Discussion Don't you ever just feel tired? Like not depressed or sad, but it just all feels tiring...

[intintint]

Pretty much the title.
I have not really felt suicidal or felt extremely bad for a while. But sometimes I just feel like I want to give up, not in a sad way. But in a "oh please not another day" way. The worst feeling is when you wake up, and all the data of your life and what you have to do loads in your brain I'm tired of the grind, I'm tired of having to try so hard to just be "ok" in life. It's all so stupid and absurd. Everyone tries so hard, and for what? I can feel happy but still feel that tiredness feeling. Is there a name for that?

I feel in a similar way. I am not particularly sad or anything, but helI am tired of it all. My suicidality mostly stems from this feeling of being tired of everything and not thinking it will improve. Quite related picture, but you know it probably already.

Nearly every time.

I think fighting with my inner criticism needs much more energy I can imagine. And dealing with my emotions. The whole life is only exhausting for me, speaking to people, brush hair, preparing meals, breath. If I speak a little more friendly to myself it is a little better with my energy. So I think I am my worst enemy. When I take enough Vitamin D it is also a little better.

Is there a name for that?

Melancholy maybe?

i feel like sisyphus at times, very sick of going through these motions

 

[jernmo]

All the time and I don't even do anything all day

 

[vitbar]

Bored, restless, tired, but not sad exactly. It's what has replaced my depressive episodes. Looking forward to my free time until I am actually free and feel trapped. Still better than how I was getting at my worst

 

[cme-dme]

It all feels very pointless, I relive the same day every day. I never know how to feel.

Near constant for me. I've heard some people call it ennui.

 

[Quietist]

All the fucking time.

Like exhausted.

I'm so tight and compressed from the years of stress and anxiety, but I can't "release" which is probably contributing to the exhaustion.

In my experience this tiredness sadly just increases with age. I think it's perhaps the weight of living.

I've heard some people call it ennui.

That's definitely a great word for it.

You know it. I feel this way all the time. What you're describing is very real and true to my experience.

Depression doesn't make me sad, instead I get extreme irritability, exhaustion and a horrible brain fog.

Yeah same. It's the daily grind. Even when I don't have the daily grind to contend with- work's slow at the moment, it's the anxiety then of not having it. The guilt of not complying. So, there's never really any rest for me. I'm either stressed and exhausted from doing work or, stressed and exhausted from not having work to do.

I have times when I'm deeply unhappy or, especially anxious but my prevailing emotion is just being fed up. I'm constantly reluctant to do the things I need to do and I'm frustrated because I don't like feeling the obligation to do them in the first place! Just like this profound dissatisfaction with life. And, even though my life has been easier than others- which people are always quick to point out- all the things we should be grateful for. I don't care or see it like that.

 

[FoxSauce]

Yes,happens most often even I can lay in bed at night overthinking to point of crying and even tho I sleep "well" , theres this heavy weight on me that it's frustrating.

I can do task like cleaning and stuff but not by choice mostly anxiety ,If I had a choice I would let everything rot.

Its exhausting I wouldn't want to wish it on anyone.
