Most days are like that. Wake up, don't want to face the world, pull duvet over head.
Finally get up, breakfast, coffee, emails etc., waste the day away. Then think Oh its such a nice sunny day, why didn't I go for a walk, do some (much needed) cleaning, or gardening. Then I feel real guilty and lazy.

I wasted a day yesterday. It was grey and rained nearly all day. I felt chilly. I had plenty that I could/should have done and an indoor exercise bike lookin at me that I should have used. However today the sun is shining through the clouds and I have spent two hours outside gardening. Definately weather related for me.

Sadly, every day for the last 13 years ....

I've been like this all week as I am stuck in the house. Not allowed to drive until I get some stitches out next week and my leg is too sore to go for a walk.

Me too - just want to get back into bed, but I’ve got a dreaded Dental appointment - hate going to the Dentist 😫

Yes travelsafar and sometimes I give in to it. I don’t know where the feeling comes from.

Same here! I want to do things, but cannot find the energy! I then get annoyed, because I have wasted the day.

Yes! I’m going through a period just like that at the moment. I’m sure it is the weather, and I badly need sun and warmth. I could happily sit all day at the moment just reading or doing a bit of watercolouring - anything else I have zero motivation at all.

Absolutely. This morning I have no energy whatsoever. The garden's calling to me which is normally something I relish, but CBA at the moment. Maybe it's because I know I have the whole day with nothing else in particular planned...

I could have written your post.

There are days when I struggle to get out of bed, I go from bed to shower to sitting in the kitchen scrolling GN and online shops despite having multiple jobs which I could/should be doing.

I take this as my body telling me to slow down, also my mind can wander off to some very strange places in the middle of the night which leaves me feeling exhausted and sometimes perplexed/worried for the rest of the day.

I woke early this morning and struggled to get out of bed after lying there trying to go back to sleep. Eventually i got up and had breakfast took my pills and had a shower and hairwash. I have a friend en route as i type then i wil go out a bit later. BUt while making my bed i wanted so much to just crawl bad into it and put the duvet over my head. I try to fill my mornigs with activities or pottering in the house, garden and greenhouse. But this morning i just couldnt rouse myself to do anything not even.....pointless pottering!!!
I hate feeling like this and wasting a lovely morning. I could have gone for a walk, done some exercises, but i seemed to have just drifted. Anyone else get days like this???
