How the hell do people stay productive? My brain occasionally and randomly just decides to stop giving me any motivation to do anything for days to sometimes weeks at a time. Do other ppl with normal lives not have this happen? What is wrong with my brain?

And by not motivated it's like, my income is dropping a lot cause I'm not keeping up with advertising or shooting content. I'm not responding to messages people are sending me, I'm abandoning projects I set for myself

Are you depressed?

I don't think so? Whenever I read depression symptom lists they all involve stuff like feelings of worthlessness and sadness and I don't have any of that.

Sounds like ADHD (probably primarily inattentive expression/type). It *certainly* sounds like me.

Years ago, my energy was declining, I started doing really poorly in school, stopped all my cool side programming projects, etc. I didn't feel sad or worthless - it was more like my brain felt "flat", and my mind and body was in low-power mode.
