Headspace
I’m in a really bad headspace right now. I have no enjoyment in anything. I have no enjoyment in my career, my family, my friends, food, the things I love, ** in my marriage, the tv shows I love to watch, working out, being outside, having conversations…. None of it. All I want to do is stare off into space and wait for the day to end so I can go to sleep. This is not who I usually am, I’m going through a lot mentally and emotionally and it’s draining everything out of me. I’m completely burnt out but I am not able to slow down. I want to get back to being happy and carefree again and not stress out over life, but I feel like there is no way to stop it.
In modernity it's very easy to become overloaded, over stimulated, and apathetic and unaffected. It's actually very important TO go outside, take walks in nature, be in silence and sort of decompress and destress. A few minutes of empty silence, not thinking, not noticing, but just existing, can actually go a long way for cognition and general mental well being.
Make sure you've got proper nutrition (easier said than done but address weakest links like if you don't get any vitamin D, for example), keep track of your sleep and quality of sleep, and take some long walks and just admire the trees and greenery. Nature soothes humans on a psychological level.
