Is it normal to feel depressed without motivation?

I have no motivation in me. No matter freaken what, I just don't care enough about anything to make me want to pursue it. The only time I felt really motivated like I have to get my sh*t together and I can a better person was with my ex. He's a very ambitious and smart guy, I was just madly in love with how confident he was and it made me want to be a better person for him. Now that I don't have him, I'm back to not caring about anything. Unless I start thinking of him, I can't seem to find the desire to do something. The thing also is I randomly get motivated almost like a bipolar thing. I am also goal oriented, I know what I want to do but I haven't had that much motivation to actually go out there and pursue it. Again, whenever my ex would mention something about my career or interests, it would get me going. But now without him, yeah I have myself to look to but I have no motivation most of the time. It's so hard to find it. You need the passion and I happen to be pretty careless and easygoing so it doesn't help me pursue my goals. So as I grow up, Im starting to get depressed about it. I think it's a part of growing up like you have to have something to fulfill you that will keep you going and I do not have that. So it's this emptiness I feel that is making me feel down almost every single minute now.

    Whenever you get an idea of doing something, you have five seconds to act on it before you quit. Start counting down from five next time, and make sure you're up and moving before 0.

    What you need is a Fuck Buddy.

    Nothing like sex to get you back on track.

    IMO every young person needs to spend a summer having sex everyday all day. Just wake up-sex, eat-sex, go outside-sex, come back-sex, eat-sex, after dinner-sex, before sleep-sex, middle of the night-sex...repeat.

    In no time you will eat better, sleep better, think clearer, loose weight, feel better about yourself, have a better outlook on life, view people in a better perspective and know your place in life.

    Go out and buy a copy of the KamaSutra and let Tantra Sex guide you to a better life! This is no BS post, this is 100% real I've done it.

        well if she lives by herself then there could be no one to give her motivation

        if she lived with her parents, they could expect her to get a job, ect and that could be motivation

        so thats why im guessing she probaley lives alone

    No pain no gain. Buy eggs in bulk and also a pull up bar.

    What you need to do is workout and lift heavy it'll make you feel better and more energized, unless your food budget is strictly water and Ramon noodles you've got no excuse.

        Buy a nice HEPA filtration system and change the filters often like a white person would.
