I think we all have times where we feel run down or exhausted. Sometimes it can be physically if you have been working out a lot or constantly moving, going from one place to the next. However, being run down does not necessarily have to be from doing physical activities. It can be from overworking yourself mentally, fighting with someone you care about, being stressed, always trying to fix a part of your life or someone else’s, or even feeling exhausted by trying to do something and not seeing results.

It honestly can be a terrible feeling. It is a feeling that isn’t always tangible or visible, so medicine is not usually suitable for this problem because there isn't always a cure. I’m going to be honest; I don’t know the answer on what to do when you feel this way. As I have gotten older, I find that I experience these moments more often than I used to. Sometimes it is associated with constantly being let down. It is definitely a horrible feeling. I'd almost rather have a stomach bug. At least when I have that, I know there is medicine to make me feel better.

This feeling just makes you want to lay in bed and watch TV all day. No need for lights or grown up clothes. Only reason to get up is for food and the bathroom. It probably sounds a little like depression, and I guess it is a little. I think when you have those days; you just need to feel them. You need to take that day to feel down or overwhelmed by the world, and hide in your bed waiting for the feeling to be over. If it exceeds more than two days, than you might need actual help from a professional.

Your body is usually an indicator of how you are feeling on the inside. I can usually tell right in the morning or right before I go to bed if something is wrong. Other times people around you will recognize it before you even do. You don’t seem like yourself, seem sluggish, and just kind of, overall, seem sad. I bet if you’re feeling like this right now, you are waiting for something exciting. You feel as though you keep searching and no result, right? It is hard because all the advice people give with rightful intent doesn’t really work in reality. If it was so simple you would have done it already.

I say if you feel rundown, give yourself time to relax. This could be physically or mentally or both. Take time to be still, eat something, and get some rest. Curl up on the couch with a blanket, and watch a movie. It fits the mood. The next day you can try getting yourself going. Be kind to yourself. Do what you feel will make you feel better. The cookie cutter, sound good answers usually don’t do the trick. I mean Ben and Jerry’s is always a good idea. Never a doubt or any questions. It is okay to take a break from life, so you can live it to the fullest and with all the energy to do everything you have ever wanted to do.
