Tired of being tired

FruityLoop

I am tired all the time regardless how much sleep I get. It is hard to motivate myself to do even the simplest things. All my friends have moved away also. I have no social life partly because of that and partly because I don't even have the time to socialize if I wanted to. My life feel repetitive, same thing day after day.i have no enjoyment in anything anymore. What is the point in living if you are just 'living to work and not working to live?' 



I know there's a lot of random things here, but that's just how I'm feeling.

Hi Tired. Have you had your thyroid checked? I have been a tired person my whole life. I have issues with weight and a messy house. I have no desire to clean. I have been on thyroid medicine for about 40 years. I am finally trying to take it the right way. I have been following Dr. Daniel Amen. He is amazing. There is a thyroid specialist with the last name of Childs that I have been following too. Anyway, don't let anything get you down for long.

Hey friend, I certainly know the feeling of always being tired. I don't get as much sleep as I should be but I feel its more so that even when I sleep I don't really rest. I don't know if that makes sense but that's how I feel. My friends are also starting to move away and I don't have much of a social life outside work. I'm in this spot just like you where I don't have any drive to do anything, not even the slightest inkling. I know I should be going to the gym (or working out overall), eating healthier, doing my college work, etc but I just find no drive. All I can say (and something I am trying myself) is to take the smallest of steps forward to try to find momentum again. I hope that helps but please know that I understand where you are, or at least a little bit. I'm certainly here if you want to talk, friend!

Falcon05 it's nice to know someone else is in the same spot as me too. I just don't know what to do with myself. I can't snap out of it.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
