Lack of Motivation
| Sat, 09-06-2003 - 5:01pm |
Been awhile since I have been on these boards, but I wanted to check in and read some of the posts that I have missed. I have been single pretty much since March and have had this total lack of motivation since then. I am 27 years old and sit home every night and every weekend lounging on the couch and being a total bum.. There are things that I would like to do, but cant get the energy to do them. I don't know if its because i dont have "anyone" to do them with or if the problem lies deeper. I was with my ex for 2 years and since we have broken up i have been a recluse.. I think its normal for a little bit, but I dont know..
I want to get out there and meet people but when I do go out I have no fun and all I want to do is get back home.. Its like a "frightening" experience for me or something.. I dont know..
Any advice or similar expereinces?
Thanks
Amy

Sometimes it takes more time than you realize to find "your way back." I just divorced on May 30, and I STILL feel like a truck hit me. I've not "re-socialized" yet--not just b/c I don't feel like it, or b/c I just bought a house and I'm still settling in, but I'm still awaiting surgery for both knees. The first is in Dec, and I'm really looking forward to it. The second will be early in the New Year, and once I'm totally healed, then I can think about a social life again.
Sometimes I think it was almost providential that I was injured the way I was; it gave me another focus besides my dumb broken heart. But time really does heal; maybe you need to give yourself that time as well.
