I really have little motivation when it comes to helping myself move forward. I do if its for another person. I would go to the ends of the earth if its for someone I care about. Right now I dont have a lot of people who actually care about me now. The ones who pretend like they do are just using me and I started going to lengths where I was making myself sick to help these people. How do I motivate myself to make myself better?

    I think most people lose motivation when they don't have anyone in their life. You have to look at the bigger picture. You can't expect anyone to care about you if you hate yourself. When you work on yourself to become the person you want to, the more likable you will be, which increases the chance you will meet someone good. That can serve as motivation right there to improve yourself.

      I never said I was not responsible. I am more responsible then most people. I just dont care about myself as much as I do about others.

    When I'm feeling like that it's usually a sign I need to go count my Meds and do some math to see if I missed a dose. Though to qualify that statement I am legitimately mentally ill, never going to "get better". That said I am a big fan of mental health professionals they are there to help you and almost none will try and push you towards medication if you don't need or want it.
    Along those lines I'm not sure how old you are but there are a number of mental health disorders that don't usually present until around 25 years old including serious things like BiPolar/Manic Depressive disorder.
    Or you could just need a councilor and more caffeine, that's why Doctors are pros and you shouldn't get prescription drugs form random people online.

    I have the answer to this puzzle

    you find someone who tells you "I want you to do something for me if you really care about me... and that something is making yourself better... for me"

    and before you say "but I'm supposed to do it all on my own!" I should tell you... Bono would disagree
