Some days are really hard to get out of bed. Today I am going to work but it’s tough. It helps to get out of my way but my brain doesn’t fire all the time.Anybody have any experience with this?

I remember that feeling first when I didn’t want to go to school in the morning as a kid. It was the worst sinking feeling! Later felt that way before going jobs where I felt belittled/ disheartened/ out of place. What is it about work that you dislike the most or do you like it once you go?
It is okay when I go. It’s a little confusing learning the products. I just hope they see that I am willing to work. It helps a little with the finances but it’s mostly to help me feel apart of society
I think you’re right on with the participating in society plan. Even if you don’t love it, a little routine goes a long way. I hope that you will be appreciated. It would make all the effort a little bit easier. I hope you find a way to clear your head and have some peace. For me, it is tea, hot showers, meditation, writing, listening to the ocean, and in more motivated times, exercise and yoga have caused quite a shift in energy.
I can relate, scaredycat. In fact, this has happened to me consistently with ever job I’ve ever had, even those I liked. When you say “my brain doesn’t fire all the time”, this sounds like it might be moderate to severe clinical depression, or something similar. When I’m in a depressive episode, my cognitive functions can be pretty severely compromised. Tasks that might normally take me a half hour take 4 hours, and other things take all day, and others I can’t complete at all. Antidepressants have helped me to a degree.
If you haven’t already, you might consider asking your doctor what your options are.
I managed to hold down a job for a few months just under a year ago now, after finishing university. A lot of bad shit had happened to me and, thinking I was over it, just wanted to get on and settle down. One day I just had a massive panic attack during a training session and that was it. I couldn’t go back. Even the thought of it would cause my anxiety to spiral out of control. I’ve tried working since then, voluntary, agency and the like, and it’s always ended the same. I’m on antidepressants, antipsychotics and sleeping tablets but it’s getting to a point now where I can’t even leave the house. As a result of that, I’ve had to take myself out of working. At this point now, I cannot imagine working, at all. It’s become a foreign concept to me.
I’m on anti depressants, antipscychotics and seroquel to help sleep but if I take it too late I’m no good in the morning which is why work seems so hard. The job is alot of standing and sorting but I was very anxious when I got off. I feel relaxed at home but still a little foggy
Yeah, they’re a ***** to get right. The following day is pretty much a write-off until at least 3pm if I get it wrong. I find the antipsychotics I’m on atm also cause me to have frequent, really bad headaches when I wake up too, which just makes me want to sleep more. Maybe talk to your GP if the tiredness / fatigue in the morning is an undesirable side-effect? Or your manager?
Thanks I’m trying to give these meds time to work before any changes are made. I am sleeping which is a blessing. Not much of a night life but who cares if I get to sleep.
Yeah you’re telling me. When you get a good nights sleep it makes a hell of a difference. Really is surprising. All the best to you anyways. Hopefully the meds will work out once they’ve settled down.
I just take a few ADHD meds and that problem vanishes like a mist on a warm summer’s day.
Show off. 😛
