Apathy~ Why fight it - it's been one of*those* days folks:-)

i have days where it's rainy and i just want to sleep,tired for some reason.most times i can shrug it off,reminding myself if i won't do it,no one else will,and it'll just back up. sometimes though,the furry bad influences get on my lap and purr away and i end up falling asleep right beside them.

*Guilty as charged*, LOL. I do put off certain things that need be done mostly and my mom would nag at me, even when I'm all grown up now, ha! I call this my 'lazy moments' and I will always put off and have this mentality 'aah, to be done later'. But normally, I wouldn't complete it. So I guess I have to improve in this department. I so know where you are coming from with this.

Well Sweet I have had those Days the last 3 weeks and I can't seem to snap out of them at the moment My mind is spinning and working a lot on how to solve Problems with what is going on so I know those Days very well and sometimes I don't even want to get out of bed in the Mornings because I know I have to carry on thinking and work this over I hope that you will be able to race around tomorrow lol and get it all done Everyone is aloud Days like that you know Big Hug to you

This sort of "one of those days" is normal for me. I seem to know how long I can put things off. Dishes sit around 2-3 days. Trash now sits around for 2 weeks before I take it to the tip. Laundry gets done every 2 weeks. As well, I never do ironing, I rarely clean out most cupboards and it is taking longer to do the vacuuming and dusting. The onset of colder weather will make things worse. I tell myself I'm saving resources and energy and that's true but I sure need the exercise for one thing. There are just too many things that cut into myLot time. Besides there are other things to worry about. I need to see a doctor but he might want xrays so I'll have to go Tueday as they only do xrays on Tuesday. The pain in my shoulder is really bad and I also need some stuff from the chemist and it really can't wait till Tuesday. I need groceries but I don't have enough money to get what I need AND pay for fuel. It's a 120 klm round trip. I look outside and there is no green. Everything is brown and we've had no significant rain. My goats are nibbling all over but are they getting enough to eat? I'm hand feeding them but how long can I afford to do that. The little job I had that gave me a bit of pocket money to do a few things has gone. Even the sunshine is dull. My friends all have friends they knew before me and those friends come first. I'm alone and no-one seems to care. I don't feel sorry for myself but I do feel sad that people around me don't see someone who is alone and maybe lonely.

Yes get these all the time, but generally they come in week long stints! A couple of weeks ago I had a really horrible week. I guess we have to have them to appreciate the good days and weeks that come along!

I know those days only too well sweetheart and it can be very difficult to shake it off! Although I can do very little these days - when one of these days strikes I can't even bear to pick up the laptop or answer the phone! All these things will still be there when you feel up to it sweetheart - just don't wait to long or it will be overwhelming! xxx

OMG there really is SO MUCH I should be getting done but I'm still sick and after the whole accident thing this morning and standing out there first in barefeet and just my robe for about 10 mins then another 50 mins after I came in and got dressed I'm feeling EVEN CRAPPIER now....I know I need to get laundry done and I wanted to get the house tidied and my pants finished in case I do still go to Canada on Sat but I just want to go to bed..

Oh Yes! I have had those days. I've been having some lately. I sometimes persevere and end up doing them, but sometimes there is not way I can and I just give up and do my best to relax and get my energy back. I learned that sometimes it's better to go with the current instead of against it. Don't worry, you'll be able to catch up. Big hug

I deal with this all the time. In fact, its happening right now! LOL. My days off are intermittent and dragging myself out of this chair and to the house that is calling my name in a desperate call for help is more than I can take. I just want to sit and do nothing, while the dust continues to pile upon itself. It would be different if I had two days in a row, I could veg for one and run around like a lunatic the other, but only one, theres not enough hours to take care of it all.

oh, i have those sort of days too. I think it is when I have too much to do and I get overwhelmed and can't decide where to start and I spend the whole day trying to decide and as a result get absolutely nothing done. Sometimes I will make a pot of coffee and then just force myself to stop thinking and do. Other times I just chalk it up to a lost day in sid land and get a good nites rest and vow to do better tomorrow. Lack of sleep is , I've found, usually behind my lack of motivation.

Why fight it indeed? When I have one of *those* days, I'm afraid I'm always tempted to spend it doing as little as possible. That's where the internet comes in very handy, it's a fabulous way of timewasting and just mooching around. Unfortunately, life doesn't allow me to do as little as possible very often. Kids plus a fairly demanding lifestyle mean there's always something needs doing. So, if I need to get going then I find a whole series of little jobs gets me going. Putting on a pot of coffee, emptying the compost, feeding the animals ... if I do little things and get some blood pumping, sooner or later I forget I'm feeling idle and before I know it I'm getting on as normal.

I certainly do have days like that. Sometimes I will give in and do the tasks at hand, sometimes I will put it off, if I know it is something my husband will get mad if I don't do I will usually do it, because I hate it when he nags me.

Ah... Four days before.. I was the same. I had exams, And I had to study. But all I ever did was sleep, procrastinating the schedule. Every night I used to sit down and make plans for the next day's study, but when it arrived, I just couldn't get my butt to rest at once place and study. Although this is not me, but when exams are close, this feeling just creeps in and I cant shrug it off. Neither can I get better off it. Seems like this is the only thing that I just cant fight. Well, lets do it that way.. Sleep away the Day.. bourne

We all have those days. :) It's not so much about apathy but more of procrastination. It's easy to ignore things that needed to get done and worry about them later. But hey! you deserve to give yourself a break once in a while. Just enjoy your day and be happy.

Oh yeah I get that feeling as well but there are times I need to fight it off especially when I am at work.. There are times I miss on a lot of work because of this. I am still trying to fight it off each day I feel it so I can get my work done.

Oh, I am very familiar with that feeling, goth! I suppose we all have them at times. Sometimes I can manage to shrug it off, but there have been plenty other times that I just go with the flow. After all, many of the things that seem to be so urgent to us will invariably still be there waiting for us tomorrow.

I think apathy is part of any humans life. We sometimes become apathetic at times when we do not feel like doing something. I cannot simply shrug off apathy unless I have a very good reason to deny its invitation.

I have a tendency to have these days very often. I am a self diagnosed procrastinator. Sure, you want to accomplish at least one task. But, then that might lead to something else, etc. On the days that I feel like this are usually bright and sunny. Yeah, I know. The cheeriness of the outdoors makes me not want to do much. However, the rain keeps me going.
