Question?

tinyamazon September 10th, 2021

Does anyone else have trouble taking showers and caring for themselves? I haven't the energy do do more then watch something. Recently I have just been working and the getting home and basically passing out. My boyfriend wakes me up to eat then tries to watch something or talk and I just end up back asleep. Ugh am I alone here?

Hello!
I can definitely relate. If it wasn't for people living with me (family), I'd have probably have no energy or motivation to take care of myself.
I'm sorry you're struggling with this. Staying asleep mostly unless eating or working sounds rough.
You're not alone.
Is there anything that helps you cope? Are you aware of anything that might be possibly a cause for this?
Sending you love. <3

Yeah mass stress. Im a recovering addict and that was my way if coping. I'm two years clean but it gets real bad around my birthday. I cut off everyone to stay clean so only really have my boyfriend who's amazing and understand and supportive but it's alot for him. Tho he'd never say. That though alone causes more stress. My job is just a place to make money and I really don't enjoy it. But with my depression and lack of support system I'm not comfortable changing that aspect. Last time I did I relapsed. So that's a bit. I'm so tired all of the time and I don't really feel present when I'm awake. It's a bit. That isn't all days but most of them. Sorry it's alot and thank you.

Hi again, amazon!
A lot of stress can definitely feel very overpowering.
Cutting everyone off to stay clean can be so hard, I also see how why you'd do that. I'm glad you've got an understanding and supportive boyfriend. You deserve all the support you can get. I understand the feeling of all the struggle "being a lot" for our loved one(s).
I'm sorry to know your job being a source of money but not really satisfying. It makes sense to not feel that comfortable changing that aspect given the circumstances.
It can be tough feeling very exhausted most of the days.
Since when have you been feeling like this? Have you been in a similar situation before?
