Exhausted

[Spirit19]

I’m so exhausted I’ve been working 12 hour days for the past three weeks ... this isn’t helping anything 😭

No wonder why you wake up exhausted. Take some time for rest and self-care when you're not working.

[Hidden]

Don't you get days off

[Spirit19 in reply to Hidden]

No I don’t get days off during high season

Awww Spirit you poor thing 😥 you are overworked. You need a break!!

[Lakewolf]

I used to work those hours.

Make sure you feed yourself properly. Get a bottle of Nature Made Stress B vitamins. It’ll help your energy.

If you feel you need to sleep, make sure you’ve eaten first & waited a half hour for the food to digest. Take the Stress B daily with food.

I grew used to 60+ hours a week as a normal workweek, but I was in my 20’s.

Youth IS wasted on the young!

My depression is to the point where I forget to do things you need too do ... like showering eating ... small things people shouldn’t forget ...

[Lakewolf in reply to Spirit19]

I went for a week without showering. It took all my energy just to eat something... and for that, I had to write down reminders.

God bless you, honey.

I’m only 19 almost 20 and I feel like I’m losing my mind

[Lakewolf in reply to Spirit19]

I was so lonely at that age that I would’ve welcomed a burglar just to have human contact. Message me if you need to talk, ok? It may take me a bit, but I’ll always get back to you.

[Spirit19 in reply to Lakewolf]

I will admit I am lonely but I need to love myself before I can love someone else ... I don’t have any friends at all either .. all I do is work and sleep ... I feel useless

[Michael8072 in reply to Spirit19]

The same with me. Work home try to sleep. Doesn't always work for me. I don't have many friends. The ones I do have live far away. On top of that I keep getting sick which makes everything even worse. I'm ready to just toss in the white flag some days. I just want to hide out and disappear. I know that not the answer. But something has to change for me. I'm still trying to figure out that change. There's gotta be something more out there.

So I totally get what your saying. Your not alone. Hope things turn around for you. Big hug.

no..... you need to rest..... I hope your going to get some time to do that....and yet working kept my 'hamster wheel in my head' busy too....when I go through emotional stuff, I think too much sometimes, and having too much down time wasn't good either unless I was working on self improvement like therapy, group work, writing, gardening...etc. I had many years of working on being comfortable in my own skin and finding my own way in life. Being happy with who I was and actually believing I was capable of loving and being loved. I stopped shutting the world out and instead of being afraid to live life.... I started living it.

Establishing boundaries with family and people in general, not people pleasing, while also not being so caught up in my own problems, I was not able to see that others have problems too...I had to learn to be aware that my stuff wasn't so important that everyone else's didn't matter too. I had to learn to think before I reacted...and act when I needed to change things that were hurting me in my life.....it just is a check and balance for everyone. You'll be okay kiddo.... and some day you will look back on this time in your life and it will just all be a memory.....you will find a way...your strong..
