hello and welcome to the forums...
It sounds like you’re really stuck right now, and that’s a horrible place to sit in.
Being underemployed or unsure of the next step doesn’t mean you’re lazy. To me it is an indication that you’re human and going through a rough patch.
You don’t have to spend money or have an internship lined up to start moving forward.
Do you feel you can share a little more about your story?
Every small step counts, and reaching out here can be seen as a positive... wanting to change things around. Listening if you want to chat some more.

Hi Moody,
Here's a few things that have helped me when in a rut: I often like to set my desk up for work and then go for a walk - when I get back I find it easier to get into gear. Sometimes journalling will help too, as it will allow me to explore what may be holding me back.
