Back to melancholy

I don't feel like doing anything. I am done with studying. I am tired. I cannot go on. Feels like it. 

I think I am melancholic again. I am lacking energy and I lack intent right now. I want to study but can't!
Rough patch it seems.
Do you face this sometimes? What do you do ?

When you are tired, it's best just to get some sleep. Your mood will improve with sleep. Have a good day.

@Dreamerby You should be realistic in your thinking. Hallucinations are not good

@allknowing Not hallucinations. I overthink in the sense of how things could go wrong.

Yes hoping so. I think most of my melancholy days are because of overthinking. I am trying to get rid of that.

I feel like this most of the time, and I put it down to my personality type, being a bit negative, and withdrawn, but I try to not let it worry me, and the life itself normally throws something my way, to get me doing something again.
This morning, I was feeling the same way, but then, I wrote an article on mylot, that enlivened me up a bit, by the writing.
Meal times, also get us to do something, normally too.
It is very rarely that we really cannot go on, as some stimulus of life will usually get us moving along a bit somehow, someway, or another.
We just need to keep breathing, and not feel too sorry for ourselves, I guess.
We need to realise that a mood is of the mind, and body, and so reach up to the love in you still, by doing something easily, that you can do; talk to someone, go for a walk, and so lift yourself away from the mood, and melancholy, by doing something different, and easy to do, right now. Stretch, do an exercise; anything that stops thought, spiralling you down, into a moody melancholy of negative despair.

@dreamerby I thrive on melancholy. In fact my wife says I’m wedded to it.

Relax a few days and just look at your current challenges and way forward. Brekadown each thing you do as a challenge to conquer and take a small new activity that you have not done before. It will help you to take care of rest of the things. Some people get focussed on studies , when they aim to get a job to feed a needy or take care or a pet. Some people get motivated to do certain things for certain reasons. You should have to find your trigger and then your life should be back to normal. There are much sadness and gloom across the world and well , if we can we cn mke some moments better. Take care!
