Hello there, how can I help?

Hello! I'm just here because recently I haven't felt motivated. I miss my friends and I want to see them and do things, but everytime they offer I am too unmotivated to go out even though I want to. And I live with one of my best friends, and I don't even do anything with her

So you are concerned that you are feeling unmotivated and don't feel like doing anything.
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
yes prettu much

Have you felt like this for a while or has it only been a recent change in your feelings and motivation?
assistant
Question
It's sort of on and off recently. I'll get little bursts of motivation, and then it quickly goes away. Pretty much every other day
user

That must be a real challenge and if it is a recent change it is natural to feel concerned about this.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Oh really? I hope so I'm worried that it isn't natural since I haven't always been like this
user

I do not always feel positive and motivated myself and have spoken to a professional in the past which helped me understand why this is, for me it was linked to a lack of sleep.
assistant
Self-disclosure
Oh so me feeling this way could be a result of other things that maybe aren't at the healthiest in my life?

People's moods can be regulated by many things. I know for example that sleep and diet can play a big part in some cases.
assistant
Information
I feel like I eat okay and I get enough sleep, but I do work a lot. Very long days and I feel drained at the end of the day. That seems like the obvious reason, but usually I'm still able to do stuff afterwards... So I'm not sure if that is truly why

have you tried talking to your friends and telling them now you feel? They may not know you are feeling this may and might be able to help you and provide support.
assistant
Providing Suggestions
That's true, I haven't really talked to them about it. I usually have a hard time opening up
user
null
What is it about opening up that you find difficult? is it sharing your feelings with others?
assistant
Question
I guess I'm scared I'm going to come across weaker to them
user
null
I think you have reached out for support and so you clearly want to do something about this which is a great first step. I think you can get over these fears and overcome them.
assistant
Affirmation and Reassurance
Yeah. It's just easier for me to do it anonymously but I do need to talk to the people that are important to me
user
null
I can tell you are anxious about it and fear coming across as weak but I think that would be a positive step for you.
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Yeah, I think so too :)
user
null
I think you can do it and overcome this issue!
