I feel so mentally drained
I don't feel like doing anything. I have so much mental fatigue that it's hard to even move. I have pressure in my head and I just feel so exhausted. I hate this.

i’ve been feeling this way lately too, my thoughts have put me into a deep depression, but keep pushing!! we can do this.
I use a nasal spray and an antihistamine, I feel much less head pressure and difficulty in motivation when I work it into my daily routine. And then I take more steps to gather my reserves. Do the smallest thing you can for yourself and see how that helps.
I think my issue is caused by an imbalance of bacteria in my gut due to antibiotics. I took them because I was prescribed for a UTI but now it seems like I'm having a lot of fatigue and very slight stomach tightness.
@BigGyro09 I really feel the difference when I take pre/prebiotic. I use cheaper ones even.
@InvitedMozart I read that that can help. I wouldn't be surprised if it's also the way I eat. I had symptoms before taking antibiotics though. Those symptoms are gone and now it's just bad fatigue. I don't know if I actually did or didn't have a UTI at this point. I'm just going with what my doctors told me.
@BigGyro09 A moment forms into another, one thing that's not constant is how we will feel about it. I hear that, and I know we do what we can. I hope you can start feeling on the mend real soon. Meds and healing can be a rough ride sometimes
@InvitedMozart Thanks. I just hope I can stop posting about it and get myself together.
Try some mindful meditation on YouTube. I’ve found it to really relax me!
Does anyone feel like they are stuck in place? I haven’t done anything besides lay in bed on my phone (if I’m 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 can’t motivate myself to get out of pajamas to go anywhere, and the entire time I’m 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. I’m tired.
I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression
Lately I just feel like I’m on the verge of losing it and I don’t know why. I feel so uncomfortable in my own body. Physically and mentally. Not due to insecurity but just that something isn’t right… I never feel good, I’m always fatigued, my head hurts all the time, but my blood work comes back fine so doctor’s will do nothing. I have anxiety and panic attacks and recently I guess depression since I’m always down. I have relationship OCD so my partner deals with me not being sure of him constantly and it breaks my heart. I don’t want to leave him because he’s great but half the time my brain is telling me he isn’t the one. I keep counting as well, constantly counting every letter in every word and every word in every sentence… it just feels like I’m gonna go insane one of these days and I’m scared. When I talk to someone about this, they have no clue what to tell me or how to help. Am I alone in feeling this way??
