Too tired to do anything

By nature, I'm not that lazy of a person; I will sit at my makeshift desk and write on my blog (like I am doing now), I'll watch videos on youtube, I'll code a website or work in phtoshop, pretty much anything productive I would do; I actually would get up and cook when I felt like it. But for the past few weeks I have found myself really tired and pretty sluggish to be quite honest. I will usually wake up when my mom is headed to work and I will stay up for a few hours just to end up falling asleep after eating lunch. Truth of the matter is that I am stuck in the house all day; my fiancee actually has told me he believes I am depressed. My mom doesn't seem to make matters any better with the way she talks to me or treats me, but I have gotten used to that over the years. That may in fact be the issue; I have gotten so used to a mediocre life that I am just settling, its harboring as chronic fatigue and stress on my part to where I can't sleep and I hardly eat right. I am actually starting to believe that my stress, fatigue, and overall unhappiness comes from not being in the city anymore. Currently I live in a suburb of Houston; have been since 2 weeks before my senior graduation, at first it was cool but as I found out that I really don't like it out here and I am so far away from my friends; I can't really go anywhere because I have to wait for my mom or step dad to get home to take me where I want to go. I just sit in the house and get more and more depressed and anxious, its gotten really bad. Do you ever have those days? Those days when you just don't have the energy to get out of bed or do the things you used to do. Or are you the type of person that is always in control and always has a smile on their face and pep in their step?

I'm not always a "peppy" person. My day depends on daily activities and events. You say that you have "settled" for the life you have. That is what is probably harboring the unhappiness that you have. I was like that when I was living in Southern California and it nearly killed me into a depression I almost couldn't get out of. Moving was the best thing I could have done. I constantly create a happy place now and it always changes. Since I can't physically be where I want to be, I make the most of what I do have without having to "settle." I stay at home, yes, but only because I'm struggling to find a job. Once I get that, things will change for me.
