Always Tired and Unmotivated

I’m always tired. I yawn all throughout the day. I get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. Idk what to do. I’ve always been this way but it’s starting to bother me. I never have any motivation to clean anything ever. I always do the bare minimum.

Do you feel this is related to your mental health? I ask because you could always get tested for sleep apnea.

My dad does have sleep apnea, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I did too. I do not know if it’s related to my mental health or not.

I’m right there with you! The seasonal depression is starting to hit, the weather has me feeling extra “blah” lately. Everyone keeps suggesting I get a happy light. I also found this woman on Instagram the other day who has ADHD and her videos are soo relatable. Her name is hayley.honeyman. She has one video that’s titled “why am I so tired” and many others with good tips. I’ve learned that motivation comes AFTER starting a task. It’s about tricking your brain into finally being able “to do” the thing and not be stuck in an ADHD paralysis. It can help to stimulate your senses. Light a candle, turn on music etc. But it’s still so hard to do. 😬

Ohmygoodness same. I do better sometimes with caffeine but other times it just makes my heart race instead. I don't think it's as bad when I exercise but I don't do that often because of lack of motivation.
