Struggling with Motivation: Any Tips?

I'm having a hard time being motivated in even the smallest things, like taking a shower brushing my teeth. I'm just wondering if anyone else has that same issue and how you've overcome it?

Girl, same. I haven't overcome it. All I know is my therapist said apathy is a sign that it's time to pick a goal to work on.

Over the counter supplements like 5-ht magnesium and vitamin d help so I schedule myself to take those when I feel like this. Allow yourself grace and let your feelings fall where they may. Good luck

I'm taking vitamin D, but haven't thought about magnesium and allowing myself grace is one of the hardest things I need to do, so thank you. I will work on that.

Definitely have had those issues, and though maybe this is unhealthy or stupid, I kind of “glorify” them, like how when we were kids we would pretend to be a in a music video when looking out the car window. Pretending I’m okay or in a movie or some shit helps some days if it’s not too bad

I like that idea, thank you.
