Feel no motivation

[YummyMummy1999xox]

Second post, but I just feel like I can't get up early in the mornings?? This results in baby getting up late even though she goes bed at 11(late but is teething) I feel no motivation in the day (isn't depression) and like I just want to lie down all the time. Don't get me wrong some days are brilliant but I just feel like I have no energy and I get fed up so easily. Feel like I'm letting little one down by It :((

Are you eating properly? Getting enough iron? Should probably see your GP.

If you're sure you're not deficient in anything (although it's best to have a blood test to check) then I do understand OP.

What is it you're struggling with? Tidying up, getting dressed, getting out, making proper food, all of what I've said?

Personally I wouldn't worry about getting up late unless it's actually affecting either of you. We used to sleep in until 10am for the first year and it was great!

I find music really helps to motivate me. As does getting out although I understand the feeling of struggling to get out all too well.

I would suggest you make small goals. How old is little one? Do you drive? Do you enjoy any groups if you've been?

And don't feel guilty. I'm sure LO is happy! And you can turn this around!

Agree with others that you should rule out some kind of deficiency with your gp if you're feeling totally wiped out every day. But if it's just motivation and you feel fine then I can sympathise. I get like this if there is no structure to my day I just want to lie around all day which is fine every now and again but I feel guilty. So I try and plan something to do every day to get me out, even if just shopping or a trip to the park. Now my eldest is at preschool that gets me up and out in the morning but before we had that structure it was often a struggle to get the motivation to do anything. I'd say make it your goal to try and get out once a day. But don't feel guilty. Soon with preschool or school run you won't have the chance to lie in anymore so make the most of it while you can!
