I always feel tired without energy and feel really bored all the time. I sometimes wonder if my life is just getting to boring or to repetitive for me. I don't know what to do to feel more energetic my friend I don't know where she gets it from, but she always has energy like 24/7 and I am always thinking doesn't she ever get tired of always being like that. Sometimes I think that she pretends to be energetic all the time because she wants to be accepted and liked by everybody. Still does anybody else always feel tired???

Honestly, I think different people have different energy levels. I myself am always lacking energy, as is my girlfriend, and brother and mom. But my dad, sister, and some other friends have much more energy. Sure, I do feel like my energy is lacking even more at times of sadness and depression, but it differs. I don't think it has much to do with weight, as my gf and mom are, as was my dad, but myself, my brother and sister are not. But I do know I now have a hankering for some coffee!

I need to drink coffee because I lack so much energy. Maybe you are feeling a bit depressed.

Well these days I'll admit I am a bit depressed, what whith getting laid off and then having my tools stolen outta my truck. But even when times are great I don't feel like I have as much energy as I should. I've even had blood work done, and nothing has shown up. But I just LOVE coffee.

Hi ANIME After a day's work,i feel tired both mentally and physically.And on the way home,I always got a lot in my mind--full of powerless. People regarded energetic ones as happy and enthusiastic ones.vice versa. And I admire those who are energetic all the time.lol

Hey, Anime, I think everybody feels tired and boring sometimes. We cannot keep us energetic all the time. But the problem is how long you feel in this way. And if you're in such bad situation, can you recover soon? Once I had the similar feelings like you, fortunately, I find more aims in my life. And I keep myself busy with activities I'm interested in. It works well. So...try to find your hobbies, and do something you'd like. I think it's useful!

I only feel tired when I have nothing to do which is a very boring day fro me. when I am sick and have a bad day i tend to lose my drive to become active and that is not so fun so eventually it makes me tired. I need to look for other diversion or other methods to keep my mind from doing monotonous thinking and acting. I think when you always feel tired it only mean you need to take ferrous sulfate for the blood it would makes your mind and body active again and not feeling sluggish.

After a day of hard work that means you are not lazy to do your job. My dad also feels tired when he comes back from work.

Yes, we all feel tired at some time or other, you should not feel tired all the time, there has to be a reason. If you are healthy, you may be depressed, it could just be a lack of Vitamin B12 or an iron defieciency can make people feel tired. Try the iron Pills first. If they don't work see your G.P for further tests. You shouldn't get bored this suggests you are not happy so this needs addressing. Tell me more about how you feel in yourself, ie healthy strong weak anything else. Will try to help.

I, too, feel the same sometimes. There are days when I just don't wanna move. It's one of those moments when I feel so depressed, so tired, so bored. I sometimes suspect I am bipolar, LOL! I try taking vitamins and drink fluids during those times. Fight the depression. Divert your mind. Sometimes, it's just depression that's causing this tiredness. We feel sick though we are not. I've been thru that before.

I have same problem i have kept up with a large family for years. For awhile it seemed to me as soon as i hit 40 years old i just felt exhausted. Now im thinking it maybe more stress related. Im not sure how to make things better if it is due to stress. I try to eat right and get enough sleep but it never seems to help. I need lots of energy to keep up with all the teenagers schedules but by time i get to evening time Im so tired i sometimes start to fall asleep in front of the computer while im working.

...Hi ANIME123, No, I do not always feel tired. If your iron levels are okay, you might be depressed or a tonic such as Geritol could make you feel more peppy, It contains iron, take a little a day. As someone else mentioned you may need to find some new things to do, you could just be bored. Then it is just a mental thing, you need a challenge or something to give you inspiration. So look into new ideas. Something that makes you want to get up in the morning, that excites you. Or try exercising, that releases the endorphens, which are like happy pills in your brain. Exercise twice a day and see if you feel any better. If you are depressed, you need to talk to a doctor. Take care.

Try to find something to keep yourself busy, and being tired is an emotion sometimes, physically do you feel tired as well?If you do then try to take some supplement to boost your energy take some vitamin C for body resistance and keep a regular exercise to make you feel energetic.If emotionally tired maybe you have some stress in mind.Yoga can help...Try every hour of your vacant time to make yourself busy and not to think of anything distressful.Have your mind motivate yourself.Be creative and it can help your boredom turns into happiness,Happy Lotting.God Bless!

sometimes we all feel tired or bored. I just think it's important not to let ourselves to stay like this for a long time.. If I feel tired, I try to eat more fruits and vegs, wake up earlier and go to sleep earlier, spend more time outside and go see my friends :) usually I start feeling better in a couple of days :) Good luck :)

Anime..hai fatto le analisi del sangue? Anche io faccio parte delle persone sempre stanche. Non riesco a capire il perchè. Per darmi energia bevo tanti caffè. Prendo integratori e vedo un pò di miglioramento se al contario non prendo niente mi alzo stanca e vado a letto stanca, sarà per colps dell'anemia? D'Estate è molto peggio, il caldo mi uccide.

I go back and forth...some days I am full of energy and feel like I can get everything done, and other days I am lacklustre and can't get myself to do anything. I think your friend is probably like this too, and other people don't really notice when she's quieter because they're so used to her having energy.

I feel like this from time to time. I n fact it seems to be quite a lot lately. I have been having trouble getting up on a morning. Probbaly a good job that Im unemployed at the moment lol. I have very little energy lately. It is a horrible feeling when all you feel like doing is just sleeping.

Actually, I feel like the exact opposite ANIME123. I feel as though I regularly have lots of energy that I need to burn, and rarely ever feel tired, despite the fact that I average perhaps 5 hours of sleep per night I guess it just varies from person to person I suppose.

I do feel really tired at times. And I lack interest. My feelings come from being depressed. I am trying to work out every other day now. I have been told that exercise helps people to feel better. I think there is a chemical that is released in our brain that helps us feel better when we exercise. Also I think going through the motions and the effort of doing something helps us to feel better about ourselves. As far as my interests are concerned - I know there are things that I want to do. I just don't feel it in my soul so I have to make myself do things until I feel the interest start up.
