How can I get motivated. I know I have a lot of stress and have reason to be "tired" all the time. I have a out of control 18 year old son - and two other teenagers who are really good kids. I don't receive child support - but have a good job. I'm filing bankruptcy - but see it as a new beginning. But - all I want to do is sleep every chance I can - immediately after work and all weekend. My house is a mess - and it's never been like this. I can't believe I'm living in a mess like this. It almost seems overwhelming - my kids do help some - but I need to get motivated. I am taking Cymbalt for depression - but doesn't seem to be help.
HELP - I've got to get out of this bad habit of being lazy. Any suggestions?

Just try and stay positive. Maybe even take a class of find something you are interested in. I am interested in a lot of things, and maybe set it for a certain date. Tell yourself "If I do this, then I will beable to have more time for my hobby". Find something you love and go with it.

do you have friends or family who could come round and help you? Maybe if you could get the whole house cleaned in one day with people helping then it would be easier to keep on top of and you be be more motivated to do it because there wouldn't be as much to do. I think when we face, whats seems to us tio be, a mammoth task we do lack motivation but if it is a fairly straighforward one then we will be able to do it.
Also do you take time out for you? You need to do that. Make sure you take some time out every day (if you can) where you just relax doign what you want to do whether it be reading a book by the fire listening to the radio or relaxing in the bath with scented candles. A massage or something would probably help as well so you could feel refreshed.
