Hello, I have recently been geting worsenng bouts of mental exhaustion/tiredness. Usually it doesn't bother me in a worrying way because usually the exhaustion is caused by something. Being in a social situation for longer than 5 minutes can cause me to be exhausted for the next hour or two, going to parties/family gatherings can leaving me being tired and draned for the day. Even leaving my house can cause me to feel weak and tired. So more often than not, I have a reason.

However, this last week (starting around Friday) I've become very exhausted and very tired for no particular reason. I haven't left my house since Friday (except for college on Monday). Tuesday night I slept at around 2am (which is normal for me) but I didn't wake up until 4pm the following day. And then I fell back asleep at 6pm and woke up about 3 hours ago. I'm in college tomorrow, which I am not looking forward to, then I am meeting my boyfriend afterwards. He's very understanding and I told him about the last couple days and he said that we can just sleep all day tomorrow if I want. So that's nice of him. I tend to just get called lazy by everyone else I know - especially when I don't have a reason/cause.

But it makes me physically tired and slow moving and weak everywhere and it feels as though even the most simplest things to understand when I feel normal, become harder for my brain to process and such. My brain just feels like it doesn't work as well as it should - i.e. no coordination, very slow and I get simple things wrong/forget things. It's very problematic with college and exams coming up...

Does anyone else experience these (sometimes sudden) onsets of mental exhaustion?
