try to distinguish what has been causing you to feel so tired inside. write a list of all the things that you do/or think that make you feel mentally drained. that way you can physically see a list of things that are making you feel this way and you can begin to think of ways to remove yourself from those situations. here for you fruitpunchš§”

I use eft tapping and nature relaxation videos on YouTube helps tremendously and I use superfoods and eat healthy and try to walk and watch funny videos or things I like I wish I had people to chat with because that helps having support and a nice time talking about neat things helps

Does anyone feel like they are stuck in place? I havenāt done anything besides lay in bed on my phone (if Iām not at work) for almost a year now. I have the desire to go out and be a part of the world, but I feel like my body is glued to my bed. I canāt motivate myself to get out of pajamas to go anywhere, and the entire time Iām out (even just at the store) I just want to be home in bed. I mainly just DoorDash food now, when I can convince myself to eat. Iām tired.

Hello, everyone. This is my first time posting on here, so I am very grateful for any insight or feedback that I may be able to receive. For decades, I have battled with what I can best describe as a compulsion to reset/restart my life and personality, and it is very hard to manage. While the timeline had varied and evolved over the years, on average, I have āresetā myself every week or so for about twenty-five years (I am currently thirty-six). Resetting has evolved over time, too, but it involves a lot of time devoted to putting things back to a baseline with my phone, computer, car, odometer, clothes, etc., as well as performing a lengthy ritualistic sequence of events the following day. These things allow me to mentally reset myself as though I am a character in a show, and the next morning is the first scene of the first episode. I tweak parts of my personality, and of course none of it ever sticks. I will purposefully put off progress in work and my personal life in order for those things to be credited to the new me with my upcoming reset. Iāll finally start exercising and dieting properly? Nope - I have to wait for the next reset. Iāll finally clean the house and be productive? Nope - next reset. Iāll knock out these work projects Iāve been putting off for a long time, or these personal projects Iāve always wanted to do for years - just kidding, wait for the reset. Naturally, every single time I reset, I am convinced that this is the final reset, and will be the permanent meā¦rinse and repeat thousands of times. Of course, very few of the things I put off for a reset actually happen for longer than a day or two, and then itās back to delaying. Itās supremely frustrating. Anywayā¦does anybody have any sort of similar experience or insight? Iām having a hard time communicating it, but the impact of it over a quarter century now is pretty maddening.
