Does mental illness suck the energy out of you

I find it hard to do anything, even thinking is too much for me I feel like a vegetable without life. But does this ever happen to any of you? I feel like I have no energy to do anything even shower and regular stuff I used to do like a force is withholding you.

Yes🙂it happens.

Thankfully I’m pretty stable at the moment but it can feel like “someone “”something “not wanting me to do anything and a heaviness ,stagnation etc and I get a saw fragile brain etc specially my right side at evenings.

How’s it going everhopeful?
Any better?

I understand. I feel so exhausted and dead. No energy for showering or doing dishes or anything else. I hate feeling useless.

I think going out lots helps with negatives. Maybe subconsciously you are kinder to yourself if you just step out of the house and interact with people.

It used to before I started rexulti.
The stims help as well.
The winters always drain me to the point where I just sleep all the time.

Everyday, I have to work so hard to ignore voices, or keep my thoughts at bay, it leaves little energy or motivation to do much else

I feel that way too, but I have few responsibilities, so it’s not like it is a catastrophe.

Not as much. But I’m extremely inefficient with time.

I feel, mostly people prejudiced against the mentally ill, do. Because when I get away from them, I’m fine.
