Signs You're Mentally Tired, Not Lazy
video description
I am middle-aged and have been fighting these battles for decades now. I had no real life at a point in time when most others of a comparable age did. In my early 20s, I watched other people my age going to college, building relationships, having fun. At that time, I was struggling just to hold a job and pay my rent. And then?
Same thing, on and on and on. over the years the damage has accumulated. A failed marriage, always living on the edge of poverty because holding a job demands so much of me. A multitude of failed relationships of one kind of another. I fit every single one of these signs. But still people judge me.
They just don't get it. Yes, a conscious act of will and focus can overcome a lot of things. But the mind and body have a baseline safety/functionality level. Every time you push them past that level. yeah, if you're strong enough you may pull it off. But in your mind-body there's a kind of ledger where each and everyone of these boundary-pushes is recorded. If you are never given any time to rest and recuperate, no matter how strong your will is, eventually you are operating perpetually in the red.
As an analogy, think about the adrenaline issue. You've all probably read about this. How some mother or father saved their child by lifting some object that they would not normally be able to. But of course, there is a price. The person capable of that act may well find afterward, that they have inflicted a permanent injury on their own body.

Ive been felling really tired, i dont want to exercise, study or do anything lately. I just dont have energy. I feel extremely bored as well. Ive been sleeping very late because of insomia. Ive been studying and working out during vacations, always doing sm like cooking or cleaning. But I got to a point where that also got boring. Even watching videos got boring. I just want to go back to school again, study, make friends, and feel like I have and schedule again. In one week Ill go back to school, which Im happy about. Im also starting to go to the gym, but that might also happen in few weeks. So, basically I cant take it anymoreIm completely bored.

I have a bad choice in choosing profession when attending on College. I dont know it can be called lazy or not, because whenever facing tasks related to my profession, i dont want to do it, i rather spend hour and hour doing other things than working on the tasks. Eventually my grade became so bad that i 'm not sure i can even graduate. I still have one year left but i dont know i can get over it or not. I feel exhausted, unmotivated, uncertain about the future, sometimes even have headache and heavy breathing. Hope i can get out of this nightmare, and become a better person. Thanks for your videos, they really help whenever i feel down.

Number four scared me lol
I constantly start overly big art projects like writing books, making worlds, and considering becoming moderators for things and whatnot because I think Ill feel better about myself with a purpose,
I literally never finish them though and Im very aware of that,
I am struggling to get myself back into school cause Im just not able to care about failing and making my mom upset, and I was failing the learners test over and over again for the same reason, and yet, somehow I passed the latter lol

Even if I do know now it's not going to help. No one understands. I live in a place where people don't seem to believe that mentality is important. Tried telling my folks that I may have anxiety and I was met with It's not that big of a deal, that's not something to worry about. I'm sinking deeper everyday and i don't know what to do anymore. They keep telling me that I'm not even an adult and therefore, i have nothing to worry about and am being dramatic. I'm scared. It hurts but I can't change it like this.

I hate this feeling, I procrastinate last year in school but it gets worst now. When I force myself to do something, I really can't think that well so I'll just give up and procrastinate again. I'm not even scared of deadlines anymore lol I just hope this will stop soon bcs I'm the only one who can save myself from failing in class.

This is me now for over 7 years, tired with my life. Can't get job(intern included. Tired to be good person because every good things that i do in the past, god didnt care to me at all. I feel like god, even devil leaving me behind. Feels like I've born to this world to get a curse, maybe that was the fate of my life.

Related to every sign especially the sleep one. At this point sleep is the only part of the day I look forward too. So much that every night I desperately wish to never wake up. And when I do wake up I'm like: aw man. THIS AGAIN?
So yeah. I'm tired. Like. REALLY tired.
Loved the video so much thank you!

Yes, I am mentally exhausted, I am not like others who hate Mondays. I achieved a lot by myself. I am a workaholic, but now I can't work at this pace. My brain is shutting down day by day. I want to run away from my current situation.

This might be the problem, i go to school, and school itself isn't really tiring, but when you have friends and some other problems to solve, it can be tiring
