Status: offline 		I really should take the time to do my nails today.
But I'm not motivated.
I should go to the grocery store to buy carrots for the roast I planned to make for dinner tonight.
But I'm not motivated.
I should pull the list of folks out and start making follow up calls for work.
But I'm not motivated.
I should go outside and pull weeds and then clean the pool (it's not too dirty thank goodness)
But I'm not motivated.
I should drive over to the shop and drop the truck off for an oil change and find out why it gave me shit starting this morning.
But I'm not motivated.
I should take my ass into the kitchen and get that roast started before it's too late to make it for dinner tonight.
But I'm not motivated.

There is a list about a mile long of things I *should* be doing right now, but all I want to do is go crawl back into my bed under my warm blankets and slip off into dreamy bliss until the end of next week. I feel overwhelmed and stressed out and like the list is too long I'll never get any of it done even if I take on one task at a time because once I get to the middle of something, then something else is going to come along and add to the list.
I'm tired, I haven't slept right in..well...forever. It's spring break for my kid this week. Mr has been having a lot of rough days at work because the folks He is in charge of are window lickers, so He is tired and frustrated too.
I don't even want to waste time watching T.V. because I just *KNOW* some stupid commercial is going to come on and make me cry...probably about diapers or something that has NOTHING to do with my life any more.

*sigh*
well...fuck.

I'm right there with you. I've been in major need of a vacation and looks like I may get one in a few months. I finally have some help at work to take a little load so maybe I won't feel so guilty taking days off. I think it's a sign we do need a break, even if it is hiding under the blankets and sleeping for a week.

I used to get super tired and really emotional when I was pmsing.. just sayin' ..those push-yer-buttons sappy tv ads (oddly enough it was usually the Later Day Saint ads) would make me cry, like you say, for no reason! I am not a cry baby.. but when that would happen i would check the calender and bingo! lol then at least i would feel a lil better cuz i figured out why i wasnt myself.. then I would give myself permission to have a good nap (without the guilt).. dam hormones!

Status: offline 		Not pmsing atm, in fact just finished ovulating like 2 or 3 days ago. Yes my body is obnoxious enough to let me know when that's happening, nothing like cramps on one side in the middle of the month *yay* because you know, period cramps aren't enough right?

I did get 2 things accomplished today. Well, 1 and 1/2. I got the roast going and I did one hand of my nails. Everything else can just suck it today.

I'm still tired, but don't feel as down as I did.
We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Luci

Status: offline 		I feel like this every single day of my life.

It could be you are going through a bout of depression and just need some time to decompress. It could be you haven't had enough sleep lately and you just need a good night's rest.

If it continues to go on though you may want to talk to your doctor to find out what's going on. It could be an illness, it could be stress, it could be depression or anxiety or some other mental issue.

For me it's part of my depression that I live with every day. My meds don't always work and I either have to find a way to force myself out of bed or just decide it's not worth getting out of bed today. Thankfully I have Master now who forces me to get out of bed and get things done which is really a blessing.

Status: offline 		hormones can be a problem other times too, many slowly decrease as you get older.. but for me the weepy teary deary thing would be a sign that i was about to get my period.. I need to get my levels tested tho and I have been procrastinating on that.. I know some are off cuz I get really tired much more than ever before.. and I really hate that feeling.. so I can relate to you not being motivated.. lol

Status: offline 		Sounds like you're depressed.

I say push through it. Go outside, or stay in and open the windows and blast cheerful music. Read a trashy romance novel. Call a friend up for a drink or some gossip. Watch a cheesy comedy...anything to chase those blues away.

Hope you feel better tomorrow!

Status: offline 		absolutchocolat,
I think you mean to be describing the blues. If this is happening to you today, it may be the blues, and any of absolutchocolat's suggestions should help. If this is ongoing, it may be depression, a medical condition. In that case, any of the suggestions may sometimes aliviate the symptoms a little and are worth doing, but medical help will be needed. I got the feeling yoou just felt like this today. An infuse of Vitamin D, in the sunshine, will do wonders. On the other hand, giving yourself permission to stay in bed for one day can sometimes help with the stress, just ask permission to lie in bed and read all day, you'll feel better tommorrow, I hope

Status: offline 		My vote is get thee to the GYN & find out if you have PCOS. Mood swings, depression with cycle, painful ovulation all sound like yes. Good news is its treatable with gluten free diet, some adrenal supplimentation & thyroid if, like me, you let it go so long your hormones & fertility are now COMPLETELY fucked!

