what do you do to pull yourself together when ur sooo tired and overwhelmed??

Answer 1

Have a set time when you go to bed every night.we all need at least 8 hours sleep every night or it can make us tired and depressed.little things can be blown out of proportion,tempers can be frayed,all through lack of sleep.drink plenty water,fruit and veg,this will give you an energy boost.

Answer 2

Depends where I am. If I am at home, i will have a nice relaxing bath with a glass of red wine and some chocolate, a good book and some relaxing music. If I'm at work and feel tired and a bit overwhelmed, i usually take a step back, use a moment just to breathe in deep and focus or I call a friend and get a coffee. lol.

Answer 3

chocolate is always a good start,
then a nice warm bath and an early night. try and get a good nights sleep this should make things seem a bit brighter.

if you're at work and feel like this i suggest leaving your office for 10 minutes. have a drink and a biscuit and if possible get some fresh air.

try and leave a bit early and have some time to yourself to figure out why you're so tired an overwhelmed.

Answer 4

Find motivation from within myself. If you need to find energy to do something, you have to know why you want to do it - it's not good enough to just try to please others, or to just conform and do what is expected for the sake of an easy life. You can only act effectively when acting out of love or passion or anger etc.
If you cannot think of a true reason for wanting to do something, then you should just abandon it; your heart is not in it and you will only do a half-arsed job.

Also, picture the glorious results of an arduous task in order to find the energy to stay determined through the toughest part. I remember watching Kelly Holmes, the middle-distance runner, winning her two gold medals in the last summer olympics. She was exhausted but was so determined to have those medals that she broke away and flew down the home straight. I'm not a sporty person, but I can relate to that sheer desire that drove her to run through the pain barrier.

You have to find that drive within yourself. We all have it; it is instinctual.

I think there are different people with different needs ,but for those like me, it's important to have a break from stimulation.
A quiet place outdoors with no demands, prehaps some meditation, a nap ,or just tuning in to the peace underlying everything. Sometimes music, or something else beatiful can help us re-access that peace, but often I find using a prop to change things like coffee, alcohol, chocolate, TV etc, just postpones the chance to really recover.

Answer 6

Take a good strong dose of St. Johns wort, either in the form of tea, or in capsule form 500mg if really low, It has pulled me through where normal Doctors medication will not touch. The only side affect is sensitivity to Sun in high doses, so have a good sun cream and sun glasses

Answer 7

I am not sure if will work for you, but it does for me. I stop everything I am doing. I grab a mug of coffee, and sit down ,close my eyes, and tell myself the rest of the day/afternoon/night is not going to have anything to do with anything ,but relaxtion for myself.I am going to gather myself again. I go home ,if I am out somewheres. When I get home, I lit inscents, and draw a bath. soak in it for a for awhile. clear all thoughts. I play soft ocean music while I am doing this. If I am too over whelmed,and this doesn't bring me down a notch or two. I then call up my best friend to spend the next day with me. we go for a long walk, and we talk. we help each other with whatever pushed us over. this really helps to unwind things,where they are not so over bearing as i thought. we make plans to make tackle some of the troubles that over whelmed me. then tackle rest during the following month,with a plan. kinda like taking baby steps,easing back into things again. but i will learn from this,and learn to do things differently, so it not build up on that subject(s) again. We do this for each other. If your hubby or wife or g.friend, or b.friend is your 'bestfriend',it helps you to come together closer i feel. my bestfriend is my hubby, we do not hestitate for a sec, when the other needs 'timeout' to gather themselves again. we do not debate or critisize the other. we only listen, reassure, think of ways to cope with issues. you'll learn to stop ,and catch this in the early stages, if you have a bestfriend there for you.in time,the trust builds,and they'll see it coming before you do most times. you'll learn early signs yourself, and take time off to regather yourself.before it totally exhaust you to point of'no matter what i do or say i'm am so drained and everything seems hopeless'....i hope this helps you :-)

Answer 8

Get more sleep. The problem with most people these days is they have not had enough rest. Try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night or often as you can. Go to bed early instead of staying up and watching T.V. Don't watch T.V. in bed.

Answer 9

In that state i will avoid newspapers, television and society in general. I retire to my virtual world in the form of Runescape. I sleep. I get some acupunture or reflexology. I ponder. I do some gardening ... which reminds me ... need to do the watering.

Answer 10

honestly my opinion is to rest. I'm someone who does a lot of out of school activities and every now and then i feel like I've got no energy. have a good sleep and ask your mum to buy you some vitamins from the chemist to keep you energised. they work and taste pretty good too.
