The problem I'm having is that i cant motivate myself to do anything. Even if I know i need to get something done I usually just talk my way out of it. Its really annoying me but I can't just stand up and say: "Now I'm going to study, work, help my mother in the kitchen, etc." Even if I know that by doing it I'm helping someone or making someone happy, still can't do it. Even if It's going to help me, its the same thing. I honestly believe if my life was in danger I wouldn't do anything to prevent it. This thing started maybe a year and a half ago and is really destroying my life. How come I don't do anything to stop it, how come I'm behaving like I'm fine with it when I'm not? I hate it, I'm depressive about it, I contempt myself because of this but still not doing anything to prevent it. Any tips please? I'm desperate.

And thanks everyone who read this whole text.

    It sounds a lot like a chemical imbalance, to me. That kind of lethargy can easily be controlled, but you are going to have to go to an MD to figure it all out.
    He may send you on to a shrink, but it just sounds more physical, to me.

    I agree with the above comments, sounds like depression. Don't beat yourself up about not doing things you need to do, that'll only make you feel worse. Just keep trying, start over as many times as you need to.

    Well it's obvious that you are depressed. What has helped me is to just be productive for the sake of being productive. Once you get started it's easy to get rolling and at the end you might feel good about yourself. Good enough to keep that wheel turning. It's hard don't get me wrong but you just gotta start.
