Why am i feeling so tired, useless, and uncreative?

Question

Okay, I am a 17 year old girl who is always writing. Now, i cannot write on the novels that i have. I feel i am full of all this creative energy and when i sit down to write i can't. I am also always so tired, i never feel like i wanna do anything even though i have a long list of things should do. For example, i will be like, "I need to write, exercise, and do my homework." And i end up sitting on the computer visiting the same three sites and doing nothing but sit there or read. I have a overwhelming feeling of being useless and lazy. It's not like i want to do this but i just can't get myself up and do stuff. Its usually sitting here on this computer doing nothing or sleeping. My mood has also become so bitchy lately if that helps, and i have become very emotional also. Thank you, i would be grateful for any help from anyone. Much Love, Amber

I have also just got out of a very dramatic time in my life and in that time i also did many things, but now i am always home. I also have a sudden strange liking for chocolate milk, which i was allergic to both. I don't know if this will help, but you know, thought i would say it.

Answer 1

you need to get away and freshen up your mind and body

forget about writing for awhile
spend time outside enjoying whatever the weather

spend time reading fun trashy novels, going to cheap flics and with friends

exercise a bit more, get a medical physical just to rule out lingering viruses like glandular fever etc

dont even think about writing until the day you wake up and feel you just must write again


sometimes its not pushing through but going around

Answer 2

Dear Amber, your situation may be because you do not know how to make yourself happy and contented. Without these things there is no enthusiasm and without it you cannot get youserlf to do what you wish to do. Ok, you may try to get out of this by inculcating little bit of focus and determination and start fulfilling your wishes one by one, which will allow your enthusiasm to rise. If it is material wishes that you will fulfill, that may be a bit easyer and the fulfillment also will be less intense and last for less time than fulfilling spiritual needs. To fulfill spiritual needs you may start by just detachedly checking what is inside you: what is it that your heart wishes or what it is that brings unease to the soul? Once you know these things you can start looking for ways to fulfill the soul's needs. At this time in the world spiritual fulfillment is very much sought after. Best wishes and much love.......:).

Answer 3

Could be something physical. Maybe you are anemic, have that condition where you get a little depressed during the winter, could be homonal, could be a lot of things. All the answers before me are good, too. It's nothing to worry about. I am an artist, and in my 50's. I know from experience that we creative people are not constant in our creative output or inspiration.
