Its not that I have nothing to do, but I am just not interested in doing anything! I would rather sleep all day! I need to finish my article for my science book and my crochet, but I have been so tired and lazy to even do my special interests...

I don't know what to do, I am always so tired! what do I do?

A trip to the docotr is in order. chronic fatigue can be a symptom of many things. Rule out those reasons and then go from there... After the medical reasons, one of the most common reasons for a lack of drive to do anything is depression.

Draelynn beat me to the 'depression' guess.

i find that to be true of me as well, much of the time. what i do to combat this, is take a caffeine pill, which energizes me enough to go out and exercise. the caffeine pill by itself only lasts an hour or so, not much of a help, but adding an hour or two of exercise lengthens the hour of additional alertness to 3 or 4 hours AFTER the exercise- when i get back in from exercising, i have a lot more energy and alertness to do other things that i need to do, for a few more hours, until bedtime at which point i fall asleep before my head hits the pillow.
remember, though- there is a time for industriousness, and a time for vegetation.

I'm going through something similar myself.

I feel like I'm being lazy because I'm not getting anything done, but I am frustrated by this because I want to get things done.

Someone told me "if you are frustrated by it, you're not being lazy - it's an indication or a problem"

Go to a doctor.

I second auntblabby's suggestion of exercise. I have begun to work out once per day for 15-20 minutes, and have gone from someone just like you, with hardly any energy, to someone who is getting everything done that I would like to as I feel refreshed after the exercise. Try doing exercises in front of the tv: they'll go by quicker if you do it that way.

If you think it's depression or a related condition, it is best to check in with your doctor.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
