How can I overcome my laziness?

Question

I'm 19 years old and have a 3 month old baby boy, and I'm married. All I do all day is sit home and do nothing. I really want that to change. The night before, I think of something to do for the next day, but when the next day comes, I really don't feel like doing it... I don't feel like cleaning, cooking, walking with the baby, or the most disgusting thing, I sometimes feel to lazy to even take a shower. It's killing me, but I'm too lazy to do anything, even though I truly want to change. Please do not judge me because I seriously feel horrible about my current lifestyle. I don't even want to hang out with my friends. All I want to do is nothing... Is this some phase I'm going through that's gonna change in the future, or what do you think I could do to change?

Answer 1

Work your way up. start off small, then go bigger and bigger. start off with cooking, and work your way up to hanging with friends and bigger things.

Answer 2

Stuff will never change unless you do something about it. What ever is making you unhappy won't fix itself and its up to you to fix it and never allow someone to tell you that you can't.

Answer 3

check with your doctor or ask your baby's doctor at the next appointment.  You might have a mild case of postpartum depression.  Check out the source I looked up it will tell you more.  Good luck honey!!

Answer 4

Could be post-natal depression. Talk to a doctor.

Answer 5

Go to your doctor and have a complete physical.  You may be anemic, or have some condition that keeps you from being all that you can be.  You could be depressed.  It is hard to go from being a teenager to being a wife and mother.

I had something similar and started taking acai juice and a B-100 complex tablet every day, and it turned me around 180 degrees.

I'm not 19, I'm 66,  so check with your doctor before taking anything.

Good luck, you sound like you really want to do the right thing.  Don't let anyone tell you to "snap out of it" because whether your problem is physical or is depression, it is still as disabling as having a broken leg.

Answer 6

I hate to say this because I don't like "shrinks" (psychologists and psychiatrists), but I really think you need to consult a professional like a doctor or a therapist.  I understand not wanting to do anything; I feel that way too, sometimes.  However, I think what you need is some motivation!!!  You need something to make you want to do stuff....What about your husband???  Doesn't he encourage you to do stuff with him???  I hope you feel better soon, dear, because you may be falling into a deep, dark depression.  Get some help, and get on with your life....quickly.

You just bear a fetus for more than 9 month, during that you experience hard work and it's on the climax when you do the labor.

Most people are experiencing post labor exhaustment for couple week. During post labor exhaustment all muscle relax and people lazy doing anything that's why you see a lot of woman gain more weight after giving labor. This relax condition will become new habit if people do not treat it wisely. To make a come back become active it's need will. If you don't have willing to make come back than you will get chubby and chubbier than obesity.

This symptom also experienced by people that get Hepatitis in which they have to do total rest in the bed for more than 4 month. In which doing nothing become their habit already, so you often see ex hepatitis patient gain weight fast.

So, push your self, give a try for 2 month with 2 week gradual increase in activity and stay active constantly in 1.5 or give a chance in 3 month to build new habit.
