Quote by: Nono  Perhaps you've reached an age where you can regard yourself objectively enough to say "Hey, one week he's motivated, ambitious, creative, on the ball, energetic, etc; whereas the next week he's tired, lazy, can't think straight, lack creativity ... ". |
That makes sense... I am now mature enough to face myself and judge my own actions. NEVER would have looked at it that way. Maybe that is why sometimes I am happy with myself one week, and not the next... its because I am taking more responsibility for myself. (?)

Quote by: Maryjane Whew! I thought I was the only one going through this! I was beginning to think it was MY age (47) or I was depressed? I'm having difficulty concentrating on the written word. Not only has my participation on Volconvo slowed considerably, I don't feel like interacting socially with friends. I have no motivation, my sleep patterns are all over the place, I've even lost track of days. It's become so bad over the past two weeks, I felt the need to tell someone. (they probably think I'm nuts  , really I'm not!) |
Well you being 47 your stress levels definitely oust mine. It appears like you have had major additions to reasons FOR being stressed and depressed. It also appears like you are accepting them and overcoming them... which is amazing in itself. Sorry about your husband - and your dog's current state (I can relate to that one). This just proves that whether it is physical reasons, or mental reasons, everyone has reasons to go through stages of... (?) inner peace and happiness (?).

As far as being 19, I smoked quite a bit when I was your age. I don't recall being unmotivated. I seemed to always be doing something or going someplace. I've decided to start a project around the house to maybe kick start me back to my old self? That always seems to help. I can't wait for warmer weather so I can get back to working in my yard. Probably more information than you need but I just wanted to let you know, you are not alone.  |
Smoking GIVES me motivation. With my family history though, I try not to let any drugs takeover my life - therefore I am not high more than I am sober. This week is a good week... I bought a new truck, I have ambition to accomplish tasks, yadda yadda yadda. Looking back on the last 6 months though, next week I'll probably be the opposite. After reading your posts, Nono and Maryjane, I feel better about it now. So thanks... you've helped me more than you know.
