anyone with lack of desire and motivation?

**BC-MAV** · 08-03-2009, 01:00 PM

Just when I think things are ok I start crying. I have tried to figure out what triggers it (being alone and IBS flare ups) but sometimes I just can't put my finger on it and I am just lacking with desire or motivation for anything... with DH... with the kids... with friends. I don't care to go out or do things or even watch tv. I know that's part of the depression but I was just wondering those of you suffering from it what triggers your crying and down mood and what do you do to help? thanks.

Dear God yes, I completely understand what you are saying. I have not gone to work for 2 days because I just can't get the motivation to get up and shower. I've sent DD to my mom's and have spent the past 48 hours sleeping and watching tv. The only things I've eaten are ice pops because I've been too lazy to cook or even order in.

I was just on the couch today wondering if the Lexapro is really helping and how much worse I would be without it.

I haven't really found anything to make it better...I've just pulled up my big girl panties and put one foot in front of the other. I get so tired of acting like everything is ok...

I wish I could help you and me and anyone else but I'm at a loss too. DH is coming home for R&R in 2 weeks and I can't seem to find the energy to clean the house...I so don't want him to come home to a mess.

Sometimes I just want to burn the house down and walk away. Care to join me?

I did keep myself busy since I posted and that has helped some... too busy to think about how I feel and pretending everything is ok to others. DH is very supportive and I did let him entertain about 6 guys over here last night to BBQ, drink beer, and to watch a war movie! I think some upbeat music at least makes you feel a little better ~ maybe give you some inspiration to clean? (((HUGS))) back to you all!
