Lately, I’ve been struggling with motivation. I’m not sure exactly when it started. I still go through my daily routine but it often feels like I’m running on autopilot. I wake up, do what I need to do, and get through the day, but I don’t feel excited or driven.
Sometimes I feel like I want to disappear. It feels less like wanting to end my life and more like wanting to step away from everything and not be perceived by anyone. I don’t know if I’m tired, overwhelmed, stressed, or just lost. I think I’ve been carrying a lot for a long time, and maybe it’s catching up to me. Right now, I don’t have answers. I just know that I don’t feel like myself and its tiring to always feel this way.
Dear @intuitivereindeer4935
Thank you for reaching out. What you shared is understandable and I think many of us can relate to the experiences you described.
Reading your post, I gather you may be feeling overwhelmed and stressed. This commonly happens when our work and life balance is affected.
It may be good to speak to a trusted family member or friend for support.
I also recommend to prioritise time for exercise, relaxation activities and doing hobbies you enjoy. Review and take stock of your life priorities and set boundaries to prioritise work life balance.
Speaking to a counsellor to identify what are your values, aspirations and motivations could help you seek clarity on what is important for you.
The mindline website lists several resources you may want to explore such as self help tips and resources available.
Do get the support you need soon. Your well being is a priority, always. 
Hey there, thanks for sharing. That sounds really exhausting, and I’m sorry you’ve been carrying this for so long. Sometimes when we’ve been pushing through stress, responsibilities, or difficult emotions for a long time, we get so used to functioning that we don’t notice how drained we’ve become until one day everything starts to feel numb and heavy.
What you said about wanting to disappear in sense where you want to stop being perceived and to step away from everything, is something many people feel when they’re overwhelmed. It can be a sign that you’re craving rest, space, and relief from the constant demands of life.
You don’t sound lazy or unmotivated to me. You sound tired. Deeply tired.
You don’t need to have all the answers right now. For the moment, maybe the kindest thing you can do for yourself is acknowledge that something has been weighing on you and that it deserves attention, not dismissal. You’ve been carrying a lot, and you don’t have to keep carrying it alone.
Be gentle with yourself. The fact that you don’t feel like yourself right now doesn’t mean you’ve lost yourself:)
