I need motivation!!!?!
Question: I have a hard time getting myself to do stuff anymore. I live alone, work from home, and am homeschooled. Basically I can do whatever I want all the time. . . . But all I ever do is sit at home or sleep. I can't get myself to work every day like I am supposed to, and I always put off my work for the week until the very last day I need to have it done (tomorrow, actually). I also have to go to the gym every day for PE (for homeschooling) and I can't get myself to do it. I ran 5 miles there 2 days ago. . . . but I couldn't get myself up to do even one now.
I don't know whats wrong. I just don't have much reason for anything anymore. I have great friends and a nice apartment and I live in a big city and should never be as bored as I am. I used to be on prozac for I dont know what. . . . . . my dad has severe depression. . and I used to, but I dont get it anymore. It got up and left, I guess. I have bad ups and downs. . . and can't keep a normal level. I need to find balance... .how?

get your dam doctor to prescribe you some stuff, it helps
i think either paxil or something similar to that and or get your friends to help because it important to have good influences so that you can get better in life rather than thinking about suicide
try to think about all your achivements and try making some goals, or try thinking about all the other people more unfortunate than you, people who get hit by natural disasters everyday while your living in a city getting three meals a day, think of the good things in life that you have and should be grateful for
other than that methods are finding a hobby or playing games to calm yourself or getting some humor inside of you to ease the pain or lessen stress
You could make a plan and stick to and get into shape. Then when you are full of energy you will find that you will want to do things more. Go outside when it's sunny or swim at a pool. just dont lay around all day. This might be a gay answer but i hope it helps!
You live alone, work at home, home schooled...do you ever get out at all? You need an adventure. Maybe just put everything in storage and disappear and discover yourself.
If you have been to a Dr. about your depression before, maybe you need to go back, especially for your bad ups and downs. Maybe the Dr. can help you find a balance and figure out why you have such lows and highs.
