I have dragged myself out of my pit of despair.
Rather than avoid work which is what you do when you are feeling low, I decided to actively seek out work on the project. People then saw I was motivated and gave me more work which made be feel more valued and hance more motivated.
If you finding yourself demotivated, drag yourself out of your cycle of despair and go get some work. Even unappealling tasks can be fun if approached with the right attitude.
I must stop drinking the caffeine.
The interesting thing is the work is the same. The difference is my attitude toward the work. I'm having more fun now and the work seems more fun as well. I'm avoiding negatives and looking for positives.
