Does anyone else feel drained no matter how much sleep they get?

I do. I'm perpetually exhausted by just existing. No temporary amounts of sleep can help me now. What I need is a permanent sleep for all eternity

I feel so tired everyday and I feel drained and exhausted, to the point where my eyes hurt. I wish that I could sleep forever and never have to wake up. Eternal sleep sounds so nice and peaceful…

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

do you really wanna go there?

Coincidentally, I bought Vitamin D 7000ui+B12 1000mcg+creatine, and a lot of supplements, I'm always tired and lazy the last time I felt like this was because of vitamin D, my mother bought it by accident among other supplements (D3 2000ui), and in 2 weeks the fatigue disappeared, one of the factors that is getting in the way of CTB besides ADHD, I need energy to plan, travel to buy the remaining items and finally seal the bathroom. (SN+CO)*

 

[Cakeisalie]

I can't even play my games for long, I get extremely sleepy, I lose consciousness while playing, the last time I was in this state was due to vitamin D deficiency, I haven't had any sun for years lol

 

[EvisceratedJester]

Yeah, it's really annoying. I've gotten used to putting up with it.

 

[bluebird16]

Me. I have awful dreams every night. I can't wake up well rested.

 

[divinemistress36]

Always exhausted one of the reasons I can't research ctb methods

Yes. I always feel drained and tired. The only time I'm at peace is when I'm sleeping or watching a comfort show. Even then, the Intrusive thoughts alway sneak in.
That's how I know I must ctb, I wake up crying from a broken heart and just feeling depressed. That's how I know this has to end for me.
The normal people who probably don't understand depression or simply doesn't know I'm depressed will ask "Did you get rest?" Or ask "You feel better now?" (Because they think my sadness is just a passing feeling.) I lie and say yes.

I feel so tired that I even considered using cocaine to keep me at work

I have ADHD as well. Maybe it's a factor in my sleep issues…

 

[luneylonegirl]

I feels like my battery life is sucks since covid even i never got covid. I also barely can sleep well, either sleep paralysis or nightmare. Living is sucks.

Cocaine is excelent for gaining short time energy lol
I used a couple of times when i was working, sounds great. The problem is when the effect is gone and there is the hangover /withdraw syntom

 

[Final_Choice]

Very, it doesn't matter if I get 3 hours, 8 hours, or 12 hours of sleep, I always feel incredibly drained and tired and nothing helps to stop it.

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

i sometimes beg whoever for 10 min sleep

 

[LunarCharm]

always tired but can't sleep most of the time, I just end up laying in bed
and then if I can sleep, when I wake up I'm too tired, and beg to be able to sleep more.

 

[Chronosphere]

My brain just commands me to shut down after my work, so I can't do anything except lying in bed. Unfortunately I can't sleep either so I just stare in the ceiling or youtube. Same thing for weekends. I really don't understand why can I function while I am at work, it's a mistery for me.

 

[26mmmm]

.

Yes. Because of quality of sleep and just being really unhealthy physically and mentally.

I use Ritalin and a lot of coffee, I only have a stock of benzos, maybe this week I'll buy ritalin or modafinil and some of the other medications on my list.

 

[sadlyexisting]

Yes, no matter how much sleep I get, it's the same feeling of exhaustion every single day. Nicotine and caffeine help me to feel a bit better, but I can't help but feel mentally tired. I would give everything just to feel alive again.

 

[Eternal Eyes]

When I was a kid, I could sleep about 3 or 4 hours and still feel refreshed, then when I got to about 14 I just began to feel fatigued all the time, finding getting out of bed (especially in winter) borderline impossible. Even now my sleep pattern is atrocious, I can sleep about 4 hours one day, and sleep about 8 hours the next.

Some nights I can be absolutely exhausted yet incapable of sleep, and if I sleep I can sometimes wake up and find the covers and duvets completely off the bed, I'm tempted to film myself sleeping as I imagine I must spin around over and over.

Honestly I feel like I've not had a good rest in months, probably since I last took promethazine, which I try to avoid taking as it's the only thing that seems to knock me out and I'd be fucked if I became numb to the effects of it.

 

[F@#$]

Yes,every day.

 

[Tixij]

yeah. ive felt exhausted since i was a kid. just permanent chronic fatigue. combination of obvious mental issues and then of course physical factors from "neglecting" my body

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Quality of sleep matters arguably more than quantity. REM sleep is the stage that matters most for making your body feeling restored. There are many factors that can interrupt this stage though and make it so that no matter how long you sleep it doesn't help you feel any less exhausted.

 

[Ulrich]

Yes. I'm too tired to function yet not tired enough to sleep. This is hell.

 

[lostmind38]

My nightmares are painful and scary. I wake up and don't want to go back to sleep. Whether I sleep 2hrs or 12, I always feel exhausted.

 

[dragonofenvy]

I'm always tired and can never sleep. I will sleep for on average 5 hours per day of "good" sleep and then can stay up for 20-60 hours while other people I know are dead once they're awake for 12 hours.

Is dreaming good or bad? Does it happen during REM sleep? I've read people say dreaming is not high quality deep sleep.

I don't know but if I had to guess it might just depend on what kind of dreams you're getting although it's more likely that the sleep quality is merely reflected in the dreams.
