What is 'loss of motivation'?

You might experience loss of motivation as a reluctance to undertake an assignment or project, or attend a lecture or tutorial. As a result of loss of motivation you may be thinking about withdrawing from a subject, or taking leave from university for a semester,  for a year, or ‘forever’.

You may experience loss of motivation as if it were a lost object or a lost friend. You might feel:

• anxious
• confused
• frustrated
• angry
• uncertain
• depressed
