I still haven't cleaned, bathed, or done anything productive. I need to do laundry, dishes and clean house. I can't even focus on my hobby projects it's so bad.

I've been trying to crank out more youtube videos but I just can't focus on it for more than a few minuets before I give up and lay back down.

I feel like my brain is fried and no I haven't been using drugs. But that's how I feel like a drug burn out.

im sorry you're having a one of those periods...please make sure you're eating and drinking water.
Maybe just set 1 goal for today; eg, take a bath instead of a shower so you can soak in a warm tub.

i hope you feel better soon!

What you're calling a burn out I'd call exhaustion. We can only realistically do so much. Try to set priorities and don't be hard on yourself. We don't get in these positions quickly and it takes time to recover. Short attention span? A med review might be in order.

period is almost over. Some times I have short periods.

I think that you probably are thinking about doing too much......

I TRY to make it a habit to do the dishes before I go to bed. If you keep on top of the dishes, they don't get overwhelming. It really only takes me about 5 minutes.....10 at the MOST.

I'm about to jump in the shower. Wanna have a race to see who gets theirs done first? Hahaha! C'mon.....c'mon.....
