You are obviously someone that finds it difficult to motivate them selves. This might be as a consequence of your various dependencies. Or your mental health. Or it might be something entirely independent of these factors. And so finding the
root of it might be the best way to proceed. Or else you are forever destined to be attacking the symptom not the cause

I also think there may be a conscious or sub conscious over reliance upon using us as a sounding board because it is the
easiest thing to do. Though you have made some progress I see so for that credit to you. But if you were not a member
of the forum and had no one to sound off to would it motivate you into trying harder? Something to think about maybe

And regarding motivation : nothing is going to make you do any thing unless you are already sufficiently motivated in
the first place. Even if you are not particularly enthusiastic about it you still can do it if the motivation is there. You
can shout just do it all day long till you lose your voice. But if it is all you can do then it is self defeating. Ultimately
it has to come from within you. If it is not there all efforts will be in vain
