How do you stay motivated/achieve anything??

[skyvv90]

I have up and downs with low mood and anxiety anyway but at this point I just feel really flat and disinterested in work. When I wasn't working I was coping with lockdown/whatever this is now fine but now it feels terrible. I live alone in a city centre flat with nowhere nice to walk to nearby, no car etc. Almost all my friends and family live at least a train journey away. I'm tired of video calls. I'm constantly worried and second guessing myself at my new job, which is way more responsibility than I expected and I have a mountain of longterm work stretching for the next year or 2. The evenings and weekends are dull and seem to pass in 2 seconds and then its back to my desk again. I feel like I have no interest in anything work related because it feels like such a burden right now and there's nothing keeping me going outside of work really. Does anyone have any tips or advice for achieving stuff when you just wish it would all go away?!

I have been feeling like this recently. I know it sounds cliche but I have started doing a 30 day yoga challenge outside and I was doing it at any point in the day where you just feel sluggish and it made me feel much better. Can you open all your windows in a room and that be the garden room? Order loads of plants and set up a tablet to follow someone. I like Adrienne but am doing Yoga with Tim this time as I find his 30 day is set up much better to teach the positions.

I just had jab 2 of covid though so sitting at home feeling feverish and have given up for today.

This is making my list of things to do for the rest of the week 20 times longer so more fool me :( I feel your pain.

I try to be flexible with myself. For example I vary where I work (desk, sofa, table). I also have music, radio on. And today I even have a children's movie on for company!

Do you have any goals? I always have a bucket list of goals and majority of them I achieve. Do you do any exercise? I walk or run at least 40 minutes a day, I practice the violin same, work full time all-day, love a good Netflix series, cook from scratch and WhatsApp a few friends. Every day. That is full on. Keeps me really busy, healthy and mentally sharp and I haven't got time to be depressed. I want to pass my violin exams and I want to buy a house. So these things keep me motivated and I have an even bigger bucket list which I dream about when lockdown is over. I know this sounds really overwhelming but having a few interest goals can make a big difference.

I'm not depressed OP. That's how.
Sorry you feel down.
I would go walking for hours if I started feeling like you.
DH will hop on a bicycle for a 6 hour ride to knock himself out of a black mood.