Quoted because I totally agree with this.

Also, medically, the tiredness and depression-like feelings could be caused by abnormal thyroid levels or low iron levels. My sister had both those problem that didn't show with a regular blood test, she needed a MRI before the thyroid problem was found. She's well and fully functional now. Back to her previous type-A personality.

So, yeah, if the motivational problems persist, see a doctor. Get a complete work up: blood draws, MRI, the works. If everything comes back normal request a psychological evaluation.

Status: offline 		I feellike this due to depression lso, and my mom battled with what we later found were thyroid issues that caused a lot of mood swings. If it persists, definitely see someone about it. My mom's thyroid troubles were discovered accidentally but ince they were dealt with, the difference was amazing.

With the depression stuff it can be hard to feel motivation to do anything. Sometimes getting out of bed is difficult. I'm very sorry you're feeling this way, OP...

Status: offline 		I do in fact have PCOS.
My problem is likely hormone induced depression. Because I get like this rather frequently. Some days it's just harder to get through it than others...like today.
I have some other stuff in my life that's completely stressing me out as well which makes getting out of bed even more difficult.
This too shall pass, just like it has for years.
If I could overcome this insomnia shit the depression wouldn't be such a weight I'm sure.
And when I say insomnia, what I really mean is, if I could figure out what the fuck it is that wakes me up every 2 1/2 hours and actually get a real good nights rest instead of feeling like a zombie every single day, that would be a great start. It's not just 1 thing either. Sometimes I just wakke up, other times it's something like a noise outside, or my husband snoring too loudly, or I have to get up and pee, or my roomates made some stupid ass noise, or I've had a bad dream...the list of things that wake me is endless and it's frustrating as all hell...especially the nights that I just wake up for no good reason.
BTW, I refuse to take the metformin, it makes me really sick, I'm 42 and done having kids so I don't particularly give a shit about treating the PCOS any more. I went through the fertility treatments to have shorty (took 8 years for him to finally show up but it was worth the wait) Even on the drugs, the hair doesn't stop growing on my chin or thinning on my head, and even after surgery I am still having problems with extra padding around my waistline even though I eat right and am exercizing 4 days a week. For some reason my cycles have come back like clockwork though...no treatment, they just came back on their own, no idea why...they could have stayed the hell gone. So, IMO, taking the drugs to treat the PCOS isn't worth what they make me feel like for them to not really do anything.

This isn't the blues though, it's a regular thing. I'm tired of it. I don't want meds. I just needed a place to be able to express my grumpiness without dishing it out on Mr again like usual I guess. He hears it enough as it is. His extra task for me today was to take a nap.

Oh, and if the weather would improve and warm the hell up (I'm in Florida, 45 degrees is NOT acceptable!) I could go sit out by the pool in the fresh air...yes, that really does help.

Status: offline 		Luci, you have described alot of how i used to be. the solution was a hysterectomy when i was 34. i had no life at all before that. i still get down at times, and all the rest of it. it's no where near as bad as it was though. i also suffer in the winter through not having the sun too.

i really do hope you feel better soon Luci!

as always my inbox, or email is always open for you to rant away in.

Status: offline 		Luci my GYN after long discussion about PCOS & research is actually the one that pointed out the gluten connection. Celiac ruins your gut, properly processing food gets jacked which causes stubborn weight or extreme/sudden loss, depression, mood swings, and and and. Since going gluten free, supplimenting thyroid with something called raw thyroid (non prescription as I hate metformin side effects too) & healing my gut with the help of a functional medicine doc I'm back to feeling "normal" not depressed under stress, stubborn weight is falling off & I don't get so drawn into other peoples drama.

May be worth a look especially if you have a known issue whose side effects include other auto-immune disorders. Study soon to be released is expected to show conclusively the connection between celiac & infirtility that doctors due to profit in IVF haven't ever looked at. If I'm remembering right 80 or 85% of infertile women tested turned out to be celiac or have some level of gluten intolerence that when resolved resulted in almost immediate pregnancy (blurb didn't say by what method, peer review study size,etc)
