I'm always more motivated when things are going well. When I'm depressed, I tend to say f it. I can't be bothered.

For example, for me, if I was single and depressed over it, I'd fail. A lot of pro athletes lose focus when a chick is in the picture, but I'm the opposite. I remember there was a patch where the wife and I split (then girlfriend) and I was trying to play tennis, and shit, I could barely bring myself to run to a ball. lol. I was pretty much EXACTLY like this...
