I have a lot of MSN-friends, some of them are very close to me. I have other acquaintances (lot of them writing blogs)
So, as I used to speak with my friends and reading these blogs, I noticed, that ALL OF THEM claims that they don't have any energy.
First I thought that this was only my special problem. But all of my friends and acquaintances are complaining about these symptomes.
All we wanna do is sleeping. We don't care about the world, about our studies. We eat a lot, drink a lot and take medicaments and drink alcohol (even me)
Some horrible examples:
1. One of my friend stole three Xanax from another friend and she took all of them. She claimed she was nervous.
2. Another friend doesn't have the lust to live (no suicide-thoughts, she is only very tired and feels worthless)
3. The third is deconcentrated. In the school she couldn't make the most simplest mathematic-exercise
4. I will have 4 tests in the college on the next week. I cannot learn anything and I don't care about it.
The symptomes:
1. we are careless 2. sleepy 3. in a depressed mood 4. headache, slight fever 5. eating and drinking a lot 6. deconcentrated 7. it feels everything like in a dream 8. we are so... apathetic. Nothing interests us.
No suicide thoughts. We only wanna sleep... and we don't care about anything.

I've already had that period together with a lot of people I know. It started around October and lasted until half of December. We felt sleepy, sick, feeling that something was going to happen, constantly feeling that we just didn't care about what went on in our lives... As to what caused it: I have no idea. But it is very strange.

All I can think to recommend is taking a holiday to somewhere you've never been.. Perhaps bring a spark of culture to you or something that might interest you. Strangely I have had a few very short periods of depression in the last week or so. Not sure what the cause is. The important thing is just to consider how lucky you are, how much you have in comparison to others. Whether its in a loving bond, something material, or a talent you possess. I don't really believe you all only want to sleep.. if that was the case you wouldn't be here posting this for us Perhaps you just want to do something relating to social areas instead of strictly academic areas? Hmm... *Ponders*

Hmm, I've pretty much solved feeling so sleepy by reading a lot about spiritual things. But most of the things just passed on their own accord... it is definitely not a lasting thing.

Don't worry, Gemma. You're not alone.... I've been getting real sleepy, careless, and more daydreamy than usual too. And by the looks of it, others are too. Maybe there's some weird energy shifting going on around us? Hmmm....

oddly enough...I feel like the exact opposite.
I had that two-year bought of depression...however long ago that was.
now though, I'm bursting with energy and ready to move--even when it's that time of the month (which is rare for me.)
perfect example: I'm used to 3-5 hour shifts at work. Yesterday, I willingly worked a 7 1/2 hour shift - I was scheduled for 3 hrs and worked extra, and today I was scheduled for 6 hrs, and I worked 8 hrs instead...and I wanted to work more, but I forced myself to come home, b/c my feet hurt too bad.
~shrug~ different strokes for different folks, I believe I went through what you're going through now, just at a different time...I had all those symptoms during those two years. I did get a suicidal thought from time to time...but nothing lasting, only like a flitter through my mind. I mostly just didn't care about the world and wanted it to leave me alone.

I've noticed that I have been sleeping much more than I usually do. I've also been eating more but I have also become more focused and taking more responsibility for myself. I think it may be a shift of energy in myself. I made a conscious decision to change and I believe I am doing it but during this transition it is taking alot of energy out of me. I think I can compare my transition to that which the world is going through now. A great deal of energy is being expensed for change and there is oppostion along the way.
Gemma, don't fret, it just may be a growing time and once you gather enough energy you'll bounce right back and be more focused and determined.

So I'm not the only one who can't stop feeling tired?? A few other people are the same (around where I live) but we figured it was just the weather. I was a little bit down last night but I'm pretty sure that that was just one of those temporary "down times" I get occasionally.

y'know, after I posted that last time...it was a few hours, but I started feeling down after that, and I've been down ever since.
...I've been trying to figure out if I'm just picking up on other people's depression, or if I have my own baggage...only a little bit feels like my own, and I have those worries constantly and am still otherwise happy...so I really don't know if it's just getting to me more than usual or if it's enhanced by what I'm picking up from others.
I'm still not yet sleepier than normal though...just down, and feel somewhat like things are dreamy...but I think that's a side-effect of falling asleep meditating the last couple of nights.
so basically, I have no clue! lol.

