I don't know that I have any advice but I can sure relate to this. I have a few other issues in addition to depression, but motivation is something I struggle with daily. One thing I've done that sometimes helps is making a to-do list. That way, when I do do something I can cross it off the list and see it visually. Also, maybe doing a task for 5-10 minutes (to start with) and then allowing yourself a break might help. It's a challenge, for sure.

I am also dealing with this currently. I’ve been trying Prozac but it hasn’t helped so I’m gonna look into other options. I think I have a chronic fatigue disorder but I haven’t been diagnosed with anything.

What are you unmotivated to do? What things do you find motivation easier to give to?
