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 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!

I don’t want to do this anymore
I’m struggling so much, I don’t know what’s changed. I was doing so well for a solid two months and now it’s been over a month of just my lowest point. My bf has gotten upset at how much I do compulsions and it’s taxing him too. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be my partner right now. I feel exhausted I’m tired of my OCD finding new things to obsess or worry over. I’m so TIRED of getting stuck on technicalities. I’m so exhausted with the constant intrusive thoughts and intrusive thinking. I’m so sick of how compulsive I get when I’m so riddled with anxiety. I don’t want to keep pushing. It feels pointless if my life is going to be a constant loop of ups and extreme lows. I feel like such a disgusting, embarrassing person. I don’t want love because I don’t feel like I deserve it. I don’t want patience or understanding because it makes me feel so guilty. Like no one is understanding how bad of person I could truly be. I’m so lost and tired of this

Just feeling tired
So over all of this. Why do periods have to make everything so much worse. I keep thinking that I can get over an intrusive thought and then the next one comes in. My brain tries to make be obsess over something that i've already obsessed about and moved on from. Wish this could be over.

Extreme fatigue and lack of motivation
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.
