Posted June 12Jun 12 Some days I wake up already exhausted. Even when I’ve rested, my brain still feels full. I feel guilty for not doing more, but maybe just getting through the day is enough. Does anyone else get that?
June 12Jun 12 I relate to this so much. There are days where I wake up and already feel like I’ve run a marathon, just from existing. It’s frustrating, especially when there’s nothing obvious causing it. And the guilt is real.feeling like we should be doing more, even though we’re already pushing through so much mentally. But I think you're right, getting through the day is enough. Some days surviving is the win. You're not alone in this at all.
June 13Jun 13 When you're dealing with mental health, it can manifest in other ways, like physically. It's like your mind and body shut down. Of course, I never sleep well because of it and that makes me exhausted in more ways than physical.
June 15Jun 15 Indeed. I am hard on myself for not being more "productive ", but thank you guys for the validation and empathy of the fact that mental illness and physical illness can be literally draining, and often even facing a shower can feel like Everest...
June 16Jun 16 Yes exactly @Autumn75. I have to motivate myself to do anything. Cooking instead of eating out, etc.
