Anyone else struggling with lack of motivation? I’ve just lost interest in doing anything other than the bare minimum to get by it seems. I used to be able to push myself through any feelings like this and now I just seem stuck in a ‘really can’t be bothered’ frame of mind. It doesn’t feel black and dark like depression but very flat. It’s like I’m disconnected from everything that makes life tick. I’m on HRT so the main menopausal physical symptoms are being managed largely. I just can’t seem to
push through this complete lack of motivation for life. Anyone have any thoughts or tips please on this? Thanks.

I used to go on holiday 3 or 4 times a year, now I can’t be bothered and have nothing booked for this summer. In fact I actually dread DH mentioning it.
I used to go out on my days off, for a coffee and a mooch around the shops, I don’t go to the shops any more . I get clothes delivered.
I had tickets for a gig recently, I was really excited when I booked them last year. I recently realised I couldn’t be arsed going so I sold them, and on the night it happened I smiled to myself when I got in bed and decided I’d made the right choice as I’d rather be in bed.
I really don’t know what has happened to me.
