Lack of Self-Motivation or Inspiration in Life

[shieldmaidenofRohan]

Ako din sis I can relate paminsan may episodes ako ng depression but recently I watched this movie, Rise of the Guardians, I realized something. We are so busy growing up, we let the child inside of us die. Masyado tayong maraming worries as adults and that slowly kills us. Have pure, unadulterated fun like how kids do it.

One thing more, when I'm down, I just surf the net and look at baby animals. Pet-freak kasi ako. try mo sa cuteoverload.com. And I get a chance to be a nerdy nerd kid that I was sa FB page na I f*cking love science. LOL

I think I am depressed talaga. I can't process my thoughts lately and parati akong lutang. I don't smile and parang galit ako sa mundo. Nakakatrauma kasi ginawa ng ex ko sa akin and may problem pa son ko ngayon and not to mention may mga nang-gugulo pa sa text.

That happened to me sometimes either, sis.
I had a lot of things to do and I feel like I really desire to do all.
But I can't accomplish. Before accomplish those, I feel like I've no power to move.
In my case, I stopped doing anything. I was just lazy at home, watching TV, surfing websites, and keep eating snacks and sweets.
And one day, I feel like so irritating about myself. Like, why I spend all the time like this?
I hated my fat body even I didn't care anything so far. That was funny but suddenly this happened.
Then I could change. I started exercise, got new job, and bought all nice cloths.
So I felt that lazy time was like a charging period for my life.
That time was not just for wasting but to move forward.
So don't be so sensitive. If you don't want to do anything, just take a rest for a while.

mukhang ito ang mood ko for today, napaka helpless ng feeling ko ngayon haaay [textspeak!] ba to

[ladyfoxy]

I experienced this last year. Non stop crying for a month, everyday as in pinipigilan ko nalang talaga umiyak kasi kusa talaga akong naiiyak, then I lose a lot of confidence, and sobrang depressed ko. It even reached to the point na naisip ko talaga suicide. I don't have any motivation left to continue what I'm doing. Kaya I started praying, then I read this blog: marcandangel.com sobrang laki ng naitulong nito sa akin. Kasi I was looking for something to read that will make me realize that it is still good to live.

Try it mga sis.

eto mood ko rin the past week.. parang restless, pagod and kulang sa motivation talaga pakiramdam ko. i get annoyed easily too. the weather's not helping pa, sa sobrang init eh nakakainit lalo ng ulo and parang mas tinatamad ako.

i just pray na my mood will improve na. ayoko ng ganito.

When I read the posts na paluha talaga ako coz I exactly expreriencing it right now .  I feel depressed,restless and alone.  I'm in my late 30's althought I got a good paying job but I'm still single & no bf and most of close friends are busy with their own lives.  I want to break free, to do something about my life but i don't know how.  i don't even know what I want in life or where to start.

Recently the guy that I was dating nag disappearing act, obviously he is no longer interested to see me and  I really feel so down.  I'm trying so hard to distract myself, not to feel self pity and trying to pretend that I'm fine.   But just like what sis Gurlash says, yung feeling na lulubog lilitaw, today I would be ok, tommorrow I would feel down.  Sometime nakaka pagod na on keep reminding myself to move on and life will be ok even thought i see a blank wall ahead of me  .

If you don't know what to do and you're lost, most of the time it just means that you are too much speeding on your journey called life... You just need to slow down and see the scenery at the side of the road, IMO.

Nung college pa kasi ako, I had a really nice boyfriend and sya yung naging inspiration ko to get high grades. Kaso he left me for another person, so ayun, I really got depressed for years and I think I had nothing and nowehere to go. Naranasan ko rin yang feeling -- lulubog, lilitaw.

Muntik ko nang di maipasa ang thesis at OJT ko. Bumagsak ako sa unang take ko ng ECE board exams and had a VERY hard time looking for a job, 1 year and 6 months ako naging bum (from graduation, first take and second take) -- imagine nyo na lang how long I wasted my time being really sad and depressed. I really felt like I wanted the time to stop and go back to the way it was before. Nothing satisfied me, kahit lumabas ako with my friends, or even going to the beach, or the parlor, or mag-badminton, or whatever. There came one time na naging toxic ang pagiging religious ko -- nagsimba ako sa Quiapo, sa St. Jude, sa Baclaran, sa EDSA Shrine, sa simbahan sa may USTE, sa Monastery of St. Claire, etc. Minsan rin sinisi ko si Lord for all of these bad things I experienced.

It made me realize that all of these hurt made me feel that I should be thankful for the better things that happened to me recently. It made me realize that rushing things will only get me to nothing. Nung na-employ ako, naging masaya ang bonding ko with my workmates, I had all of these opportunities like going abroad, etc. Minsan nawawalan ako ng inspiration or motivation to go on, or even know my purpose of going on, but at least I know to myself that I am trying to be happy. Minsan napapagalitan ako for being a lazy person, pero who cares na di ba? At least I am not skipping my chances to become happy.

