Recently you may have realised my blog posts have been few and far between. I really apologise for that but I'm going through a tough time mentally and the big thing I've found the last few weeks is I have a huge lack of motivation.

Lack of motivation is a common symptom with depression and it is a pain in the a***. I have things I need to do but the motivation is lacking and none of it is getting done. Emails are taking me weeks to reply to. Reading is taking a long time. Cleaning is an effort. Showers are limited. I just don't have the spoons.

Spoons are linked to "spoon theory" which is dividing your energy up as spoons. Some activities take more spoons than others. Therefore it's prioritising the right activities to the never of spoons you have. It also links in with motivation too.

The frustrating thing is the ideas for things to do are in my head, wanting to get out but I just don't feel I can do it. I can't be physically bothered. My body feels is saying no. And another part of my mind is agreeing that it's all too much effort.

So that's why things are slowly happening. Keeping moving is what I'm trying to do. Just more slowly. Even posts on social media are lacking. Apologies again and take care. 💚
