Feeling quite low and tired at the moment. Struggling with getting myself motivated and feel as if I'm just dragging myself through the days. I'm trying not to think about it too much as it's that time of the month and my mood always dips considerably, but I'm finding that I cannot focus my attention on anything I used to enjoy at all, I feel completely disinclined and too tired to do anything I want to do.

Hey, i know how you're feeling as i've felt so much like this recently.
Sometimes it helps to create some simple routine(s) to your day/morning/evening. I don't know if you work or if you're in education but what i try to do is keep a drink of squash/juice by my bed each night, when i wake in the morning (sometimes that might not even happen, depending on how i'm feeling, but i advise setting an alarm for a reasonable hour), when you wake drink as much as you can as you often feel sleepy due to dehydration, not just exhaustion.
Get up and make your bed, tidy your room if needed and open a window.
This often helps me to set the tone for my day, when i have lots to do, i'll light a scented candle and make a herbal tea. My brain associates that with my routine for doing university work. These are just suggestions because they help me sometimes. Try to make plans with people doing the things you like. What kind of things are you into? Are you in a relationship currently?
