Sometimes I just wake up lacking motivation. I feel so drained with energy and would rather just sleep.  I find it hardest to cope during the week day because my life is constantly on the go. I tell myself to just take one day at a time and the weekend is here before you know it.

I can relate, it can be very hard for me to want to do anything but stay in bed and pet my dog. May God bless your day.

Medication has made a difference in my life. I am taking Wellbutrin 150mg daily and it does make a difference in my mood.

I find it hard at the weekend , since I stay at bed all day and if I left it happens with a great effort , what I do to battle this is excersising. Its pretty energising, hard to start doing but once done I feel better.
I prefer working days since I'm forced to leave my bed every morning and go out.

I know that sometimes it can be hard to stay focused on the activities that one needs to stay focused on. I know how hard it can be not having the energy to keep up with all of the activities that one needs to stay focused on. Have you tried talking with someone to find out what some of the problems that might be causing you to lack motivation? Perhaps you could also try seeing a doctor to see if there is anything physically wrong that maybe causing you to lack energy. Don't let this keep you down to much.

Thank you for your support, no I haven't talked to a professional about this. I'm afraid of what the result will be. I'm getting older and planning to have kids some day so I plan to see someone for this in the near future because in order to be the best that I can be I know I have to this under wraps.

Depression can cause lack of motivation, lack of energy and all the things you described. You should see a professional to get a proper diagnoses. You may need medication and/or talk therapy.
Good luck.
