Kate--
Yes there have been MANY MANY times when I have felt like that.. so unmotivated and I think whats the point..
But just think you are just going through a low.. you wont always feel that way.
One motivation is its your life.. and its up to you to decide to quality of life you want to have. You only have one..
Another thing that worked against me was secondary gains.. wheN I feel that way.. the attention I get from my husband or like people being concerned about me.. or the not having responsiblities.. and knowing someone else will do my errands. ANd just not dealing with things in general.
I know MOST ppl can admit or even get defensive about secondary gains.. but I think if a lot of ppl with agoraphobia really evalutated themselves honestly then they would fine they have some.
Just know that you have to want to get better before you can ever get better. I am know I am probably preaching to the choir.. lol.. but its like you have to want it more than your fear.
Another GREAT book that has changed my life and opened my eyes is a book about Codependancy.. called from Bondage to Bonding by Nancy Bloom ..which I honestly wasnt even aware was a prob for me until I read it. Another one i recommend if you have read that one is Managing your Emotions by Joyce Meyers I totally recommend them both.
But just think of yourself in a funk right now.. and it will pass. Are you on any AD's right now? THat might help.. although so far medication has no effect either good or bad for me. I mean I cant even tell I have taken anything..
Well I hope you get to feeling better...
