Sometimes I am lazy to do anything at all. Also, nowadays I feel disappointed more than satisfied when doing things that are supposed to make me happy like eating or travelling or watching stuff or reading stuff. So, sometimes I feel that I really have no motivation to live because I am tired of everything and nothing makes me happy anymore
Hey @user815030,
I was reading what you had written, it doesn’t sound like laziness and it sounded like your motivation system has reduced. You’re still doing activities that are usually enjoyable, but the sense of reward isn’t there. That shift matters.
Motivation usually doesn’t collapse without something changed… I’m wondering when you first noticed this. Was it gradual over months? Or did it follow a particular period of stress or disappointment?
From your wording, this doesn’t sound recent. It sounded like you’ve been carrying this for some time. When enjoyment reduces across many areas; food, travel, reading and tiredness becomes constant, that often points to depletion rather than lack of discipline.
I want to check something clearly. When you say “no motivation to live,” were you struggling with life or of exhaustion and meaninglessness? If there are thoughts of harming yourself, that needs immediate attention and support.
What you’re describing can be part of depression. Depression is not only sadness. It can look like:
- reduced pleasure
- low energy
- mental fatigue
- consistent thoughts like “nothing works anymore”
If you’re willing, share: When did this start? Was there a buildup of stress, burnout, disappointment, or conflict before this happened?
