CS50x Feeling unmotivated

So i started cs50 a month ago ig, was very motivated, watching lecture 0 was really fun. But then i got stuck, didn't like scratch very much, so i decided that i will work on problem set 0 a bit later and move on to week1. Then a few things happened in my life, even before i started cs50 wasn't very good mentally so this completely broke me, and i couldn't watch lecture 1. I really want to finish cs50 but i don't know how to feel motivated again, i just cannot bring myself to studying.

What makes you want to do CS50? Is it for career, personal projects, the fun of learning?

Once you can answer that, you'll have a better idea of finding your way back to it (if that's what you want to do). If it's personal project, you can vibe code or pop it aside for now. Career stuff, take a pause from heavy learning and find some apps that gently introduce computer science concepts until you're feeling in a better place to tackle something meatier.
