Sorry for mental health kind of question, but I do not know better place to ask about this stuff.
Nowadays, I lie down on a bed and just watch twitch streams all day, with a little bit of browsing lemmy in between. I do not want to do anything, pretty much any activity seems to cause exhaustion. So, I just do bare minimum and return to bed, watching twitch for over 5 hours.
Another is that I feel I cannot do anything good enough. I cannot study effectively, cannot do menial tasks without being stressed. This is especially concerning for me because I am taking a graduate program, but I also doubt I could do any kind of real work. I just don’t think I have capability to read complicated texts and remember it clearly, write a decent piece of literature on some subject, or just about anything at all.
Is this related to addiction - can addiction make me feel exhausted all the time? Also, how can I escape this permanent lethargy? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Sounds like me, I was diagnosed with depression.
You might want to see a doctor. Maybe medication, maybe therapy, maybe other forms of, what I consider to be experimental treatments, like TMS or ECT, do not try the last 2 until you’ve exhaused your options.
I’m still dealing with depression, medications no longer works, might need to keep trying different medications. Ugh its rough. I feel you.
(Also, did you ever get infected with Covid? That can also cause cognitive issues. Other health problems can also cause depression and brain fog.)
