Feels Like I am Hibernating

May be it was because I stayed up a lot last night studying, but today I find myself very sleepy I am disappointed at myself. I have been quite lethargic these days and I am starting to worry. Am I getting fat? Am I getting depressed? Am I stressed? Am I sick? Am I feeling lonely since my housemate is on holiday? It cannot still be the weather, it is a lot brighter than winter. So today after a very long nap I forced myself out of the house despite the rainy weather and went for a walk in the hope of sweating a bit and getting a bit more energy. I didn't get much energy from it but I feel less angry at myself for sleeping too much.

Walking will help you a lot. Don’t think too much about negative stuff.

Thank you Thelma. I am a bit confused to be feeling this way because there is nothing majorly upsetting really. I have been through worst and not felt this way. I think I may be just away from home for too long now.

@thelme55 Yeah it is over 3 years since I have been home. I am going home this November but it feels so far away.

@flapiz Maybe you have homesick. I can imagine how you feel. I felt that way when I was new in Germany and felt lost decades ago.

I am hoping that I can resolve it without resulting to that. I just need some friend time.

@thebos The closest one is in the next city. I have been quite lonely this week as my land lady is away.

I have been feeling lethargic myself today. Have not done much work either online or offline. Spent most of the day in bed but did not sleep. Now its dinner time and I have started my online work. Will take a dinner break and then again spend some time here till I fall asleep.

@flapiz I think it is due to stress.

Is your lack of energy from the weather or are you having other stresses.

Maybe you just needed to catch up on a bit of sleep. I hope that's all it is.

I hope so too. I used to be able to survive without sleep. Gone are those days my body now needs more TLC.

Just change your thoughts to something positive if you feel yourself getting depressed. It does work, but takes some practice to do.

I am trying to be more vocal about it and initiate conversations so I do not just succumb to it.

That is the best way to do things. If you really get down then going outside helps a lot. So to say airing your head,

Yeah a bit of fresh air it is really an effort for me. I hope things get better soon. It is good to have my own space but it is also quite lonely so somehow I am praying the landlady comes back.

Thank you. I think at the moment too many little things are just adding up together. I think it is stress and loneliness.

You may want to consult your doctor. It is better to know earlier what's wrong with you. metabolic and glandular diseases could mimic depression or lethargy. It's better to be safe than sorry. I hope you get better tomorrow.

This is my worst fear. My mum had thyroid issues on her 40s and I am worrying I may end up with one. Gone are the days when I am happy go lucky with my health.
