Mentally and emotionally and spiritually I am so tired.
AuroraBorealis,

I always think that the first thing to do is to see a good M.D. and get yourself checked out carefully. If you have hypothyroidism, for instance, you're going to feel extremely tired and miserable all the time no matter what you do.

If I ever feel bad, I head for sensory experiences and live in the present moment. You might want to try that. Turn off your brain and just see, hear, taste, feel, smell. Go for a walk right now if you can. Your own senses can be wonderful healing forces for you.
