No motivation

I have developed a desire to do nothing but watch TV and sit around. I have 3 classes this quarter that's starting this week and I have a part time job that I don't want to go to anymore.

I don't feel depressed or like there is anything a med change would help with.

What do I do?

I hate that No Motivation feeling .

Blunted and flat feeling ..yucky !

What I do, and sometimes it works...I do a little walk..I do a little house work..I just kinda push myself a bit, and sometimes that's enough to rev my engines a bit

Thanks for your responses tommy and dd. I sat down and did some of my homework and feel a sense of accomplishment. Your suggestions helped. I will continue to just put one foot in front of the other until I get rid of this.

Can so relate to the feeling! It's more a mixed state thing with me I have the energy but in my head I'm just wondering what the purpose of all this is? Acting as if at least gets you out of your head if not out of the house....

Can I join the club?

I have no motivation either. Other than to sleep and occasionally get up to do some hobbies. Other wise it's bed for me.

    You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
