I'm currently finding it very difficult to find motivation for anything. especially work and work related. i feel like if i had the option not to working for a while i would just stop. i struggle to maintain any energy or motivation.

Low motivation: We spend much of our time at work and when we dislike our job it can be very difficult. This can lead to reactive depression and low motivation. A few sessions w/a psychologist can help you sort out vocational issues and the depression they may be spawning. Peace and good health.

Depression: It is very possible these are symptoms of a clinical depression. Since you are in New Zealand you should see your GP and they can fully evaluate you and possibly start treatment or refer you to mental health services. But you have to take the first step. There is help.

Motivation: See your GP. Will need blood work up to make sure there is no pathology like low iron, thyroid problems etc. if all is normal , depression may have to be looked into.

Body or mind?: Symptoms of low mood, lack of motivation, lack of interest and energy can mean a hormonal imbalance in your body, an underlying pathology or signs of early depression. Low levels of iron, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal gland pathology, low testosterone levels can all cause a decrease in energy levels and low moods. Visit your GP to rule these out first before considering depression as diagnosis

Drugs & alcohol: A lack of energy & motivation is highly suggestive of depression and making an appointment to see a doctor is the first step. For many people, alcohol or drug (especially methamphetamine or cannabis) use has escalated from recreational to harmful levels. Again, this is something a Dr or counsellor can help with. If you urgently need to talk, call Lifeline 0800 543 354

Counselling: Agree with the comments made here. If not a medical disorder and work related may be eligible for EAP (employee assistance program) which often provides free therapy. eapservices.co.nz

Low energy: There could be many possible causes for this. These range from lack of sleep, poor dietary habits, hypothyroid or other endocrine abnormalities, to depression. Start with simple things first like a healthy lifestyle of eating well, exercise, and good sleep habits. If those things are not the issue it might be worth discussing this with you GP and doing some simple blood tests.

Depression or work: 2 main possibilities: You are in a bad job or you are depressed or both. If you are sleeping poorly, not enjoying life consider depression. Sometimes a bad job can make you depressed. It would good to have a online consultation with a doctor
