Low motivation
Posted , 4 users are following.
So after been ill for a couple of months with vision issues. I knew I needed to make a start with Xmas prep.
Made myself go out and buy presents I couldn't get online the last 2 days.
Today's plan was to blitz the house and try to get sorted.
Had even managed to get the youngest to agree to help.
However, woke up today feeling totally drained and no motivation at all.
Have spent all day on the sofa, scrolling online, watching rubbish TV and drinking countless cuppas. Just want to slob and eat rubbish food.
I hate how days end up like this.
Feeling yucky and sure I'm mid cycle too.
Anyone else get days like this?

yes! This was me yesterday. I was so fatigued i barely got off couch. Really low mood and just told myself I will have better days. It is depressing because you just want to be "you" again that can actually plan to function on a daily basis. I then start to worry (enter health anxiety) that something sinister is wrong. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that menopause is THIS absolutely destructive. Give yourself the day you need to rest and know you're doing exactly what tour suppose to be doing today.

It's crazy isn't it how it makes us feel. I've been trying to make myself do something productive each day but today just got to me too much.
My health anxiety also goes into overdrive on days when I feel like this. Every ache and pain on these days makes me think it's something sinister. And because I'm slobbing on the sofa, my postures all wrong so the inevitable happens with more aches and pains which is a never ending circle of anxiety and trying to tell myself it's because I'm sat or laid wrong.
I'm used to being busy, used to being active and walking between 5 and 10 miles daily, but since I lost partial sight in October my fitness has all but vanished. Just hate that the menopause makes us all feel so horrendous. I really do wish more was known and understood about it all. Its crazy cos it causes issues with work, my youngest even notices things I do or the way I'm feeling now.. And for a 19year old lad that's saying something. 😩

I have days like this often! Makes me feel like crap about myself and that I have just wasted another day. Want to eat rubbish and feel grumpy as well. What a delight I am!
