Rebooting the megathread because that last image wasn't doing it for me.

    What do you do when you're feeling lethargic and don't feel like doing anything?

    Don't feel like playing any of my video games, don't feel like making music, have no drugs and gave em up anyway.

    This isn't a constant thing, just once in a while.

      Once in a while? Go to bed early.

      Edit: alternatively, long-form smut

      It's happening to me very often now. I wanted to go to a local library for weeks now, to buy four books about the Spanish Civil War. I haven't done it yet, every morning I wake up and I just don't feel like doing it, I can't gather enough strenght to go out, take the bus and buy the damn books.

      Shit fucking sucks.

      I fix it with drugs. Caffeine. Then I take that little bit of energy I’ve cheated out of my soul and go for a walk or a jog to clear my head. Or I just sit in the half lotus position and try to meditate.

      Then eventually I find new things to do, like study Mandarin, or make more tea, or go buy a book.

          Just starting again! I’m trying to use Fluenz and some textbooks and material from the MIT courses, hope I stick with it this time.

          I’m terrible for starting languages for a few months and then losing interest, but now I really want the opportunity of spending time in China

            Sweet. I'd recommend DuChinese as well. It's a bunch of easy readings where you can click on the words to see what they mean, really makes you feel accomplished when you can read a whole story.

      Coffee could help, taking care of yourself could help. If it's not happening that often, maybe just understand that you'll probably have bla days and give yourself permission to be bla occasionally and have it not bother you more than it has to. Try to figure out if there are any patterns like not getting enough sleep or not eating well that seem to trigger bla days. I've sometimes found myself feeling like that and realized I literally just haven't eaten that day and as soon as I get some decent food in me I feel a million times better. It seems obvious but sometimes you just miss things.
