I know what you mean by no motivation, but I am still stuck in sadness. I go to work and keep my workout schedule, but I have no motivation to do anything once I get home.

Yes, it is very hard to get motivated to do anything. My friends told me to make a list of things I want to accomplish and post it on the fridge. It doesn't have to be anything huge, but even crossing one thing off really helps and gives one a feeling of accomplishment. We all know that this is a terrible process and we will make it through, but it is very rough.

I think maybe we are tired-dave you have reached a point where you are almost over the hurt and pain and anger-Emotional exhaustion has kicked and and now turned physical-I think that is why I am not motivated-Can you imagine what a year of emotional turmoil and extreme stress has done to our bodies?Give yourself time-PS-you two outings a week are two more than I have.

I agree with Misty; we've all been through a lot of stress and emotional pain. That takes a lot out of you, and so it makes sense that we're tired.

I find myself not doing a whole lot after work either, but I'm not sad. Most of the time I'm quite content, and really enjoying the peace and quiet and not having to worry about saying or doing the wrong thing.

I don't think that's necessarily bad. And honestly, I've always been more of a homebody, so this is kind of normal for me.

I know what you mean. I have so much I could be doing but once I get home that goes out the window. I have had to force myself to call friends and make plans or else I know I would be a permanent couch potato especially on the weekend my kids are with stbx.

I also have to force myself not to beat myself up when I do this.

maeisab - same here! Things I know I should do and I say I am going to do when I get home just don't happen.

there with you. Its one thing to sit up all night on DS for help its another thing to get yourself up and around. I have been putting off working out everytime I had a chance. I believe there will come a time when you will say enough is enough and you will get yorself to do things. It is a hard adjustment. I cant find enjoyment in anything anymore except when the kids come around. It will just happen one day, just like in Forest Gump, he got up and just started running. I think I can related to that scene. He was overcome with hurt he started on his journey and ran for miles and miles.

I sit in a stupor 95% of the time while the day flies by & house & everything else falls by the wayside ANOTHER day.....would that count as no motivation?

Sigh.....

I have no motivation, either. None. Only thing that keeps me going is my daughter. When my husband has her, I just sit. Sit, sit, sit. I numb my pain by flipping through the channels on the TV. I feel pretty pathetic. I hope it goes away soon. But I think everyone goes through this.

I've thought I have some sort of major sickness. I guess it is lack of motivation. I tell myself at work I am going to go home and cook this or that and clean or wash clothes or all kinds of things and as soon as I walk in the door I sit at the computer and do nothing! I have such guilt but on the other hand... Who cares? I have no kids cause they are all grown and nobody cares whether I do anything or not so I don't! LOL! I go to bed and think okay tomorrow I'm going to do this and this and this and then nope I don't do a thing the next day either. This is so unlike me. I used to be a fanatical housekeeper. Now I don't care! I think it is divorceitis.

It really is part of it. I am just coming out of the other end of it, I think. I really have to push myself when I am home alone. otherwise I will just sit there. My motivation tonight is that I am starting to make christmas presents and I have some to work on tonight. my mom is coming over tom and saturday night the first get together with sibs since separation. Think I'll bring my laundry as my date and do it there. haha
(actually thats not a bad idea.

Well, at the moment I do the same thing. I will probably be the same way when this is all over and done. My motivation went out the window a month ago. I am just coping right now.

Went through the same thing. Just came home, grabbed a bite to eat and turned on the TV.

I have my grown kids with me now, so I am never alone, but I know they won't be around long and I dread going back to that stage.

I agree with misty reply 3 also.

Darn roller coaster ride made me say...stop the world, I,m getting off for a while...lol.

I had to force myself to pay the bills today. And look, here I am on this website, when I should be productive!
