Tired

[Dr.Sleep (Im tired)]

Anyone else have ambition and the mindset to be productive but you're just tired all the time? Ive lost the will to do shit, i literally just laid in bed the entire week and watched youtube videos. I feel i have so many ideas and things i want to say, but im too tired to do anything. Even when i do find the energy to execute some of my ideas, i find they arn't as grand as i imagined them to be.

I liked to program, i liked to write music, i liked to play video games, but everything just seams like a chore when im like this to be honest. everything is just so draining.

Oh well, dear reader if you read this far, thanks.

Are you on any medications? That sounds like a serious case.

Depression itself can do that I think. Maybe even some physical/body issues can create a large loss of energy.

what would you recommend doing?

I feel tired all the time from about 5 hours after waking up and motivation went down the drain some time ago. What has helped for need energy is Modafinil and similar but you can also try Energy Drinks, supplements.

I don't have the same issue really. Low motivation I do but if you were laying down almost all week that's something more.

Maybe schedule a doctor (as opposed to therapist/psychiatrist) appointment? Doing that will get you out as well, whenever it is for. And hopefully also find a reason.

You could describe what you said here to your doctor and ask if you can be screened for major depressive disorder / depression. Antidepressants don't work for everyone, and can take a while to kick in / find one that works, but it does work wonders for some and helps them to get back on their feet. They might also screen you for other things that may be causing depressive-like symptoms like hypothyroidism or vitamin deficiencies.

I feel this a lot. It's like, I have a desire to do fun activities and to make music and all that, but I have zero motivation. Thinking about the ideas I have for projects or all the things I enjoy just makes me feel depressed, I can barely answer when people ask me my hobbies because it just depresses me to think about them. It feels like I'm just stuck in this position of wanting to do things but also, on some level, not wanting to do them, and it feels contradictory and confusing and just awful.

Update:

Decided to get out of my house today. Honestly, i felt better after i decided to take a walk in the park. I'm still not energized, but i do feel quite a bit better.

I have the same issue. I feel so sleepy during the day. I still am forcing myself to go walk outside everyday but it's so hard sometimes (like today lol) :/

It seems that you have an incredibly low level of motivation and energy. Seems like it may be Seasonal Affective Disorder. I suggest seeking a professional since it sounds serious. I go through the same thing but medications were able to help. Since getting out of your house helps, you should do that whenever this happens again. Hope this helps.

same, i wanted meds but my parents discouraged me a lot to try it and scheduling the appointment while trying to work on personal projects sounded worse... i try to take daily walk/jog around dead hours 4-5am though it kinda reset if you fell asleep afterwards, well at least it felt like it on my case
