I have gone from depressed to manic, to not feeling anything, which as I explained to a friend, I prefer being depressed over not feeling anything, not having any motivation or inspiration to do anything.
I am not sure, how I will tomorrow or the next day, but for today, I felt like writing. So I have done.
So lovely people, what inspires you to get out and about? Give me some ideas
My partner really keeps me going in life.
I love animals a lot, so doing something with animals helps me too. When I feel ok/good, I also enjoy certain sports, nature and photography (and others things like that).
But I’m feeling well right now, so now it’s a lot easier to say those things and feel (good) stuff. But I can relate to how you’re feeling.
I hope you’ll feel something, preferably happy, soon.

I push myself to exercise everyday. It is hard at times but I think how great I will feel once I’ve dome something. My partner is a great support to me too

My anxiety makes me fear wasting time, so I use it as a motivator to get out and about. SEnding hugs and positive energy your way!

I volunteer and that keeps my anxiety at bay but I also take meds . I find doing something is a great motivator. It is hard to get going but once I have made that decision and start moving I usually make it out the door. I may not be super happy but I am not brooding or feeling suicidal or empty or like some insignificant being.

I get a bunch of ingredients and cook. And make a ruckus in the kitchen. Are you into that? Sending you some food dusts to tie you over. X.

These lovely people have great ideas already. I’ve commented on them. Getting out the house helps- even if for only an hour to do household shopping. Riveting stuff I know but I find I can hide myself away and become mute so I really need routine. I have a cleaning routine I aim to do every morning, I sometimes only mange to do it at night but the point is I set myself goals. Like exercise and reading a story to my daughter. I sometimes find forcing myself to communicate helps and blogging helps me. I get a lot of support by just telling it like it is xxxx

I understand the desire to feel depressed rather than feeling nothing at all. The lack of motivation is a bad spot for me to be as well. The fact that you were able to write a post, and helping more than you realize, is a big accomplishment.

Thank you, I normally post every day, but the last 2 weeks I just couldn’t be bothered with it. Hopefully that has now passed, but who knows

I can totally relate with you. A trip to the beach, with the wind blowing in my face helps loads! A sitting with friends or my fav cousin also helps. If all that doesn’t work, petting my dog always gets my mood up 😀
