Okay, so for about one and a half years now, I have been having trouble with motivation and depression. This past semester in college, I was better at getting my schoolwork done, but I felt frustration build up inside me everytime I did it. After my final exam, I felt an adrenaline rush, which boosted my motivation and enthusiam, but now it's gone downhill again. I haven't downloaded any songs to my iPod for ages, and I can't seem to find time to listen to CDs on my stereo. On top of that, I am taking a summer course, and when my last exam was over, I felt enthusiastic about the course, but now I'm feeling draggy about it.

IT"S SO ANNOYING!! !! !! My motivation and enthusiasm have been really internittent lately, and I can't take it anymore, I feel like crying extremely loud, almost like a toddler's temper tantrum!! !! ! This never used to happen to me.

WILL THIS NIGHTMARE EVER END???! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

I have experienced that exact same thing. I don't really know what there is you can do to make it go away though...
With me, I just start feeling better eventually. Then something will happen and it'll come back.
Try and wait though, I'm sure it'll get better eventually. I know how frustrating it can be. Losing motivation can be especially hard.

And you shouldn't have to deal with it.

It's true that everyone goes through ups and downs in life, but it's not normal to be clinically depressed for no reason. If it's that bad, you really should see a doctor to talk about treating it. If you're depressed over life circumstances, you might also see a therapist for a while.

Yep i've noticed if you give it time and forget about things some depression goes away, and then you get better feelings back. Motivation has been quite a problem for me too.

Yeah, but after a year or so,
it's pretty hard to see any worth
to the small fragments of your
life that are likely to be better.