I am still down and I feel so cold... I was weeping for an hour in the morning and I don't know why.
"Maybe something is summoning the energy of humanity?"
But why?

Hmmm... are there any more negative things happening in your country than is usual? Because these things tend to have a negative effect on those involved and these feelings can be passed onto those who can "pick up" emotions, etc.

Well, in my country there are definitely some things at work. Money problems, war issues, a bad government/political system... plus a lot of rebellic feelings among the population itself... But the only thing this causes for me is more determination to do what's right. I'm not one to go full-blast into a political party but fact is that many things have got to change here. And so I am also one of the people who is struggling with a lot of rebellic feelings. Anyways, the only reason I can think of right now is the fact that many people around me are depressed or struggling with some problems. This gets me down because I feel I should help them. I know I can't solve everything, but still it feels like I should be able to sometimes. That's probably why I'm so enthusiastic about the "Tangible Effect Experiment". ^-^ It gives me the power to do something without draining myself.

"Maybe something is summoning the energy of humanity?" But why? I'm sure there are a million at least, different possible answers. Frankly I don't know myself. Lets hope its for love and compassion instead of darker things though

It could be the coming of the Anit-Christ. It puts humanity in its weakest form and takes over slowly until we cannot do anything.

No matter what it is, it feels like a sharp knife in my heart. I feel it constantly. Time for my favourite sentence: "Give it time, let it heal" But if I don't even know what IT is? Like the title of the book of Stephen King.. brrr.

Heh. I find it strange. I'm happy to stay up hours on end now. I've always been more of a night person, and typically hated mornings anyway.. Hmm.. I'll update this with any changes to the situation

I don't know if this is related, but I heard that a few planets were in retrograde at the end of 2005. I'm tired, too, in a way... I also feel that there isn't enough time in a day to do everything I need to do. I do all my homework and I barely have enough time to do fun things...

@ Alth: Yeah, similar things here. Our state's health system's in a shambles, they're trying to re-introduce the (failed) idea from the 80's of having compulsory ID cards (they swear it's protection from terrorism *rolls eyes*), I think they're cutting funding for renewable energy research/experiments and of course there's the Greenpeace vs. Japanese whalers saga...
@ rad: I've always been a night person, too, but I've been sleeping in waaay more than I usually do. It's funny, I'd stay up till 1/1:30am during the term and still be able to wake up before 8, but now I'm staying up till around midnight and can't get myself out of bed till 10:30/11 :/

I have experienced this same thing and it concerned me. I felt like maybe there were some things I still needed to work through (I've been cleaning house recently) so I meditated on it and I recieved the answer "rest." I believe, at least for me, but now reading this perhaps it is for many of us, that we will soon be entering a time of increased pace where things will change rapidly and we will be very very busy and engaged and expending our energy. I believe from what I recieved that if you feel sleepy and withdrawn that it very may well be because you need to rest and renew your strength for this coming time.

I have to admit that I have had trouble getting out of bed, but I am also waking up throughout the night more often than not--at least 3 or 4 times. And I do have trouble focusing. I also want to be away from people, it's like the vibrations are not very good.

*Blinks at jo*
... I've had VERY similar movements.
Had trouble sleeping for about two weeks now. Waking up a lot. Getting up in a very achy body. Not had trouble focusing, but I've not been as good as I usually have. Also, not so much wanting to be away with people, but I'm not "present", as it were.. Trapped in thought a lot, leaves a lot of silence when I'm with people.. Of course they drag me out of thought by asking if I'm okay...
.. But yes, something isn't right. So I started practising with energy again. Going to try and get strong with my energy to try and be beneficial to myself and those around me...

My mind has always been very sharp and even when I am tired I have been able to focus and get things done. Some of my best work, writing, homework, and creative thoughts have come from when I was tired. I've also have had the best memory of anyone I have known... but lately I've had less energy and have been sleeping more and given my previous experience my creative mind would be thriving because my physical side is resting more but it is not.
My memory has not been as sharp and I have been forgetting things, something that is starting to bother me. I don't know what it could be but the suggestions above may be true. I don't want any of you to pick up on my vibration so DON'T. It wouldn't be beneficial.
