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

Try some mindful meditation on YouTube. I’ve found it to really relax me!

I cannot help but feel exhausted as I go through life. It feels like I've lost the spark in me. And I'm pushing myself for no cause.

Rant
I'm really frustrated right now because once again I feel like I can't keep up with my own brain and I just can't keep doing this. I'm so tired of doing this. My head is always going and going and going and I just want to unplug it. It makes me so stressed. It's like I have someone else in my head who won't shut up and is always pointing everything I do out. Like I'm walking on eggshells around myself so I don't trigger these thoughts. But if I walk on egg shells then it just goes on about something else and I feel like I'm going crazy.. I feel so bad because it makes me so snappy. I want to bash my head in because I'm so over it. The only thing I know that helps is anxiety meds, because I had one one time and it actually really helped me (it didn't even do it's job! Because of how bad my anxiety is!! I'm just so desperate at this point for relief) But the last time I brought up going on meds for anxiety with my mom she said I'll get addicted, like my dad, or my grandma, or whoever else in my family because everyone in my family is addicted to SOMETHING. I don't see the issue in trying though. I feel like I'm someone who could really benefit from anxiety meds. I don't talk about my feelings often BECAUSE of anxiety, so it seems like I'm just trying to go on meds for no reason. But it's like..my body hurts. All the time. And my brain never stops. My brain is so messed up. I feel like I could do so much more if I wasn't like this. It's never going away, I've tried and I've tried and I'm still a mess. I just want it to stop. I'm not asking for much. I just want the fear to stop and the intrusive thoughts to stop and the racing thoughts and the feelings of doom and the nervousness and and I actually want to feel okay in my own skin for fucking once. I've tried everything nothing works im losing patience and I'm losing hope. I feel like there's something wrong with me. I feel like my brain is broken and that makes me sad to be honest. I feel like everyone around me can work. Why can't my stupid brain work???? I try so hard. I try so hard all the time. And it still doesn't do what it needs to do. I hate myself so much.
