Is it normal to not have motivation about anything?

I think a lot of people go through what you are describing at one point in time or another, but most are able to overcome it.

Are you on any sort of meds; those can affect your mood (or lack of mood)?

Don't expect any over-night miracles or changes because that's just unrealistic to expect. However, you can make some small adjustments that will eventually lead to more adjustments and greater change.

Not everyone is born a social butterfly ready to take on the world. We learn & are taught how to interact with the world around us by our parents, teachers, peers, and other important people in our lives. Maybe you were never taught or guided through the ins and outs of normal social behavior, so now it feels extremely uncomfortable.

You should start with exploring. You need to develop a curiosity about the world outside of your mom's house. Some people find that going to a nature park is enjoyable because of the connection with nature. What ever you end up doing, just don't take on so much that you end up being completely upset, but also don't do so little that you aren't challenging yourself.

Another thing: you could figure out what you are interested in by asking yourself the question: What would you do if you knew you could not fail -- and you were the wealthiest person alive? Now, what could you do today in your current situation, that would let you accomplish that without needing a bunch of cash to do it.

You are complete control of your life. You can shape your life into the one that you desire over time. Attitude is everything. So far your attitude has been poor because you have nutured it to become that way. If you start nuturing your brain to start thinking positively, then eventually those synaptic connections will become stronger and more dominant in your brain than the negative emotions/thoughts that you currently have.

Make changing your view of the world around you your new hobby.

As for your question, No not at the moment, I am not on medications. With that said, thank you very much for the insightful post. I will try your suggestions although it won't be easy. I think you have a point and an interesting theory, sometimes when I try to be social I reckon I put myself in extreme situations where I just feel exhausted and overwhelmed, as well as upset. I will attempt to go at it the "baby steps route". Thanks again.

I feel the exact same way I don't want to be social or be at school but my mother would kill me if I dropped out.

I feel like this almost every day...except I havent dropped out of highschool..( I have depression too) noooo motivation at all whatsoever.. I hope things get better with you and wish you well. Im also seeing a psychologist as well. You just have to push yourselves to do things, think about how boring life will get for you if you just sleep watch tv and go on the computer for the rest of your life? Go out on walks listen to some music do something your interested in.

I feel this way sometimes too, where I just don't feel like doing anything besides laying bed, but I still do things, have fun, and can overcome it (maybe I'm just really lazy sometimes?). I don't really know how to help. I don't think it's completely normal but perhaps you could take some comfort in knowing you're not the only one that feels this way.
