i guess i am tired..

i know how you feel.i am very young but sometimes i feel like tired and old because i had to grow up fast and i always had many responsabilities.sometimes i feel powerless but i have to get up and go on.i feel like i am going crazy because there is something heavy on my heart,but at the end you have to refresh yourself,to get up and go on.

You should take some vitamins to keep yourself healthy. Just have enough sleep,eat healthy foods. Most important, learn to rest and relax yourself once in a while. You deserve some break once in a while. You owe it to yourself.

There may be other reasons for your exhaustion other than physical labor or having too much responsibility thrust upon you before you are either old or mature enough to handle them. One of the most commonly known symptoms of depression is being tired or sleeping all of the time. There is even a condition known as chronic fatigue syndrome where the body has trouble refiling it's natural reserves and so you rremain exhausted all the time. If your exhaustion is adversly affecting your quality of life I recommend that you contact your doctor immediately and begin looking for the cause of your exhaustion.

Well this reminds me of the TV drama that is airing in my country now. It's about the daughters-in-law of a 300 year old traditional family which has been lasting for generations. It's talking about the sufferings of the daughters-in-law ever since they married into the family and that they have to learn everything even before they marry into the family or else they cannot be good wives. But then when the marry into the family, they have to learn much more, including being patient when they mothers-in-law scold them or what. Now I see the same picture here. Well I guess, this is part and parcel of life. As to why the eldest daughter or daughter-in-law is not doing everything and you're doing it, I don't know but then it's best to be patient and scrape through everything you can. If you're really tired, you could tell your mother-in-law and your family that you want a break and then go for a holiday, at least to let your mind relax a little while. It's no use having to do something plain everyday and getting upset at small little things. Just cool down, take a deep breath and everything will be ok

Maybe you need to visit your doctor. People should not get tired that often since our body adapts to whatever we're doing every day. Maybe you lack some vitamins or something.

I am sorry friend :( Sometimes we all just need some time away to recharge our batteries. Try relaxing! Have some green tea and take some time to reflect on what is really making you so tired. Good luck, Tomorrow is another day :)

yeah, we all feel tired at times. but it does not help if you condition your mind to feel tired. our physical body has limitations on strength and endurance. it can only do and take so much pressures. i hope you provide yourself enough cushion to take on these pressures and challenges. reward yourself for working hard. in this way, you reenergize yourself.

i think you should take a rest now and with a good sleeping maybe can recover your physical condition

Same as me! I am really feeling tired and exhausted the past few weeks. But unlike you, I don't have elderly responsibilities. It is just that work keeps on piling up and I have to extend way over my working limits too much. I need time for rest now. Everything seems fast paced at the workplace and I just ope I can still cope up with all the pressures and stress coming up. Good thing that whenever I am feeling pressured, I have some techniques to relieve my stress. But still, how I wish that all the stress and pressure will eventually vanish soon before it wash out my physical and mental states

Back in my college days, I wrote a paper on birth order. You are correct - first borns tend to feel that way from a young age because they are the first. All that a new parent(s) learn is experimented on the first born. All the next are just able to slide in to the family it seems. For some reason once the next baby comes, parents see the first born as all grown up and capable of doing stuff - no matter what his or her age. I studied this because I was a first born, and felt like I carried the weight of the family responsibilities on my shoulders. First borns are the ones who share in the worries parents have, and feel they must do something. I tried not to place those burdens on my daughter. She is almost eight years older than my son so it was difficult not to ask her to mind the baby if I wanted to take a shower or something. I think parents automatically turn to the oldest for help like that.
