Lack of motivation

im the same @Former-Member

its really hard to do things

do you sedated because of meds

yes sedated, due to higher dose of medication.

Thanks...

I been getting chest pains lately and feeling like I am about to pass out. I am gonna visit GP tomorrow for few tests. Hopefully its nothing. I will ask my support group if they can arrange for walking group, I think that will help. Thanks for nudging me in the right direction.

GP said its anxiety and the only way to overcome that is through exercise and keeping myself busy. I am writing here incase it helps anyone.

thanks for letting know @Former-Member

hope your doing ok now

Hey @Former-Member,

I feel like regularly exercising is the same as practicing a new skill - the more often you do it the better you actually become and the normalised it becomes as a pattern. If you can just force yourself to go twice a week for a few, then three, then maybe four. Even if you don't do it for a long time. Just the act of pushing your fatigue and malaise aside will benefit you in the long run.

Habits are hard to form but easy to maintain in my experience and the benefits you can attain will probably massively carry over to ending your lack of motivation. Go slowly and patiently.

Thanks, thats helpful.

Thanks @patrickT

You were right about exercise being same as practising a new skill.

I started slow and easy and now exercise regularly.

Getting stronger everyday. Its helping my recovery and confidence.
