esp lately, been doing the minimum.

esp on days off work.

i do not understand how my old man found the time, energy, and skill, & $$$ to build an entire f*****g patio in the house. his diploma says "associate's degree, electrical engineering".

i've been barely keeping up with: laundry, garbage, dishes, doing s**t my sister told me to do. bowel movements.

everything takes so much f*****g effort s**t

apathetic

not worth the energy

Two thirds of my week is spent 'doing nothing'.

That is how it may appear to anyone observing me I suppose.

However, I am thinking, daydreaming, reflecting and planning (mainly artwork).

I recommend it.

I get bored if I don't have mental challenges to occupy my mind, and the boredom drives me to find something at least vaguely interesting to do, something that might get me something I'd like. Some of the projects I take on are pretty trivial, like how to shave a couple of minutes off the time it takes me to make breakfast, but it kind of works for me.

I'm very rarely too depressed to try for some goal or other, though like I say, the goals can be pretty trivial. I just think that if a person is trying to achieve something, however small, it keeps depression at bay. I guess it depends how strong a hold the depression has on a person though. It's probably a bit of a vicious cycle. It can be hard for a very depressed person to think of anything worth doing. And being burned out doesn't help.

i'm too weak, tired, slow, and clinically depressed to do anything significant. constantly struggling just to take public transportation to work, not get made redundant, get along with annoying ass hole customers, coworkers, and day laborers, go to the litterbox, dishes, garbage, laundry, taxes, health insurance,

there is no way i am ever going to accomplish jack s**t in my "life". every slightest movement takes way too much energy.

i wonder if i have a medical condition causing me to be so f*****g lethargic. i'm closer to being dead than alive, in some ways, s**t. but when the doctor asked if i had any "weakness" or "fatigue", i lied and said "no" because i was afraid that if i said "yes", she would not sign the form for work, and then work would gimmie the pink slip and i would end up homeless.

s**t.

Sounds like you are in Autistic burnout. I can relate 100%. You need huge amounts of rest for a very long time.
