No motivation?

Question

Do you also feel like staying at home all day and not leaving the couch? I’m wondering if this is normal or if I’m getting depressed? I just feel tired and sick all the time...should I fight back or should I stay on the couch all day when I can?

Answer

I'm in the same boat! I have been giving in to the couch and taking it easy on myself most of the time, but I have forced myself to visit with a couple close friends just to talk and vent. That made me feel less alone and so much better. But, it's hard not to feel a little depressed. My biggest mental motivator is reminding myself constantly that it will pass, even though in the moment it feels like a freakin eternity. My best advice is to be kind to yourself, and trust that your body knows what it needs. If it wants the couch, give it the couch! 😉❤️ Hugs to you!

Answer

I do both. When I’m tired, I try not to fight it.  Proud to have taken a 2 hour nap this afternoon and hit the gym with a friend this morning.
Also vacuumed the whole house, groomed the dogs outside, did laundry, made dinner.  I was basically super woman today imo 🤣
And ready to go to bed at 9pm lol.

Answer

This is totally me. But mainly because if I push myself too hard, it takes me so long to recover. So I try to take it easy on my days off and try not to beat myself up too bad. My husband is very understanding and he knows I do what I can!
