Sometimes I feel so burned out from everything. Even if I want to do other stuff, I can't because I don't have the energy to do so.
I want to take on more programming projects, but every time I open my IDE I have absolutely no ideas as to what projects I would like to do or to keep working on.
I want to read more books, but I have no idea what books to read, or if I have books which I'm currently reading I don't have the energy to keep reading them.
I want to talk to people more, but social interaction burns me out even more, I don't have the energy to keep a serious conversation going.
These are episodes of my life where I feel like sitting down and doing *nothing* at all. They're usually small episodes, though, so I hope the one I'm currently going through will end soon.

I absolutely feel that and its so frustrating to feel this stuck in a rut of sorts. I don't know if you are open to suggestions, so feel free to disregard anything after this, if you dont!
It might help to really actively take breaks and relax. Like when you feel this fatigue and restlessness, to not passively scroll on social media (i feel this can be even more draining and trigger more of that feeling useless and wasting time) but maybe put on some music and rest, let the mind wander. or to do something that is not demanding or has a concrete goal to be productive. like for example doodling without really expecting anything of it but just to doodle and see what comes of it.
I often struggle with being both tired and always in need to do something productive. Its tricky to calm down sometimes even if i really feel that my body and mind need it. but we do not have to be productive all the time! its absolutely okay and even necessary to slow down and rest and do nothing to recharge.
