Recently, I've been unmotivated. To do anything. I can't find reason to go to class, to stay up on my homework, even to wake up on time. I know that there's plenty of stuff I should be doing, but I just don't feel like doing it. Maybe I'm burning out, maybe I'm just succumbing to apathy, maybe I'm just plain lazy. Who knows, who cares.
Anybody else just feel like "blah" recently?

Wow. Regular ol' Joph fan club in here.
It happens to me every fall. As soon as the weather cools and the leaves turn I get the blahs. Just like every spring it's like I'm on speed.
I swear I'm part bear. And if it wasn't for missing snow-boarding season, I'd hibernate.

I've had a serious case of the blah's for quite a while now. It was all I could do to come in to work today, and getting up is sometimes just not worth it. 
I need a vacation.

I set Mondays aside to study for my Monday night class - that's why I'm here.

It's probably a seasonal disorder. They have a name for it, but this time of year I can't remember shiite.
Eat a lot of fruit and get more sunshine. You'll feel better. Or was it stand on one foot and urinate into a mailbox? One of those seemed to work for me last year. I'll get back to you on which one.

Lazy Bastarditis. Very common amongst college kids.
You're just lazy. And a loser, to boot.

There is and its called SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder
kakar sounds like you may have it, but the only way to find out is to go to your Dr. I have this myself and while a major pain in the ***, it can be dealth with. There are a few things you can do to lessen the "blahs".
SAD doesnt mean you actually are "depressed". Your sym[ptoms can range greatly. For myself, I only suffer from extreme fatigue starting slowly in October, reaching its peak in January, then receding starting around mid March
You could just get off your spotty ***** pull yourself together and grow a pair?
Just a thought.
And if it doesn't go away soon, seek help.
I started showing early signs of delusional paranoia and sought medical help. I'm fine now.
I'd highly recommend my therapist.

You had me till the point where you said I'd have to go to my doctor. I don't have a doctor. The reason I don't have a doctor is I don't go to doctors or hospitals unless I'm in severe pain. That has not happened in probably 10 years, so yeah.

What treatment is there?
As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day by using a lightbox or a similar bright light therapy device. (Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether skiing or somewhere hot, is indeed a cure). The preferred level of light is about as bright as a spring morning on a clear day and for most people sitting in front of a lightbox, allowing the light to reach the eyes, for between 15 and 45 minutes daily will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. The user does not have to stare at the light, but can watch TV or read or similar, just allowing the light to reach the eyes. Outside In have a complete range of suitable lights, all in line with the research findings from medical and academic facilities. They are all available on our pioneering HOME TRIAL SYSTEM, and most of them VAT-FREE for personal users.

Considering how much I stare at a PC screen, combined with the fact that I work in a white server room with plenty of flourecent lighting, you'd think I'd have it licked by now.
Nope, I'll do what I always do. Drink way to much caffeine, eat more things with sugar than usual, and bite the head off of anyone who irritates me.
But thanks DSD, just goes to show you, there's a name for every "malady" out there today. And usually drugs to go along with it.

the PC glare doesnt get you the type of light you actually need. If you want to see if it helps you could always try the light therpy on your own. Lamps cost an arm and a leg, but its a one time fee and they do work. You have to sit under them for a minimum of one hour a day. I have one I use as a desklamp and since Im by the computer a lot during the evening hours it works. You can check out your options by googling SAd light therapy.
I also have to take the minimum dosage of Zoloft starting in November and keep on it until April. Which is why you would need to be diagnosed by your Dr if you needed further treatment. But if you dont do MDs the light therapy wont hurt.

Try some alcohol Twiztd, the cause and solution to all the world's problems.
I've got just the thing for you Twiz.

Go back to school.
I've had copious amounts this past weekend, but it's not like I can throw back a few and head to class every day.

This happened to me last semester the last month of classes. I was doing great, and suddenly couldn't seem to make myself study. After putting some stuff off for way to long, I decided to start treating myself to things when I accomplished things, such as "paper done, I get those cute shoes." Maybe that might help? At least it might help you get some classwork done that you don't want to do.
I know in my case I had -alot- of other things on my mind that sort of took over school, at least for the time being (I was about to move back to NY and my husband was coming back from Baghdad). Maybe stress, maybe the other things people have been discussing. Try things just to force yourself to get through to christmas break.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Flourescents are the wrong light spectrum for SAD.
Lights that will help are in the near ultra-violet frequency. Good grow lights(metal halide), or tanning bed lights will do the trick. Those light spectrums help kick in your bodies production of B vitamins.
Depending on temperament, strattera also may help out through the winter.
SAD my ***. I suffer from MAFATYBITA syndrome.
"Middle Aged Fu[/b]ck All These Young Bastids In The ***" syndrome, for those that don't know.
The drugs I need I am afraid [b]are illegal, but can be had for the right price.

quit spending all day playing oGame.
It's been said before: light is a big cue. And the comforting artificial light that goes along with the soothing hum of the ocmputer just doesn't do it, I'm afraid. Get outside for an hour or two each day, it helps. Other than that, take comfort in the fact that you're not alone. Wait, is that really comforting? >.>; Well, anyway, sunlight, go outside, play in the leaves and watch people step in dogpoo, it'll help ^^
