Exhausted

[smc1972]

I am not sure why I am writing this really. I guess my brain is telling me to get it out or something.

I am so exhausted and feeling run down right now. I have not slept very good in a while. Last night i was in bed for 11 hours did not get out of bed until 9:30 this morning. Tonight i crawled into bed at 7:45 and just want to close my eyes. My head hurts my eyes hurt just really tired of being like this.

I know things are just going to harder on me as his move out date gets here in two weeks. I know things will get better eventually but at times i do loose that belief. I hope one day I truly will feel better, happier and mood stable.

One day at a time. That is all you can do. Things will get better, but right now you are stuck in the middle of hurricane. Cling that belief and keep working on that goal and you will get there. Take care.

Hi.

I am so exhausted and feeling run down right now

I totally understand. I don't know your circumstances but I can so understand the feeling. In 2014 I gave up and the abuse I suffered in my childhood up until I was nearly 24 years old caused my mind to retreat inside myself, I stayed in my bedroom for nearly a year not coming out for anything other than required doctor visits. My bedroom had a master bathroom and my husband brought my meals to the room. I lay on the bed after my morning shower just waiting to die with the memories of my abuse playing over and over and over in my head. The way I got out of it was my husband on the advice of my doctors first set up a TV with movie programs so as I lay in bed I would be forced to watch them. Then when I became more interested he set up my Xboxs in the room and I played games all day again while never leaving the room. To make the story short, my husband then introduced a candle making set up in our bedroom to get me even more interested in life. All this time he was working 12 hour night shifts trying to sleep during my awake time. My only point is there is hope. Hope for you. Please find something, anything that keeps you happy and engaged. You are tired but withdrawing from life takes so much more to come back from. I wish you the very best. Best wishes for everyone and hugs to those who would like them. Scottie

Thank you for the message. I tell myself it will get better just takes time. I try to keep plowing ahead but man does it get exhausting. Then something comes along and knocks me down. I know the support from friends, here and my T is what is keeping me going. Allowing support from others is not one of my strong suits.

You have an amazing caring loving husband. I thought i had that but tuns out i didn’t.

Thank you again for the words.

Hang in there, get rest when you can, protect yourselfand visualize coming out of this and time will be a healer for you.

Could be burnout if you’re trying to do too much all at once. I get hit hard by burnout if I end up doing more than I can handle and it’s worse than for most people because I’m autistic. I had to quit taking martial arts classes because trying to keep in my schedule while working two jobs was becoming too much for me and I became exhausted and lethargic. Sometimes you just need to stop whatever you are doing and take a long rest. There’s no shame in resting as the alternative is you end up having some sort of mental health meltdown and end up hospitalized.
