Hey folks,

Having a bit of a dip in my life at the moment and feeling a bit down, due to the lack of self motivation I've had for a while.

I'm Luke and I'm 17 from the UK and I'm currently doing at college retaking GCSE english, and doing National OCR Business and AS Music Technology.

I pretty much screwed up getting kicked out of school when I was 15 because I simply never bothered to do any work. At the moment all I have is a C in GCSE maths. I have absolutely no idea what I want to do as a career, I want to leave my options open but I just simply can't motivate my self to get my work completed at college.

I've been told I'm very capable knowledge wise and I'm a very verbal person at expressing my knowledge verbally. It's just motivating myself to get it down on paper. I simply cannot motivate my self to do something that I find boring or do not enjoy.

Some of my hobbies include,

Design
Music Production (visit my myspace I produce UK Hardcore, which is a form of rave music - myspace.com/djxbondy
Raving
DJing

I'm sure theres a few things that I could add to my life to make me generally happier such as a girlfriend but I have yet to find a half decent girl that I remotely understand.

Anyways, if any of you have had or have similar problems as me share your thoughts as I'm sure it can help all of us.

My situation is very similar to yours, accept i starting off working hard and gradually gave up and am still in school. I have no motivation to sit down and spend 3 hours on writing a history essay on "to what extent did Gladstone's second ministry reflect the principals of Gladstonian Liberalism?" none of it seems important - just an excuse to delay making a decision on what i want to do for a career.

I have had motivational problems. Difference is it's all apart of the disorder i am being diagnosed for.

It may be just the way you are. I never wanted to do it.
