living day to day is SO TOUGH. dont get me wrong, im thankful for EVERYTHING we have, ive just lost interest in so many things. i have fun with my kids doing crafts, teaching them new things, taking them to the park, getting them involved when i cook/bake, etc etc etc - BUT - most the time it takes EVERYTHING i have in me to just get my @$$ off the couch & to get more involved with LIFE in general. my kids are always taken care of but my standards are so high, i just feel like no matter what i do that itll never be enough. money is tight, so were limited. but id LOVE to look into getting my kids more involved in other things outside our home...dance & craft classes, etc. living day to day is a constant challenge & im hoping that i can overcome this one day. the sooner the better. I JUST DONT HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY!!! what is my problem!?!?!? =0( so frustrated...& disappointed in myself bcuz of all this. im trying tho... =0/ *JustTrying*

Keep on keepin on and don't just try do it! Your story say it all you are a great parent and take you some vatamins and get more energy, excise, drink plenty of water, if caffine and sugar is in your life get rid of them both they are very bad stimulants also lighten up on the salt take gluten out your diet to lighten the load off your brain.

I am exactly the same way. Everyday I get up, go to work, and by about 2pm I am completely and I mean completely exhausted. Its ridiculous! I work at an office doing paperwork,drawings, etc...so its not labor work. I go home every night at 5pm and lay down as soon as I get home. I sleep for usually about 3 hours. Get up to take care of little things like feeding the cats and taking out the trash. Then go back to bed for the night. Its repeatedly. I feel like I never have enough energy to do anything. and I sleep 80% of my life away.....

I was thinking of this over the years, and more so when in bad spells and funks. I really hate not having as much energy as I see my friends and others have. I almost get more frustrated through judging how "I'm not like them and I should be!" and just make myself feel worse. I do know that It takes a fair amount of will power to accomplish any of this program. Not only the mental will power to find the time and disipline and do it each day, but also the physical energy. It's an odd feed back loop. I mentally KNOW I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING....but as soon as I think that I take physical inventory and say..."yeah, but I am so tired and just don't feel like it, or I'm not that interested, or I wish I could but I'm just not that energetic of a guy."

But again, my logical brain knows that if I get up and do it once, the next time I try to say no, I can actually say- "yeah, but you did it yesterday, and there doesn't seem to be any real reason why you can't again today...just get up and start doing it and then YOUR DOING IT!".

Pain in the butt to do every day or each time you have to or want to do something? You bet. But if I understand the program right, the more you do that, the easier it gets, and the more automatic the body will react and not want to think a debilitating thought and shut you down. Make your body do what your logical mind needs/wants to do!!
