Lack of Motivation Posted: 10-04-06 03:45am


Okay for some years now everybody tell`s me i`m lazy! True but its now come to a time in my life where I want to get on with things and I find no motivation to do so, ive got a lovely family, married recently and am studying an it course whilst looking after my son during the day and the wife works, but still I find no motivation to study or to take my son out to playgroups etc, im 6 ft and weigh approx 15 and a half stone, yes I am overweight and im guessing this contributes to my feelings, together with a poor diet im probably answering my own question but is there a medical condition that leads to lack of motivation/laziness or am I just hoping there is because its an easy answer? Previously I would find myself in jobs I dont like and would just quit not caring so I also think I need to change mentally, I know I need to do things i.E. Work for aliving but I have this "i just dont care attitude" but I really dont wanna be like this anymore, form the age of 15 I started smoking cannabis and did so for approx 10 years, I abused this badly smoking way too much every day!!! Coupled with dabbling in ecstasy/acid/cocaine and magic mushrooms im sure this contributes to my attitude today, needless to say I stopped smoking approx 3 years ago and the other stuff approx 5 years ago and never went back! Am I just lazy? Have I just got a bad diet? Or could there really be a medical condition? Has anybody got any suggestions as to what might help me please? Many thanks

I think you are all of the above - but your medical condition will be called diabetes, stroke, heart attack. You've admitted you have a problem, so why aren't you doing something about it? Do you want to see your son grow up? Do you want to grow old with your wife? Join a gym, join a suppport group, do you have weight watchers were you are? Why don't you join? Do you want to set a bad example to your son that it's ok to sit around and wonder what if? Please do something abut your health if not for your sake for your family, otherwise it could be too late. Goodluck and promise you will do something about it?
