Any tips and encouragement from the OT would be appreciated.


Start exercising regularly and watch less news on TV.

Hang in there, no doubt you have family and friends, nothing else is nearly as important, turn to them and focus on how things will only get better. If you fall too far, get help..we’ve all been there, life is hard...but precious...

Same here except I don't lay in bed. On the good days I go to gym. I know that better days are ahead and this funk is almost over.

Share this with your doctor. They can help. In the interim, try to get outdoors and get some physical activity and then a good night’s sleep.

Is this you?



In all seriousness, watch that episode of SP. it’s about what you are describing to a tee.

Delete the social media accounts off your phone, start training for a half marathon.

lazy and unmotivated. get your arse out of the house.


I wouldn’t say I’m lazy or unmotivated. Just nothing gets me excited these days.

Thanks for the overall input though. I probably need some tough love.

I’ll try to take a hike and read some books.

Thanks for the response. I do need to hit the gym again. My weight is fine, but I definitely need to
get my overall strength and tone back.

Good tips on the sleep. That’s probably a factor too. I have a hard time shutting down at night, which leads to trash sleep and is probably at least part of why I just want to sleep after work.

Personal fulfillment/purpose, I believe, only comes in doing something worthwhile for others


That’s probably true. But mentally, it’s hard to think you can help or fulfill others when you can’t even do the same for yourself. Lately, Everything just seems so hollow and trivial, but maybe doing some community service for the less fortunate or something of that nature can provide me with a sense of accomplishment, fulfillment,etc.

you said you are single and living alone


I do actually have a girlfriend so that helps, but we don’t live together, so i only see her a few hours a day 5-6 days a week. So, I’m mostly left to my own devices and when Covid first started I honest to God didn’t really have contact with anyone from Mid March to Early June and I just haven’t been able to fully break out of the funk. I felt like I had a lot of good habits built up, but I haven’t been able to rebuild them.

Try helping others out. Pick out a good cause and do some volunteer work.
