  • Sounds like depression honestly. Depression affects your executive function so that even if you love the outdoors, like you said, it can feel like a huge obstacle to get yourself to leave the house and do other basic tasks. Not feeling motivated to do anything but to sit indoors and avoid people is also a bad sign.

    I am a night owl too so I get that but when you're prone to get depressed it's best to have set routines, get up in the morning or as early as possible and don't stay up all night. Staying up all night can make depression worse. Sunlight is important for your wellbeing, that's why people tend to get depressed when summer ends and it gets dark most of the day and in those seasons it's even more important to get up early while there's still daylight.

    Spend less time online and do meaningful things. Sometimes people feel drained and down because they don't do things that give them positive energy.

    • Thanks for your comment.

      Even when I try to make myself go to sleep I can't. I had to wake up one day at 8am I didn't go to sleep until 6am and I was hesitant to even keep trying after 6am because I already have a *horrible* time getting up in the am! So I get the routine thing, but I dunno what to incorporate into that routine...

      Might sound like a dumb question, but do meaningful things like what? It would have to be free things considering I'm broke broke,and we all know that hard to come by.

      • I understand your issue with sleep. I do think it can be fixed though but i'm not exactly sure how. It's possible you sleep poorly.

        That's a hard question. Different things are meaningful to different people. Find a hobby that you like or try to motivate yourself to go out more, just take nature walks and discover new surrondings for example. Read, volunteer, do something creative like drawing or writing.
