Re: The Animal Is Tired
#270? My animal is only 33 and is very tired. Writing this as it lays in bed, 3 in the afternoon, because even a standard chair sounds more exhausting to it.
It seems to have no motivation or energy to do much besides lay here.
If I force it, it will get stuff done but at a huge cost. It will yearn the entire time to just lay back down.
It's interest in things seems to be fading quickly. What desire it used to have to work hard and succeed, has slipped away. It seems these days it has only enough energy to lay in bed and scroll through the internet. Not sure what is wrong with my animal, but this is no way for it to live.
I was hard on the animal in its early 20s, but no harder than the average animal. The past 7 years or so have actually been pretty calm, good food, semi regular exercise, stable job, etc.
It's scary to imagine how the animal would feel at 70 if this is how it feels at 33. Maybe the pandemic was a straw to its back, and the isolation has worn it down more than anything else possibly could.

Lately this has been on my mind. I do everything, diet, exercise, social interaction, etc. But I am still just tired sometimes, nothing seems to kick. Maybe my mind is telling me that this way of life is down trodden? Find a new path? Working alot has no value, and maybe I am missing out. Or I am just tired, and there is no where to go

#4Oh, and eyesight. Like, I had to up-scale the default font sizes on mobile and now all sites (this one especially) are harder to use.
Use responsive design people! You'll need it someday!!

The pace of life is accelerating year by year, I swear.
If not the pace then at least the stress level.

I think Covid made life a lot less interesting. Or, put a bit differently, I think that we quit doing a bunch of the things that made life interesting. And I think that is mentally wearing.
I don't know if, in your case, that's the whole answer. You might find it worth while to seek medical advice...

But the clock on life is ticking. I keep telling myself, dont stay still for too long. Keep moving.

#9> unable to find a comfortable position for sleep
Could this problem be solved with an advanced motorized bed that allows you to configure the surface on which you rest?
