Thumbs down Feeling totally unmotivated and helpless

Hi everyone. I have been having too many problems that I contantly worry about. and I feel helpless, like there is no way out. Last week I got a letter from a lawyer that said I owed over 3000$ on an outstanding balance of a credit card, that I never even used. My old boyfriend from 3 years ago had a card that was in my name too, and it's really his debt. I wrote a letter back to the lawyer and I emailed my old friend. This is really bothering me, because I've always had good credit with the one account that I do have.
Also I am living in a mobile that is way over my budget, and I w as planning on getting applications for low income apts. But I have no help when it comes to moving my stuff. My brother was telling me that he couldn't help and that my sister couldn't either because her fiance is very sick with liver disease and she is taking care of him. My brother told me that me moving soon would be 'bad timing.
I am so unmotivated that I feel that I'm unable to get a part time job, and my ssi just isn't enough. This unmotivation and depression seems to be getting much worse than it has been. I feel totally alone and helpless with no one else to turn to. I stay up late and don't get up til after noon, and I am feeling empty and listless. Going to my doc every 2 months doesn't seem to help, but at least I go there for my meds. Anyway I just needed to vent and I know this board is good for that. It's good to know that there are other people who can relate to problems similar to mine, and who understand bi-polar disorder.

Re: Feeling totally unmotivated and helpless

I feel what your feeling now. I was being switched to different medications left and right i just couldnt take it anymore, i dropped out of school. im barely holding on to a part time job, and during the day its horrible i am so unmotivated and i waste my money on pizza and sit on my *** all day.
Sometimes i get spurts every now and then like after i watch a movie or something and illt ry to go run or something but it never works. Im not going to be like hey its gonna be ok everything will get better, cause the truth is right now it wont, your surviving like i am.
I know what you mean when you say u need to vent and stuff. Our worlds are burning right before our eyes, and no one can see us burn, no one understands.
I am starting to get so unmotivated that its making me angry, and im starting to use that anger to get back in shape, and struggle through my ****** job. im starting not to care. im evolving.
so **** your brother turn up some music and move out into a cheaper place. dont think of it like your just gonna move out and thats it.
think of it as starting your new life, tougher stronger smarter, a new you. you still be depressed, you will still have to take meds, but you are your own vigilante. try it, **** yourself and be something your not, be the person YOU want to be.
its late and i may be rambling but whateveri cant sleep hope this helped

Re: Feeling totally unmotivated and helpless

Hey Fran, if you figure out how to do that would you help an old friend out and tell me the secret??
Everyone but me seems to think I could certanly find SOME job out there to do...
They all think I'm "doing better than I think I am".
Ha.
My learning curve is totally flat. My memory stinks. I get nervous when someone stands over me. Yeah, uh-huh, sure I could handle being a new employee.... !!

The worst thing is that I DID work from age 19-47... And I WOULD be working if I could. No one seems to get that...
And thanks for listening (again)...

Re: Feeling totally unmotivated and helpless

Let me start by sayings, for ME... "Money is the root of all evil"...

Then let me second by saying, for ME... "Unsupportive family is worse than having 30 enemies"...

Then let me third by saying, I feel for ya!

That has gotta suck... Just hang in there...

I think some people have LUCK in life... I am just UNLUCKY... I hope you turn out to be on the LUCKY SCALE!
