Venting getting motivated is so hard

[sickgirlzis]

getting motivated to do literally anything is so hard for me. even small tasks like getting out of bed. currently I should be having a bath, I haven't showered in about 5 days, and i even have a really nice bath bomb to use. but I just can't bring myself to get up. i feel so useless right now

Executive functioning is a bitch. Some people innately have the ability and the rest of us are screwed. You're not alone.

One month to make it a habit, and six months to make it pathological behaviour. Not so easy.

a few months ago i just didnt have strenght to do things. Now i am repulsive to those same things. Whats the point? I am just extending my suffering in this earth but suffering even more

I understand this, I haven't showered in days either and it's really hard to push myself to do it. I'm not very good with advice but maybe it helps if you have something interesting or fun planned after? So that that kind of feels like a reward? Just throwing things out there.

I think I'm gonna go have my bath and then just play some games after. only way to do things is to force yourself to do things, I've learned.

I feel similarly, but I've found that once you do one task, it's often easier to do another.

for anyone who is still looking here I ended up having the bath, it was nice :) sometimes you just gotta get stuff over with, you might enjoy it
