Nothing is motivating me to do anything.

Like the title says. I literally have to force myself to do anything. I don’t want to clean, work on my hobbies, go outside or anything. I just want to lay here. My sleep schedule is fucked. It’s 2:27 in the morning. Yesterday I went to bed around 7am. Woke up at 3pm.

Im married to a wonderful patient man who loves me and our teen daughter more than anything. They are my world. I feel like a shit person that they are not enough motivation for me to do things. I have to force myself to shower or change or anything.

I need to lose weight but also have no motivation. I have diabetes so that should be motivation enough. I want to do art and stuff I love. But all I end up doing is cooking food and playing video games all day.

I smoke weed, only Sativa, and that helps a bit. But not really. I thought maybe it was affecting me negatively so I stopped for a few months and I only felt worse.

Im not suicidal or anything. I want to be alive. I just have no motivation. Caffeine doesn’t help at all.

Idk if I feel sad, mad, or annoyed all the time. The weed helps my mood a lot though. Just need something to give me a boost.

Im 34F. Can’t see a doctor. Can’t see a therapist or anything either. No insurance. I have diagnosed anxiety/panic disorder which has gotten better over the years. Now I only have a panic attack a couple times a year instead of 5-6 times a week. So there’s that. I thought I had adhd, but I guess not since Im just here not doing shit.

I just feel like a failure, a loser, a bum. My husband tells me Im not and reassures me Im loved and that he is here for me.

I have stuff to do. I just want to want to do it. I want to write, read, paint like I use to. Just want some advice on how to change this maybe?? Things I can do at home?? Other than the obvious start exercising at home and watching my diet to lose weight.

Idk what Im looking for honestly. Just general advice I guess.

So this is my first time ever attempting to even sell any of my Art in any way shape or form. I recently started making repeatable patterns. It’s so fun. Lol. I’m a stay at home Mom and hoping to make some money on the side. Every cent counts you know?? Lol. I’ve done research but I’m getting confused.

Now my questions:

  1. How much is Etsy?? Commission and to post??

  2. Is it worth it??

  3. Should I add a Watermark to my work??

  4. How does selling a repeatable pattern work when sold?? do they know how to make it repeat?? Although I’m sure it‘s easy if I do it right. Lol.

  5. how does it work when you sell a digital product?? Do I send it to their email??

  6. Any other info you guys an offer would be great please. I’m extremely new to this.

Also, If you guys have other groups you want to direct me to so I can learn about this stuff would be great please.

Thanks in Advance.
