writer's block and motivation to write

I feel like, today, I have no motivation to write. I feel empty where the words usually are. I feel shaky and depressed, but at least I got sleep last night. I wanted to continue my “What Does The Bible Say About Anxiety And Depression?” post series, but I just don’t have the energy to force myself to make a good post. I want to make sure that post series stays strong, so writing when I have no motivation would ruin it.

So what do I write about today?

It’s not writer’s block, that’s for sure. I have plenty of posts I want to make, and several different ideas are swirling around in my head. But my depression is slowing everything down and my energy levels have come to a grinding halt. It doesn’t help that I haven’t eaten anything yet today (I got busy with other stuff and forgot breakfast).

It’s weird, because physically, I feel okay (aside from the shaking). I don’t feel nauseous or dizzy, just blurry. The sun is out and shining, so you’d think I’d be in a good mood. Sunshine always helps. Maybe it’s a sign that I just need to rest and take the day off, work on some other projects for fun, like transplanting my indoor garden to the outdoor one.

Maybe I’ll feel like making a better blog post later today. Maybe I just need more coffee. Maybe I need some inspiration. I hate feeling lazy, and right now, I feel like a slug.

I hate these kinds of days.
