Frustrated with myself

Post Reply New Topic

I am staying with my grandparents and they are out of town for a few days, they left yesterday. When I am on my own I don't do anything, I don't eat enough. I don't understand why I can't get myself to do anything. And I just can't think of anymore to put, when I feel like 500 more words should go down.

Are you getting enough sleep? Sometimes that leaves people feeling listless, and not into doing anything. That aside, nothing gets done if you don't do it, so go do something. Eating too little also leads to feeling listless, so eat, and include some healthy foods. How about some mood and energy boosting, yummy fruit?

- Exercise, it releases mood boosting endorphins.
- Read funny stories or watch funny shows. That also releases endorphins.
- Do some chores. It will make you feel better to get some stuff done, and it will please your grand parents.
- Volunteer. There are people out there worse of than we are, and it will make you appreciate what you have, and boost your self image.
- Take courses, either in person or online. Some of the online ones are free.
- Take up a hobby.
- Join a club.

Now go and do something, and don't forget to eat and get enough rest, too.

that's hard. do you get sad when they are away? or do you depend on them to help you get things done?

next time they will be away, maybe try scheduling your days very closely, with fixed routines that you have set down on paper.

a lot of people take comfort in having someone to guide them somewhat, and they regress a bit when they are alone. just be careful not to allow yourself to get too unhealthy, ok?

I've had this, too, and I like to say that the human spirit is simply broken. I know when my parents are home I tend to be more active (and by that I don't nescessairly mean excersize but rather doing simple activities like reading, going on the internet, posting on Wrong Planet (hey!), playing computor games, etc.), even though I have so much animosity toward my parents. It's weird how much of a difference something as simple as a human presence can make. The best advice I can give is try to find activities that you can do that are low-energy consuming or don't require a lot of effort. Everyone's different so what you can do will be different, too.
