For years I've thought that I didn't want to socially interact because of social anxiety. However, I have little problem with social anxiety now because of self-psychotherapy. What remains, and I think it contributed more to my problem than anxiety, is a lack of motivation. I just forgot what it feels like to have a normal amount of motivation.
Here are some symptoms:
Too lazy to make myself meals, eating a very simple diet at the moment because of this. Too lazy to make myself carrot salad although I know it would help reduce endotoxin, etc.
Too lazy to brush my teeth. Haven't done that in a month, actually.
Sometimes too lazy to get up and pee in the morning, so lying there with a full bladder is preferable.
Failing schoolwork despite ability to do well
Too lazy to do chores
Anxiety with neck stiffness and tremors, but typically not "helpless" or "surrendered". Mistook lack of motivation for this.
I experience pleasure alright, so this is purely motivational. It's hard to get up in the morning without upbeat music.
I have long-term goals, but at this rate I'm going nowhere, even with reasonable goals. Not only do I lack motivation for a better future, but the future doesn't seem bright for me if I have to work, which requires motivation. So the best thing to this state of mind is to do nothing now and do nothing later.
I tried Tianeptine, and it didn't help with motivation despite reducing serotonin. Have been doing T3 + T4 for months (now I can wear less clothing than others and stay warm), pregnenolone, niacinamide (on and off), thiamine, vitamin K, vitamin A, and vitamin D for a while; taurine, vitamin E, and progest-E recently (which didn't help). Caffeine reduces motivation even more for some reason. Have been avoiding PUFAs and eating RP-recommended foods for 3 years.
Is there any substances over the internet I can buy that are healthy (have a dopaminergic/anti-serotonergic effect for example) and can help me with this purely motivational problem? Or maybe there are such prescription drugs available in the US? I checked out Wellbutrin, but apparently it can cause anxiety in some people. SSRI's are obviously harmful, and probably would reduce motivation. SNRI's increase norepinephrine, and RP warned that adrenergic drugs are harmful. MAOI's increase serotonin. ADHD drugs increase adrenalin/norepinephrine. Don't know what other drugs are available.
