Sorry to hear you are feeling like this, We. Some good advice has been given. Weed smoking is definately not going to help someone who is feeling unmotivated. Drinking copious amounts of alcohol isn't either. I certainly know this. It is a depressant after all.
Not that this is a cure for depression or lethargy but taking some b vitamins and staying away from dead processed food might help you. Well, it can't hurt. Eating more salads and whole grains might give you more energy. Especially if your current diet consists mainly of prefab and fast food. Sometimes symtoms such as yours are not strictly from brain chemical imbalances, although don't rule that out till you have seen your physician and had a proper diagnosis.
Just a sidenote: But did you know that the tissue used to make your brain and the tissue used to create your colon are the same? I just learned this! Much like the tissue in your nose is similar to the tissue in your genitals. (Puts sneezing in a different light, hm?) I am huge believer in colonic therapy and I find constipation, diverticulosis, irritable bowel syndrome, and other bowel ailments, can all have a serious impact on one's mood and thinking process.
Exercise is a wonderful idea if you can manage it. At least take walks and get some fresh air. Also, while you are walking, don't wallow in your head, (I can remember doing this when I am down.) Pay attention to things outside of yourself. Hopefully those things can be trees, birds, warm breezes, rushing water....but that might not be possible. If not, and you are residing within a sprawling city, try going to a park and watching kids play. Kids are great, and if you have some, or a relative does, try playing with them. (People, behave yourselves!). The parents won't mind the break, unless of course you are some sicko, which I should hope you are not.
The point is exercise of course, but also getting out of your head can be helpful if you are feeling like you are "in (your) own world". Try to reconnect to the world, especially the beautiful things in it. Remember - you are part of that beauty.
Recently, I have had to drag myself out of a similar state due to some traumatic events and some seriously stressful situations. I am not fully recovered from it and I slip back from time to time. I have found what pulls me out of spiralling downward is that I have created some new goals. I try refocus my thoughts on achieving them and get myself excited about the process. It seems to be helping me a bit.
Anyway, please take care of yourself and see your doctor. |
