Hi,
I want to add that I have the very same problem. I can't believe your words are as if they came from my own mouth. I've had this problem for about 10 yrs and at first I attributed it as, just getting older, while at the same time I notice people who are older, sometimes much older than I am. I am female, 50 and about 5 yrs ago I started searching for supplements to help me & info that could lead me to what is wrong with me. All through my life, being a young child, teenager, in my 20's and 30's I had energy, the will and motivation to do all I wanted, I loved being this way. I wanted to be doing things all the time. I had never sit through an entire 2 hr movie to watch it all, as if it didn't interest me, but I couldn't sit there for that long, I wanted to be doing something. My house was always organized, clean and tidy. So when I was 38, I remember this is when I started feeling "lazy". Like I said I thought it was just me getting older, my metabolism slowing down & I knew this was part of getting older because I did plenty of online searching & that symptom is part of aging. At first I tried not thinking about it, then as I see other people doing things that are my age & older, I felt like something is wrong with me. I couldn't accept and still don't not having any motivation to do anything. I am on Effoxor 75 mg, 1 a day, thyroid med 100 mcg, 1 a day and even looked into my hormone levels, thinking that would have to help me, my levels were very low, low enough that I'm on bio identical hormones, bi-est, testosterone, progesterone, vit D, krill oil, coq 10, liquid whole foods multi vitamin & mineral supplement, curcumin, I actually found this site while I was searching for info about nootropics, I've tried a few of those and I'm still not motivated, even when I know I need to wash a sink full of dishes, get clothes washed and such. I want to so very badly. There are so many things I think of that I want to do, really want to do but I can't find motivation/energy to get up & do them. I have noticed on occasion when I smoke some marijuana, I can do things, in fact at times I have smoked marijuana because I know it will make me get things done, but not always. But when I read the post about not having motivation and all the things that was said, I said to myself, that's exactly me. So that's why I decided to write this. I'm wondering if there's other people who are like this other person & myself & especially if someone reads this and can help in any way.
