motivation

[river82]

Hey.

Question.

Do you suffer from lack of motivation? Specially at work? Cos i am, and i can't tell if it's my job or if it's a "trait" of my BPD. Grr...

I'm a smart girl, but my job is unstimulating, and i'm feeling unmotivated to do the work i have. I think i need encouragement, i need to feel like what i do matters to someone, like someone's happy with me.


I'm also having a hard time this week, and i'm going to start seeing a counsellor or someone again soon. A little prayer would be appreciated.

Another thing.

Do you ever feel a gap between your IQ and your EQ? Like you understand a situation with your mind, but you're emotionally irrational, and you feel so dumb cos you know better but you just feel how you feel and it hurts? Is this a BPD thing or is this just me?

I hate it. Hate hate hate it.

What you are describing was me for a long time. I had to go to grad school and pursue my dream career before I felt satisfaction on the job. I just can't work that job full time right now for personal reasons.

IQ vs. EQ? Definitely. I had head knowledge a long time before I grasped things emotionally and was able to change.
