I think that's depression. I went through a phase like that too 2020 and parts of 2021. It's hard deal with but had to force myself to do things. And constantly tell myself my body works. It helps to give your self small tasks. Not pressure to do that but kinda I was say stuff like " I would rather have brush my teeth now then do it later" or " well if I'm going to be lazy, I can do a load of laundry now, sleep then fold later, it's fine." Literally convinced to pick and chose what I would rather tho then stay in bed. I hope it help.

Thank you. But are you currently taking antidepressants?

Unfortunately no, I have really bad panic attack when ever I try a new one. But that's just me. I hope you find some hope and energy to keep going.

I can relate to that. The constant exhaustion, sadness, mental tiredness. I'm going through the same condition.
