I think I'm just having a rough day maybe.

You okay there?

We're here for you
I've been feeling really tired lately too and it gets a little bit harder to remember to smile but stick in there because we are always here to help
Do you wanna talk about about it?

Me too. I'm tired of life.

Careful you're not burning yourself out. I took myself for a drive in the hills, not a long one but just a little something to treat myself and get me back to my roots. If you're feeling shitty and wanna talk about we're here to listen.

Thanks

So, I've noticed that there are 3 major reasons people feel tired.
1. Sleep deprivation
2. Burnout (working too much/too hard)
3. Not doing anything/sleeping too much
Obviously there are a number of reason for any of these, and depression can definitely be a factor. But generally here is my advise.
1. Try to get your sleep schedule in order if possible. If this isn't possible because of life, try tracking your sleep and try to make sure you get enough.
2. Take a day off work if you can. Hire a sitter for the kids, watch a movie or read a book or whatever you do to relax and destress. And take a break from whatever you are overburdening yourself with, sometimes that isn't the thing you are paid to do.
3. Make yourself get up and do things. I know it's hard but you often feel better afterward. Even a short walk often makes a big difference.
Obviously with 2/3, take the advice matching the issue you are having. And as everyone has been reminding you: you are not alone.

Great advise. I don't know if @jmmcclain is tired or "tired". By that I mean, I can be tired via lack of sleep or physically exhausted or I can be "tired", empty, coasting along but not really feeling and tired of not being or not feeling like I'm really there. At least that's what the second "tired" feels to me. To help it's good to know which tired they're referring too, of course each effects the other.

@jmmcclain Are you ok?

I don't think so

I just realized in all this thread I don't think any of us actually asked you what's wrong

Do you want to talk about it @jmmcclain? It's been awhile and I think if you're still not feeling okay then you should try and talk a bit about it

@jmmcclain Whhaat!? What‘s wrong, buddy? Do I need to pull out a frying pan?
