I’ve been so drained lately. There comes a time when you realize you’re either doing nothing everyday vs having a jam packed day everyday. It’s true that while yes, it’s better to “be doing something than doing nothing at all.” But if it’s at the expense of yourself, and your mental health, well…is it really a good thing?
I spend many nights struggling to sleep, anxious, stressed and overall mentally exhausted. I spend my days just on autopilot mode during school and work and sometimes extremely tired. There have been so many things I want to do for myself and my overall health but I can’t even find the time to do those things because of how jam packed my daily life is. Lately I’ve been drained, and sad. Whenever I finish a class I just go straight to sleep, and then I wake up and it’s too late for me to work on my school work because then I have to prepare and sleep for the next day. And when I go to work it’s the same thing. I honestly don’t know what to do. I barely have time for myself and someone asked me “Well you have to sacrifice something in order to achieve those things” but what do I sacrifice? I don’t see my friends, I barely see my boyfriend, I don’t even play animal crossing anymore, I don’t even have time to paint my nails or have dinner with my mom so what do I sacrifice? Because I can’t sacrifice work or school. So what do I do? All I just want is balance. But there’s always imbalances.
