Is it normal to sometimes feel like doing nothing except eat or sleep?!

9 Comments

Is it normal to sometimes feel totally unmotivated to do anything except eat or sleep? Occassionally I just can't bring myself to do anything or even feel like doing anything even though I have a big to do list to get through. It makes me feel really pathetic, guilty and ungrateful. I have to say, it's usually around 'time of the month' (sorry, guys.) So is it maybe just a hormone fuelled temporary depression?! If you're female and experience this as part of PMT - please comment. Guys, I'd like your input on this too, please! PMT aside, does this happen to you? OR do you notice similar symptoms in the women in your life? Please answer which poll option applies to you the most and comment away. Thanks.

Yes, I get like that a lot 23
Yes but only occassionally 15
Yes but only if there's a reason (e.g. lost your job or PMT) 6
No, not really. I very rarely feel like that 0
No, you're depressed 7

    It's sometimes nice to do nothing once in a while.

    If it only happens when your period comes we can assume that's the reason, but how long do you get like that? Only a few days? If it's interfering with your life I would see a doctor or maybe you could just call them or talk to your pharmacist and they can suggest something over the counter.

    Ok, it's not just me! I genuinely think it's neccessary for us to just take a day out sometimes. I know that's what weekends are for but we usually all end up doing things that need doing or going somewhere. The feeling of having no motivation is just horrible, though!

    Sometimes I wake up and decide that I won't go to work and I lay in bed until midday. I get out of bed and lay on the sofa, put the tv on and wait for my boyfriend to come home. Once I didn't go to work three consecutive days.
