Venting Ever feel like you can't move

[none666]

Sometimes I get so drained and tired that I feel like it's physically impossible to get off this couch or off of my chair, like my body is dead weight that could never be budged. It also comes with a big wave of apathy and anhedonia for me so I just mindlessly browse shit on my phone, cause nothing sounds appealing or enjoyable.

 

[BPD_LE]

YES! I feel so heavy like someone is pushing me down to the ground. I can't move.

This is a major symptom of depression. As you mentioned everything does seem to lose its interest or appeal rather quickly when you're at this point. The only way to fight it is to force yourself to motivate to some sort of schedule or to get out more. It's much easier said then done of course.

I often times find myself reverting back to this state of being. I'd probably be stuck like that if I didn't have to wage slave to be honest.

I have days where I literally do nothing but sit in a chair and stare at the wall because my body is so heavy and my mind is so foggy, so I completely understand what you're saying.

 

[Flume]

No. But sometimes I want to write notes instead of talking beaucse one... I'm to tired to talk, and two... even if I did you wouldn't listen to what I said anyway.

A lot lately. I am one with the bed. I sometimes don't even have the energy to keep my eyes open altough I'm not being sleepy, it's crazy. Lying down has become my default position.

I completely relate to this. I spend hours just doing nothing or scrolling mindlessly through social media just because I don't have the motivation or physical ability to move. It's horrible and feels so stagnant. I'm sorry to hear you feel this way too.

 

[Moonicide]

Absolutely. I don't want to leave the bed and nothing makes me feel better, that was me this morning... It's such a frustrating feeling, because no matter how you try nothing works. And you just have to sit with it. The only thing that got me up today was my pet being hungry and needing food. I don't live for myself, I live for him.

 

[justwhy?]

Been stuck in this kind of state for a while and it's getting worse. Often can't find the focus to even consume media and resort to using ASMR to lull me into a semi-conscious state for much of the day as it's vastly preferable to being fully awake and I haven't the money for any drugs to do the job.
Don't know how to break this pattern. And just going with it until starvation sets in isn't practical, but it isn't conducive to actively ctb either.

I hear you, I feel utterly paralysed must of the time. The thing is, I actually love to move, physically, I love running. Used to run every day 20 km until 6 weeks ago, for years (the occasional sick day but that's it). Too tired and paralysed for everything now. Can barely move.
