Sorry for mental health kind of question, but I do not know better place to ask about this stuff.
Nowadays, I lie down on a bed and just watch twitch streams all day, with a little bit of browsing lemmy in between. I do not want to do anything, pretty much any activity seems to cause exhaustion. So, I just do bare minimum and return to bed, watching twitch for over 5 hours.
Another is that I feel I cannot do anything good enough. I cannot study effectively, cannot do menial tasks without being stressed. This is especially concerning for me because I am taking a graduate program, but I also doubt I could do any kind of real work. I just don’t think I have capability to read complicated texts and remember it clearly, write a decent piece of literature on some subject, or just about anything at all.
Is this related to addiction - can addiction make me feel exhausted all the time? Also, how can I escape this permanent lethargy? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I’m gonna say something different from the other comments and call it a burnout. You ran out of mojo. Need a refuel. Gotta find meaning again and let it power you up.
That can happen easy and fast or slow and difficult. It’s up to chance. In general, people pick up a hobby or take up sports and then do everything else in order to support that joy. More rarely, some people choose activism as joining something greater than themselves drives them to push past this state of couch potato ism.
