Occasionally I have these days where I don’t feel like doing work or chores. So I’m thinking, why not just enjoy myself, do something that interests me?

But then I don’t find any motivation to do anything really. Not even the things I normally enjoy very much.

Typically I would then waste time browsing or watching videos, but that seems to make it worse. How to snap out of this?

    I have days like this.

    I’ve discovered that I have an easy time doing things I kinda enjoy but not very much (video games, reddit), but I avoid things I really love (playing music, traveling, cooking).

      Yeah, I also tend to postpone things that I love during these moments, possibly because I feel like I would not enjoy them fully.

        I just think deep down a part of me think I don’t think I deserve real joy

          Yeah, I feel you. How would you even counter this kind of feeling. Like everytime you are happy, you wouldn’t even allow yourself to really enjoy it. Because you feel like you don’t deserve it.
