Lately, whenever I am not working, I feel tired all the time and unmotivated to do anything. Even things I like doing. I almost have to force myself to do these things. It’s quite difficult. I don’t even know if it’s a good idea. However, I want to get my life to a point where I am happy with how things are.
What can I do, when I still have to meet the demands of life? I’m honestly struggling a lot with getting normal daily chores and self-care tasks done. This has in part, been going on for some months now. I was previously in a job that was quite unfulfilling. Even now, I don’t like what I’m doing but it is a little better. I have an idea on what I want to do in the future. But it will require a year or two, to reach properly.
In the meantime, I have to attempt to self-regulate, which is really difficult. While taking on some new challenges at the same time. Not to mention, social demands as well. I want time off from work for awhile, but I can’t take it off. I will be getting time off a bit into next year. For now, I just have to put up with the demands I have to reach. Living independently has a degree of strain to it. But it’s better than living with my parents.
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can manage this? I don’t know how I’m going to manage my way through these things. I’m honestly dreading it.
It might be just a light depression (from unfulfilling jobs most probably), which, yes, if left untreated, can become more serious. I’d advise you to see a psychiatrist (not a therapist), describe the symptoms and see what he/she has to say. Perscription medication can have just the right nudge to push you in the right direction 😉. I’ve been strggling with depression for many years and I’ve been on meds on and off… it is what it is 🤷… today’s world, the harshness of it, combined with the lack of empathy from others, constant rise in tech and the demand for it, which alienates people even further… it all contributes. In the end, everyone reacts to it differently, some like it, some turn to full blown workoholics, some just get depressed 🤷.
Psychiatrists and psychologist do different things. I benefit greatly from both rather than any of them separately.
Agreed, that’s why I specifically said psychiatrist, because psychologists can’t perscribe meds. Sure, he cam visit both, no harm there.
*Empathy, homie.
Typo, corrected 👍.
