is it lockdown fatigue? Normally whenever you get time off work, you manage to do something productive.... The only thing guaranteed is that we are drinking too much tea and dipping too many biscuits😩 I am usually an avid reader and ordered several books at the start of lockdown - but I can’t seem to settle to any of them, likewise the tv... can’t concentrate on anything decent, but my God! I can waste hours watching American shite!

Perhaps it’s our collective punishment for moaning about work.... We’ve all agreed we can’t wait to get back there ( hospitality, so could be a fair while...) and some of us drive past there... to check it’s still there...

And I can’t be arsed to cook proper meals😒I’m eating like an old lady... soup, boiled eggs, and too much toast😁

The mad dog woman, with soup down her front, watching “Toddlers and Tiaras”. Thanks, Covid 19👍 Love you too!

I get days where I just stare at the news for 12 hours - we're all rudderless as a nation, doing the right thing by not going out but it's just so unnatural

I do the whole 'getting up in the morning' thing. Mainly because my grown up son, still living at home, works for ... well, let's just say, the public sector. He needs to be at his desk (in our lounge) for 9am.

I'm the one who sets the alarm and gets him up, I do make breakfast, I do make a cup of tea .. but it all goes pear shaped after that.

He's at his desk in terms of presence (how much he's 'there' in terms of work and alertness I'm not quite sure), but I hear him on conference calls and all that, so he's going through the motions.

Meanwhile I've returned to bed with my tea, and iPad reading shite, staring at the walls, and thinking about all the things I might/could do ..

Yes, I can feel apathy setting in. I find it hard to get motivated to cook, clean, walk...anything is a big effort.
I was never really like this !
The laundry basket is over flowing....I'm not sure why I'm not keeping on top of that !
It's crazy. I've never had so much time to do things and I'm doing nothing!
I really need to get motivated and snap out of this rut I'm in .

Wfh full time so that's ok but otherwise everything is so hard. Cannot find any motivation for cleaning etc. Totally fed up

I think a big part of it as well is that nothing seems ‘urgent’...we would normally be thinking oh we we should get such and such done before we go away/have so and so to stay etc...we done some of our list of stuff that needs doing around the house but the enthusiasm for that comes and goes. We are both WFH and while grateful for it Monday is a struggle as we don’t feel like the weekend happened...
