Does anybody else have a hard time and lack the ambition to do normal activities such as cleaning and organizing around the house? I cannot seem to accomplish much when before I was on top of everything.
I used to be on top of everything too. Now not so much. 😕
I wonder if we will ever get normalacy back???
I sure hope so. I don't like feeling like myself.
I have very little drive to do anything. I hope it changes.
Ohhh yes!
Some days all I want to do is sit on the sofa and watch TV. I just don't have the energy or ambition to do anything. My home used to be spotless but now I manage just enough to keep it clean. Seriously thinking of hiring someone to clean. Thank God my husband is so understanding and helps out as much as he can.
Yes!!!! I used to be really fussy and cleaned all the time, now it just takes to much thinking about and too much effort, I'd rather veg with a good book or do some craft work, although sometimes it's even hard to drum up enthusiasm for the craft work. Feel so blah at the moment but then when I don't do it I feel guilty and stressed 😕
I feel the same as you. I get stressed and feel guilty when I don't clean my house. I just don't have energy sometimes.
Yes it's really horrible and I wish I had the energy and motivation I had in my 20's. I've just hit age 50 and feeling every one of those 50 years with the anxiety, chronic pain and lack of energy 😕
I'm constantly moving but nothing getting done. It's like I cannot focus.
Perhaps now is the time in our lives when we are supposed to reconsider how important a spotless house really is. Or the distribution of work....why is hubby relaxing while we are running around. No, i do not have the energy to keep my house spotless, but i have also learned to cut myself a break and not beta myself up about it.
I do have my moments! I work full time and during the week Ive stopped cooking dinner ..but maybe 2 times a week we'll cook and that's it. Just don't have the energy and having to prepare them out away just gets me tired thinking of it! But then I have days where I'm so full of energy. Ive been always active and busy but these past few years have been challenging. I definitely can't wait to get over this!
Me too! It can't be our age because my sis who is 2 yrs older than me still has the ability I once had. I was a machine until this took over.
I had the motivation up until a yr ago. Im always,moving just no accomplishing much???
This is me all over. I literally feel the most settled when I do nothing at all. And then I am not settled because I am doing nothing. When I try and do stuff I get very distracted and can't focus. I have a ton of things to do and here I am reading this forum avoiding life.
