Always feeling down and unmotivated.

[Tiff25]

There are quite a few issues that I'm dealing with but the one that bothers me the most is how I have no ambition or motivation to do anything. I try to tell myself to get up and get something done and I feel good about it but then when it's time to get up and do it, I still just sit there. There are a lot of things I need to get done in a day but I just can't get myself to do them and they are simple things like housework, hygiene, etc.. I don't enjoy the things I used to do anymore either. I always liked being on the computer and talking with my friends and just browsing the net but I just don't do that anymore. I forced myself pretty hard just to find this website to seek some advice on how to make my days better and more productive. I feel down because of me not being motivated. I'm happy with myself when I get a lot accomplished in a day but I find that very hard to do and it doesn't happen very often. I'm not depressed or anything, just a pretty low mood and ashamed of myself. I've been told that it's just pure laziness but I don't actually know because I do suffer from depression from time to time and anxiety almost every day. I hate how I can't keep up to my house cleaning and everything else. It is such a struggle. Is it really just pure laziness or is it depression and anxiety? Please help! I hate feeling this way. I will greatly appreciate everyone who reads and answers this topic. All I want is a normal and happy life.

I'm having anxiety right now but on the plus side, I am feeling good about myself. I set a goal for myself and that is to no longer smoke in the house. I have only had one cigarette since I woke up and it was outside. I know that if I keep to this goal, it will always make me feel good. After I have this one well under way, I will set a second goal for myself and keep on going. I'm determined to make myself feel better and get through all of this negativity and negative feelings.
