How do you deal with lack of motivation?
I think I must have a bipolar disorder or something. One day I will feel fascinating by what I'm studying - I feel almost in love with the subject, and I want to learn as much as I can about it - while on other days, I wonder "what's the point of studying this?" On these low days, the subject seems to be intrinsically boring to me - which contradicts how I feel about the subject on my good days - and I wonder if my interest in the subject is real or if I'm just pretending to like it because I need to hold value in *something*. Perhaps this feeling comes from a life-long conditioning of a perception that intellectual pursuits are boring - they cannot be interesting.
Has anyone else had similar experience? How do you handle it?

My studies have become way more automated, I don't even think about it on a meta level like you do. I just study...
I can't help you.

I have depression which has a similar effect, usually once I start working on something I become interested enough to continue, but I have to really push myself for the first 10-15 minutes and 90% of the time I give up before I even start

Seems like a bretty good system to me. Just gotta figure out how to make that happen.

Have you considered that having some good days and some days where you struggle to get going is a natural part of human experience

Anon, your environment and how your day went are extremely important to your feelings of motivation and happiness. Have a healthy lifestyle with a diversity of interests and hobbies

I just wait until the last minute and drink a lot. If I don't finish something, I don't finish it.

It's not a disorder, it's a legit question you have to find the answer for. For me, all other activities are less desirable.

Dude, i had passing by through on the same situation. "Am i strong enough to keep on moving?" Universe is based on entropy and movement, so you must walk to work >everysingleday<, don't stop to think what is right or wrong! Live your life! Have a routine is the best thing to get out of this kind of noise. Is not easy as you though once you never pratice, but be strong and get over from lazyness! Good luck soldier!
