I lack more motivation than ever, and watching what that's doing to me is making me even less motivated to fix it.
I don't really do anything anymore.
Once upon a time, you had stated some wish to finish your degree or continue your education. What about that?

Hi! I'm doing fine, the nature of my being gives me a layer of consciousness where my emotional regulation should be which let's me be unaffected by all the hurt i've caused if I so choose it. Sometimes when I'm confronted I feel bad, but otherwise I'm a selfish, sadistic and cowardly individual who uses other people for my own gain!

What do you do when you wake up?
Unless you're suffering from a chronic condition like depression, motivation can be trained by avoiding easy stimulation like (social) media first thing after sleep! Motivation is like a well which refills daily. And it runs out before the day is over if you succumb to easy stimulis,

Such a gargantuan task might seem to daunting if you're struggling to do anything anymore.

I'm still sitting on a year's worth of college debt, and that'd be asking for like four more at least to stack on top of it. Then I'd need to work in that field, which, while I love it, does risk sanity decay when I can't even watch certain youtubers without some mild contagion risk.
At this point I'm working on trying to be less blatantly agoraphobic, but even the motivation to get out of bed's been surprisingly rough these days. I've found myself in a repetitious enough cycle as well to the point of time passing abnormally quickly.
The solution is obviously "go out and do stuff", but I feel tired by default if not hyperactive enough to burn out and I can't really conceptualize motivation so much as witness myself wish I'd do more.
So I had to do a telehealth call over my situation to see if I should or shouldn't be still getting SSI payments. What began as a sort of imposter syndrome over my own disorders to the point of worrying about not having funds anymore became me becoming increasingly hyperactive and panicky during the telehealth interview.
By the end of it she strongly advised I seek mental health assistance, just like my last two assessments. Wheeee...

Obviously, motivation is kind of in the same area of problem as ADHD or executive function control: you already need the thing in order to get the thing. Other than pinning yourself to some obligation or strategically cornering yourself into having to do something (which is one way to circumvent the pull-back of anti-motivating motivation), finding a goal that is at least interesting and worthwhile is about all that I can think to suggest at the moment. Even the goal of going back to school, while you think of the obstacles right away, a change of mind might consider them more challenges (that are quite possibly able to be overcome, which you'd only know if you tried), and you wouldn't have to overwhelm yourself all at once with the project, doing it incrementally as you can manage. It gives you something to do out of the routine. If it's to get yourself out of a rut, usually it takes some labor and strategic driving to get out, metaphorically speaking. In any case, even if difficult or unpleasant, it's a good goal to try keeping things INTERESTING as the primary motivator.

I don't really find anything worth doing right now though.
Even the things I like doing take pushing myself right now, or a certain level of mindless repetition. When doing it mindlessly I'm not enjoying it either, I'm just doing something with my time.

Going back to school pushes my debt a lot higher without the promise of success, and I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to looking into that kind of thing.

"Or I can do nothing" keeps winning that debate, and I'm not even sure why.
