Sorry for mental health kind of question, but I do not know better place to ask about this stuff.

Nowadays, I lie down on a bed and just watch twitch streams all day, with a little bit of browsing lemmy in between. I do not want to do anything, pretty much any activity seems to cause exhaustion. So, I just do bare minimum and return to bed, watching twitch for over 5 hours.

Another is that I feel I cannot do anything good enough. I cannot study effectively, cannot do menial tasks without being stressed. This is especially concerning for me because I am taking a graduate program, but I also doubt I could do any kind of real work. I just don’t think I have capability to read complicated texts and remember it clearly, write a decent piece of literature on some subject, or just about anything at all.

Is this related to addiction - can addiction make me feel exhausted all the time? Also, how can I escape this permanent lethargy? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    do you exercise or walk to commute? without enough movement the body will slowly adapt to feeling tired all the time. good news is that 15 minutes of heart-rate-raising exercise will do wonders and you can find plenty of beginner videos on youtube you can do in your bedroom. it can also help alleviate brain fog and help your depression a bit too

      Not OP, but even with exercise 4 times a week I still feel tired enough to want to take naps in the middle of the day, and I still have brain fog / whatever condition is causing me to not be able to think and analyze in real time. I suspect it’s related to depression.
