I'm just so darn tired of life, it feels like - like it would be a relief to finally have it end. I imagine once I get my own place, I'll have a period of joy about that, but can't imagine it will be long before I return to this state - same thing, different place. Maybe if I got a job I felt was meaningful... but the last time I tried working even a part-time job the stress and stuff wreaked havoc on my mental health and I ended up in the hospital four times in one year. So I don't know if I should try again or not.
You sound like a person who needs some sort of adventure like sailing around the oceans or travelling from country to country....
That all sounds very intimidating to me. I feel like I don't have the energy to do anything adventurous, I'm just so dang tired all the time.
It's been brought to my attention that I may have picked up a blood infection either when I was getting IVs on a regular basis for sedation for ECT, or when I was self-harming. I actually kind of hope that's the case because then it can be treated and my energy, vivacity, memory, and cognitive function can be restored. Otherwise, at least the last two are gone for good (probably as a result of the ECT).
