Maybe more than boredom...?!
Question: I have a major problem with boredom. I just can't seem to focus. Like right now, I have so much I really want to do that I would normally enjoy (reading, working on my studio, going out with friends)....but I just can't get of the couch. Its almost like I have no desire to do the things I really want to do. I don't even feel like watching TV. I just feel like I can't do anything. I don't feel depressed or unmotivated, just completely unfocused.
What can I do to combat this? (please no 13 year olds saying "I like to do this stuff when I'm bored!" I need a real academic response. )

I am not sure of your age but i assume teen ager. These could be some causes, poor diet. If you eat alot of junk or not enough good nutrients you will have no energy. If you dont exercise regularly or do physical activity you will be tired faster or be unmotivated. You dont need drugs or to see a doctor unless you have also noted you lost alot of weight for no reason, have dizziness, or feel sick. Think of things you would like to try doing and force yourself to do it. If no one has ever really pushed you to do things in your life then it will be harder for you as you get older to motivate yourself. Force yourself now and you will improve.