Wala lang, just sharing.

sometimes nakaka experience din ako  bout in my mood , feeling ko i'm so lonely, helpless, parang wala akong patner in life ,nawawala ang confidence sa sarili,  depressed ,minsan naiyak na lang ako in front of my pc while kausap ko ang mil ko, because of my hubby ,nagsusumbong ako,  napaka insensitive kasi n'ya , parang feeling ko he never treated us special sa buhay n'ya , what i'm saying sa relationship namin parang iba na siya.. never priority  , LDR problem here.. i pray kay lord sana kaya kong lampasan ito.. hirap i let go at mag move-on. sana kaya ko .

One more thing to add, we really have to be consistent on making effort in each and every task we do. Kasi ako ngayon parang palitaw, lulubog and lilitaw. One season okay nako then another season iba na naman ako. Mahirap and nakakapagod but at the back of our minds, we know that we have to. Big thanks to all the sisters who keep on supporting us. Hope we have face to face gathering noh, para mas effective.

I just read this now and I couldn't help but react because I've also felt this way before... I hope everyone who felt this way before feels better now and those who are currently experiencing it, can find peace and contentment in their lives. Know that you are never alone... You have family and friends you can always ask for help and advice on anything.

always always always focus on your blessings. pag narealize nyo how blessed you are, you'll see yourself in a different light. ako when i'm feeling down, i always remember those people in the hospital who are either watching over their sick loved ones or they're the ones who are sick. tapos i feel guilty for feeling so down when in fact i'm healthy and able to do what i want. tapos after that realization, i feel motivated na to do better. kaya mga sis, just count your blessings. look around you and you'll know how blessed you are.

[pinklilac]

'' @trendy agree ako sayo..

This is me now. I have  a stagnant career yung okay na kasi it pays the bills no growth can be seen so far I'm highly doubting my capacity right now feeling ko hindi ako mahihire ng ibang company pag umalis ako dito. I have friends dito sa office then friends during HS and college. I don't go out so often too, tinatamad kasi ako. One thing I have is happy family,may makulet na nephew is the only one na talagang nakakapag pasaya sakin.

I always feel empty, unmotivated buti na lang may girltalk where I can vent out what I'm feeling na walang nakakakilala sakin personally.

[rachelakito]

I agree that you should focus on your blessings, like your family.  Sometimes, the challenges are very frustrating. but we have no choice but to keep going...that is why it is important that we like what we are doing so the possibilities of burnout is lesser

Hay so comforted to find this thread. Nafifeel ko yan ngayon although I'm trying naman everyday to combat the feeling.

I think nagstart ito sa work ko, where I'm not gaining enough work experience and baka maapektuhan din promotion/increase ko. Very little ang pay sa'min and I can't go because of employment bond. Ayun after months of lulubog-lilitaw anxiety ngayon I feel numbness. Madalas wala akong ginagawa sa office kasi walang task, and I know I should make use of my time productively like study other technologies or hanap part-time job kaso now wala rin ako energy or motivation.

Before, I do meditation and it helps naman talaga kaso now wala din akong energy to do it. I want to fix my situation sana. Medyo gloomy thoughts na rin madalas naiisip ko ngayon.

I started planning travels but after a while the work situation got to me pa din. Besides mahirap mag-abang sa isang date e kasi anong gagawin ko in-between, puro anticipation and nothing much. Also super budgeted because of small salary nga.

I am positive naman that this will pass. Sana maassign ako to a productive project or somehow e ilet go ako ng company (hahaha good luck) and I can start over.

[mamy_maldy]

Parehas tayo feeling. I am  not motivated to work at all.  Pero sa bahay masaya ako kasi kasama ko family ko. Pero dito sa work, I feel that I am not performing at  my best kasi stagnant na ang career ko dito. Mag 8 years na ako dito ganito pa rin. The pay is above average, ganda benefits and daming incentives and bonuses.

Totoo nga, na money can't buy you happiness. Laki nga compensation, di naman ako masaya. Hayyy.

[kaiz]

feel this way right now. go transferred to another department na wala akong alam. political reason.

when i feel depressed gusto ko mag isa lang. mukmuk sa kwarto hanggang sa lumipas ang araw, madalas tulog para hindi makapagisip ng kung ano ano. pero hindi pala healthy yun at hinding hindi nakakatulong.. hanggang sa nadiscover ko na para pala ma overcome ko yung depression ko kailangan ko pala ng ibang tao na makakakwentuhan. at ang prefer ko yung mga matatanda sa akin, exchange ng mga kwento ng buhay buhay, mga pinagdaanan and i realized na yung mga kwento nila yun exactly ang pinagdadaanan ko ngayon and look at them napagtagumpayan nila yun. yon ang naging inspiration ko at nakapag motivate sakin na maging positve at mag look forward, na kahit anong hirap pala ng mga pinagdadaanan natin lagi natin iisipin na may mas mahirap pa ang kanilang pinagdadaanan kesa sayo. nakapagpalakas talaga sakin makipagkwentuhan sa mga nakakatanda sakin. another thing i learned from them, if you feel depress sa kahit anong bagay never compare your self dun sa mga taong mas nakakaangat sayo kasi mas lalo ka lang makakaramdam ng pagka depress but compare yourself dun sa mga taong mas mababa sayo para maramdaman mo na sa sitwasyon mo nakakaangat ka pa rin sa iba kaya walang dahilan para madepress ka.
