can u relate???

I was sittin outside my yard and looking at all the things I need to do and I actually have the time to do it but I can't pull my head together enough to even try begin anything that is even close to concentration. I can post and read here isn't that the hilarious thing. My thoughts are like the picture I have hear only they are scrambled for the time being......

I feel the same way. Today I have so much stuff to do I didn't want to get out of bed. The one thing I have found out is that when I do a few things around the house it does make me feel better.

I have been taking vitamins 2x a day instead of one to help with this depression/fatiuge thing going on.

Your not alone,

Jules

count me in.  I've got so much to do in our yard and just no energy or desire (well, a little desire) to do it.  Yesterday was totally wasted, and today is starting off the same..though I'll confess it's too danged hot out to do anything outside right now (94).  But I've got stuff to do inside that I keep putting off..

today I'm kinda wiped out..my wife drove me nuts yesterday with her obsessing about this, and worrying about that...the whole day was what are we going to do about this, or that, and by 10PM last night I was about to explode.  And we need to confront our daughter (19) on some stuff, and I haven't the energy for that because I know where it's going to go..

I can relate SO much.....more than anyone could ever know.  I can't even begin to tell you all the things I've put off or not done, or what has built up that needs some attention because it would be horribly embarrassing.....and it should be noted that I don't get embarrassed too easily.  

I'm hoping it'll all come back to me with time...I am having an awful time with getting things started, and the few things I have...well, the pain stops me before I'm finished.  You're not alone on this one buddy...hopefully we'll all come around soon.  Until then, don't sweat the small stuff..and even some of the larger stuff...you gotta focus on what will get you through the days right now...at least that's what I'm doin' anyway.

I have the same problem Mike... Except what I keep putting off is paying for tickets... LOL Not good... I never understood what you all were talking about when "learning to live without being high" was mentioned. I look bad and ask myself, "how did I ever get things done before?" I DID. In fact, I took care of everything before in a much more timely matter... Ehhh, it'll come back to ya... To us all... Patience...

  Boy can I ever relate. That was the main reason I wanted off the stuff. Every night I would write a things to do list but nothing ever got done. I kept putting things off until I was so overwhelmed I just wanted to jump off the balcony of my apartment.

  Good thing I live on the first floor,

  Steve

dude i dont even do shyt around my own house. I work 40+ hrs a  week but thats only cause i have to. When im home i do whatever i need to do to make myself happy (drugfree of course). Im like 40 something days clean and i still lack motivation when it doesnt have to be done. Just do little things, little at a time and it will get done. it might take me 4 days to clip the hedges but hey it gets done "eventually" lol
