Overwhelmed?

Hello everybody.

I've spent a lot of the last few days overcoming exhaustion but do seem a bit disassociatted from life.

Since turning 21 over a decade ago my perception of life has changed.I would sometimes look in a slight fear of the world around me and get overwhelmed of my purpose in life if I concentrate too much on everything. I do get a bit down by it but not really depressed. I cant live my life the way I did before I turned 21 but I was at ease with that up until the last few days.

I always have looked to keep my brain active in order to negate the sense of disassociation and look into new information as a purpose. My perception of life has altered as i mentioned earlier for 10 years but I still do enjoy certain things and though I dont perform well in certain areas of my life there are other things that interest me and that I am very good at after years of practice.I'd be described as very intelligent by people I would imagine (not to brag or anything like it) and would always try and eat right, keep fit and have a laugh every now and again.

The exhaustion I'm experiencing at the moment is a bit of a worry but I could be right as rain in a few days.

Maybe it's just me but are there any of you here that go through the same emotions in life?

I certainly understand feeling exhaustion. And I do understand about wanting to know your purpose in life. What emotions are you going through? Do you mean exhaustion?

Have you gone to a medican doctor & had any blood work done? When I was anemic I felt nothing but exhaustion. I also am a very active person & on the go constantly. If I don't get good sleep I end up exhausted....I struggle with especially since 11 years ago I went through a trauma & I still struggle with nightmares....I leap best when so exhausted I can't stay awake any longer....hate that....but living alone now it doesn't bother anyone but my dogs who love to snuggle in bed with me.

This fall I was caring for 3 abused stallions...6 hours a day keeping stalls clean & caring for them....I was physically exhausted not mentally. Trying to deal with issued my almost x-husband causes....that creates emotional exhaustion.... & can feed into feeling physically exhausted.

Can you define for yourself the origin of where your exhaustion is coming from?
