Have you ever been sooooo tired that deep thought was a temporary enemy?

I burned out weeks ago, not touched my online marketing, I just can't focus on anything. I'm seriously messed up with stress & anxiety & it's starting to get serious now :(

When I am mentally drained I want to get into a good book and escape for awhile.

When I'm physically drained I go and play or stroke the cats, because this is proved to be very therapeutic and relaxing! We have four cats so there is usually one around, the youngest is the most playful and I usually give her plenty of attention. If it's really warm outside I will go outside and lie out in the sun to reenergize me!

Meditation or yoga...........try it.it truly is so helpful to relax the mind and body............ my mind goes 24/7 and I'm emotionally drained for days on end. but If i kick myself in the butt and go do some meditation or yoga......it helps iron out the pains in my mind and body...also........get a great massage...to loosen your body... drink heaps of water... and breath ALOT!!!!!!!!! listen to beautiful heart felt music.........no words............ native sounds or songs in nature..............it will help you center so much easily...bets of luck!!!

I thought that today I would go to church then come home and get some housework done and do some more writing for my new book. I haven't done too much work on it the last few weeks. I work 12 hours a day, 4 days a week as a home care provider. By the time I get home at 8:00 I don't feel like doing much. On my days off it seems I have so many errands. And then my 3 year old granddaughter wants to play with me all day when I'm home. Today was the first time I had off that I was going to be home alone. I did get afew dishes done. And I wrote a little for the book. But most of the time I just stared at the words. I just want to curl up and sleep.

I just stop, sometimes I am so mentally drained that I can't do anything , I just can't. I stop and rest, sometimes I don't even sleep for a couple hours, I just remain on a chair, resting.

ohh yesss..and that has been this week alone..i have a really bad back and im in great pain all the time..and this nasty cold weather change is killing me!!! from high 80'd to 45.in a day..its just too much!! heck it cant handle it with just the coldness but to tease with warnm weather..just is mean lol..i had days i couldnt get off the couch.and days all i would do is cry myself to sleep..i just havent had any energy at all..and no cares in the world escept my beautiful son...but things are better now that i just recently last 5 days met someone..andits like my heart and brain and endorphins are taking over my body..cause the only pain i feel when hes here is when he isint here to cuddle..but today im extra tired and im goin off in a min till later on tonight..im sorry ur going threw the same thing..try meitating..thats what i do..put some soft music on and lots of candles..and at night seems to be the best for me..and just push all that negativity out..and bring in the positive..that should help ya un//take care!")

I am mental everyday but as for being mentally drained when this happens I stand in a corner and jibber jabber for a few hours and then have some sleep if this fails to stabilize my mental state I come on here and write, write...WRITE!!!! Just to see what I write about....blib blob blab blub......sigh! sleep it is then...zzzzzzzzzzz

Yes, I've known this degree of tiredness. I've known physical exhaustion so intense that the smallest tasks are too much. At those times, I do much the same as you: I surf and read things online. For me, a possible solution is music. I will buy an album I've never heard, or not in a long time. The thrill of new music can invigorate me. If not, I'm really in trouble, because for me, extreme lassitude can last for weeks, even months. Luckily, I'm not in that place right now. I have enough energy, although I could always do with more. Good luck!

I've been mentally exhausted for the past 3 or 4 months now. I've been looking for a better paying job, but i'm so busy with my other one that it just feels like i'm lost. stress & extreme anxiety has not been helping. I did go see a doctor and got some medication that helps a little.

I have been there lately lol. I try to find something to get me exicted. I take a walk or work on a hobby. Get into a fight with hubby works lol. Drives him nuts. I find something new to surf on the net. But my favorite is to grab a trashy romance and lose myself in it for awhile.
