What can I say other than exactly the above? There's simply no other way to put it.

Any advice guys? Anything you do or think to get yourself going again?

Edit: Probably need a little more backstory.

Last night, I went to sleep as late as I usually do, but this morning I woke up much later, and I couldn't even get myself out of bed. I had to just lie there. I wanted to get out, but I just couldn't make myself do it. On top of that, I just can't be bothered to do my holiday homework, even though I only have a couple of days left. Something just clicked, I've been trying to hold it together but I think I just fell apart again.

It could be just a temporary loss?

You won't always be motivated. Trying to ensure you are motivated at all times will truly only drive you crazy. Let yourself fall for some time because it is positively going to happen every once in a while. Then, gather yourself after enough time has passed and you will feel rejuvenated to work again.

Basically, give yourself a short break without trying to be motivated, and only allow this for as long is necessary.

Sometimes, you will lose motivation with no reason. It's normal, but you have to trust that you can find it again later.

I actually cant count how many times thats happened to me its the worst feeling on the planet a big hug to you and i hope you will feel better at some point

The way I usually pick myself up is i think of something that i WILL DEFINITELY do that day and focus on that, and that can help
