The Get up and Go has Gone?

My motivation has legged it! I cannot be bothered at the moment to do anything and I don't understand if it's physical or pyschological. I have had a huge blast of radio last Monday on my spine (5 days worth in one hit) and the week before chemo, so I have been exhausted but feel I should be making the best of my life while I am able. I have always been an 'on the go' person, busy, living life to the full and extremely motivated but now I just can't be asked! I hope I'm not sinking into a depression, I don't think so. How can I motivate myself to get ready for the day, I really don't know anymore. So fed up with feeling this way, I want my previous life back I suppose..............

Listen to your body, it is telling you it needs a rest.

So much has happened to it lately. Your "Get up and go" will return I promise you. I have just finished 6 months of chemo and my body is telling me to relax and rest. I only finished last week so there is time yet. Take care of yourself. Love Julie x

I do sympathise! It is difficult when you have been a busy person and so aware of the work ethic that it almost feels sinful to lay about and do nothing. Never mind that your body is saying, "hang on there... give me a break!" You still feel annoyed, guilty and generally fed up.

Be kind to yourself... relax...

Best wishes,

Hi

I think we all need to listen to what our bodies are saying. Take some rest & pace yourself.
