Just thought I would share. I have been in and out of bed all day today and can't really get the ambition to do much of anything. My gym closes at 9:00 and I will most likely get myself together at the last minute to do "some" sort of a workout. I am not sure why I feel like this. In part it is because I did not have any appointments, work, or anything that I was obligated to do today. I know I need to clean, but am overwhelmed by the thought of doing it and where to begin. I have found that many times making a checklist of things to do helps to keep me moving forward. But right now, really all I want to do is be in bed. I have started reading in bed a couple of times today and then ended up napping or laying there trying to nap. (I'm not actually tired, so it is getting hard to even nap!)

If any of you have felt this way, what do you do to get out of it? I think that going to exercise may help a little. But like I said, I tend to procrastinate on going to work out till the last possible moment to get my workout in before the gym closes. Ugh. I am not sure why I am like this. I am on an anti-depressant but it was actually prescribed for me for stress headaches. (paratoxene, generic brand of paxil).

Hi, Jenny. I haven't had this happen, although I can procrastinate with the best of them. I just wanted you to know that someone read your post and is hoping that you get past this.

Cheers,

Hi Jrmohr,
Thanks for replying. Yeah, it is nice to know that someone has at least responded. So, thank you. Today was a better day for me and I was able to get started on the dreaded cleaning. And as I thought would be the case, I did feel tremendously better yesterday after working out. (But I did go pretty much at the latest time I could go before the gym closed to still be able to do a workout).

That's excellent, Jenny! Glad to hear things are looking better than yesterday.

Keep on keeping on!

Cheers,

J

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I've had many days where I'm EXACTLY the same way. My name is Natalie--I'm going to be a junior at Champlain College this fall. (Hi! ) I missed sooo many classes last semester because all I wanted to do was sleep...I didn't want to do anything at all. I felt like I didn't have the energy or desire to do it. I haven't been on medication since high school (2007-2008ish) and it's definitely not good for me, but I keep procrastinating calling my doctor. I was really good on "week 2" of this new diet/lifestyle change that I'm attempting, and went to the gym 3 times. The thing that really made me do it was that I had a friend I went with; without her I probably would've had a harder time getting out there. So I'd say if you can get someone to go with you, it's a huuuuge help! Although, I do enjoy going to the gym by myself sometimes, I just have to get up and DO IT! So I totally feel ya. :3
