No energy, no passion, no want to continue

I dont know whats been happening but I have been absolutely drained for the last few months. No matter how much sleep or meditation time I get my body and mind stay foggy, sluggish and the suicidal thoughts have more room to creep in. I've tried switching my diet and trying to exercise more but with my work/ school schedule I have no time except super later or early in the morning and I already struggle to be up at 5am for work 4 days a week.


I know I'm not fat but I FEEL fat for not exercising as much as I want to. I feel empty all day everyday and I'm getting stress dreams regularly. Dreams about my hair, teeth and skin falling off me. Dreams about deciding to drown myself.

are you under the care of a Pdoc? Are you on mess? Perhaps it is time for an adjustment?

Imiru, I am sorry you are feeling this way! This isn't usually the type of answer I would suggest... but it sounds like spirits to me. I don't know if you believe in that type of thing.

When my Uncle became suicidal a few years ago, I also became suicidal. But we weren't talking, I didn't know what was going on with him. Leading up to his death (he lost the fight, sadly, and committed suicide) I was suicidal and then for months afterwards.

You need a good spirit cleansing, but of course all the other normal healthy options are important too! Make sure you take time to you. Time to stay still, time to be silent, time to listen.

I hope you feel better <3

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now with school, work, and all other responsibilities that you have. Anxiety and feeling overwhelmed are often the catalysts to push me into having negative thoughts and depression. I know that I have to look for things that I can cut out of my schedule, even little things, that will allow me time for self-care. Self-care is so important for our mental, emotional and physical well-being. Without it, we suffer in so many ways. I know it's easy to think we can't cut things out, but I've found that there is often at least 1 thing (Ie: social media time, tv watching among many more.) Replace a bit of time with exercise, meditation etc instead of doing those things. Could you cut down on work hours? Drop a class? I would highly recommend talking to a therapist as well. Sometimes just talking and gaining another's insight can be helpful in helping us climb out of the downward spiral. Wishing you the best!
