Question Posted Saturday November 24 2007, 8:35 am
I'm so exhausted by life, you guys. Do you ever just get tired of doing things? Of thinking and loving, and crying, and working, and watching.. just living. Everything you do - doesn't it ever just make you want to "not exist" ? Even the positive stuff, the bright side of life - it's exhausting sometimes, isnt it?
I just THINK so freakin much about who I want to be, how to be a good christian, how to get the good grades, how sad I am about my looks, how Im supposed to stop looking for love and recognition.. Is it possible to take a break from your brain somehow? Just STOP thinking for a while?
I understand that I have to keep functioning, doing what's expected of me (like eating, sleeping, going to school) but is it possible to just do all these things for a while WITHOUT having to freaking think so much?

I don't know about your school, but my school allows us to have 5 days absences for vacations or family emergencies etc. So ask your parents if it was possible to take a week off of school and go somewhere you would think is paradise. For me, that is in Miami beach, Florida. Some people think going skiing in the mountains is a vacation, some people think relaxing by the beach is a vaction... whatever vacation is for you, ask your parents if you could go and just relax. No worring about school, or what to eat, or what movie to watch next.
If it's not possible to go on vacation... make sure you get plenty of rest. If you don't get enough rest, that can cause a lot of depression (tiredness in your case) Make sure you're getting plenty of vitamins and minerals. Every morning I have to take a Vitamin C drink. I love it because it gives me a boost of energy in the morning. DON'T drink cafeine in the morning (coffee, pop) or any sugary items (chocolate) it may seem to boost your energy and make you hyper, but after like 10 minutes... you just crash down and burn.
If its none of these... go to the doctor. You may have what I had- mono. It makes you tired all the time and it makes you feel lazy all the time.
Before you go to the doctors though, try going outside for fresh air. Take a walk, go biking, work out... just get fresh air. It always helps me wake up and get pumped.
