Anyone else feel tired and lethargic?

Sounds just like a typical day for me: internet, TV, bed, repeat. No energy, no ambition. No answers, either, I'm afraid. :sad:

I'm running out of groceries and other stuff, and I can't shift myself to get up and go to the store. Just don't care enough. :idontknow:

I have to go to the laundromat and do shopping today. But, I just don't have enough energy for the shopping part. Later on, I'll peel myself off my bed and go do laundry.

I hate this feeling of indifference and apathy. Every little thing feels like such a chore!

 

[Kiwong]

I feel like I can't shut down ot relax, like this manic energy that keeps on giving.

 

[TableFor1]

Yep, yuck... I woke up from a nap a bit ago with my heart racing like crazy... I think it was from the guilt of not doing anything constructive today. And to think this morning I felt really inspired, it went downhill from there.

I deal with this all the time. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking through a foot of wet mud with weights on my hands. If I'm lucky, I'll get a couple of hours a day when I truly feel awake so I try to take advantage of them when I can. Some days, however, are a total loss.

I feel like I'm walking through quicksand. Most days for me, seem to be a total loss. I'm lucky if I break even.

 

[cowboyup]

walking thru quicksand - good example!

Yup - I am doing the same this weekend...I just can't seem to gain the energy to do the simple stuff. I 'accidentally' went downstairs this morning to make some tea and SIL asked, "can you watch the kids while i shower" .... of course I said yes. Dang- at times I am SOOO passive, I piss myself off!

I did do my laundry, and the kids' laundry.
Maybe it's something the government is pumping into the air, lol!

conspiracy, I tell ya! :question:

That's depression taking a hold. It saps our energy out in ways we can't even identify.

ImNotMyIllness, I would suggest just going for a light walk. You don't even need a destination in mind - just around the block or to a nice park. It'll get your blood moving a little and you will feel better. Keeping your mind busy helps, too, which is something you're not doing. Eating better is a good start, so why not try a new recipe? It'll keep your mind active and you'll have something delicious at the end of it.

Good luck, mate.

Hot weather always makes me feel tired and depressed.

 

[Lamb]

What was meant to be a meditation session today turned into a Rumpelstiltskin sleep.

Yes, I oversleep all the time. Laundry day tomorrow!

 

[squidgee]

Same here, feel so unmotivated to do anything.

 

[mikebird]

Yep!

I get into and out of that mode quite regularly.

The last few days. When I have a lack of motivation I do go for a rest; a lie down. Usually within 5 minutes, I get bored of that and spring up to find any source of interest. I need something to get me going.

I think those 5 minutes is shuteye procrastination.

Searching for jobs and looking forward to meeting a prospective boss is the best thing. Weekends are terrible. I feel guilty of 'giving up' h: which is rare. TV is worst for keeping me up late. I need something good to consider for the next day. Job applications lead to response or I get periods of nothing back

A new experience is a lack of buying, making or eating food. A reason to get out of the house

Right now after this reply I'm heading for my gym. It can be tough to make the effort, but it's the absolute truth that I always get magical personal rewards for this, getting into the best mood of the day and best sleep at night.

A week ahead of medical appointments for wisdom tooth operation and an annual neurologist follow-up and a very different supplier of job-finding facilities.

This is how I feel AFTER I've done all my main responsibilities (work, class, some extracurricular activities). I have a hard time making myself do anything else because for some reason I feel exhausted from just that, and all I want to do is lay around and be lazy.

 

[nodejesque]

I completely understand. On my days off.. this is what I do. I read all day.... just lay in bed and read. Insomnia keeps me up all night.. and I toss and turn. Just thinking about how to get out of this state of mind. Im in a perpetual zombie mode. At work and school I live up to what's expected of me... but at home I just succumb to this heavy feeling I can't shake. Its times liked right now... when everyone is sleeping, and im stuck in my head that I really struggle with everything.

 

[PseudoLoneWolf]

There are periods that I become like this, lasts up to a week sometimes. I feel completely lazy and demotivated. It is a heavy phase of depression. I hate it.

As tired as I can be, I also have insomnia. At night, I'm all alone with my racing thoughts, trapped in my head.

I don't know if this could be the same for you, but in my case, if I spend all day in front of the computer (or the tv if you have one), it's 100% sure that I will feel tired and lethargic and that I will have trouble to sleep at night. If I avoid the computer but I spend some days not going to the gym, no matter how healthy I eat and how much I avoid computer screens, I will feel tired and lethargic. It's a vicious circle. You need to move.

Makes sense!

YES! It is depression. (Though I suppose that is obvious?) The many ways it sucks. Being online, in front of screens, yeah, saps all of our energy. We need fresh air. For me it is a big challenge to get out the front door. I make up all sorts of excuses too. Though I know I would feel so much better. I need energy to get energy. But I do have to start somewhere. I know this, I know this...I still don't do anything *sigh*
