Not Unmotivated Just Overwhelmed Shirt Tee
Not Unmotivated, Just Overwhelmed – Story Collection Tee
If your brain feels like it has 47 tabs open and someone keeps clicking “next task,” this one’s for you.
The Not Unmotivated, Just Overwhelmed tee is part of our Story Collection: designs created from real mental health experiences, meant to say what we usually keep inside. It calls out the truth behind the “you’re just lazy” comments and gives you simple, honest language for what’s really going on.
Wear it on the days when your to‑do list feels impossible. Wear it when you’re tired of being misunderstood. Or wear it to gently educate the people around you that overwhelm and lack of motivation are not the same thing.
- Printed on a soft, modern‑fit Bella+Canvas tee you’ll actually want to live in
- Honest, conversation‑starting message that helps explain what overwhelm really feels like
- Part of our Story Collection, featuring our most meaningful, lived‑experience designs
- Perfect for work‑from‑home days, therapy days, or any day you’re done pretending you’re “just being lazy”
Every order helps us continue our mission to break the stigma around mental health and create apparel that helps people feel seen instead of judged.
You’re not unmotivated. You’re overwhelmed—and that deserves understanding, not shame.

For years, I've struggled with explaining to people why I can't keep up with them. They'd say i was unmotivated or making excuses, but the truth is I was just completely overwhelmed. When I found the "Not Unmotivated, Just Overwhelmed" shirt from Awareness Attire, I literally felt tears in my eyes. Someone finally understood. This is more than apparel, this is advocacy and I am hear for it.
Bought this in the Autumn color which looks amazing. So many people have stopped me in this shirt. Awareness Attires mission works. Will buy more.
I saw this shirt and had to have it. I feel like the sloth all the time due to anxiety. Soft material and durable.
I get stopped so often with this shirt. So many people relate to the message. Super comfy and fits well.
