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!

    I would strongly suggest seeking advice from a medical professional (if you have the means) rather than advice from strangers on the internet. I’m I can’t say what advice a professional might have, because I’m not a medical professional, but it will almost certainly be better than what anyone here can give you.

    And if you’re not sure if your problem is worth talking to someone about, that in itself is a sign that something is wrong. I know it’s hard, I’ve been there, but please understand it is the best course of action (again, if you have the means).
