If you don’t have the energy, vigor, desire and physical strength to get out of bed - welcome to the asthenic club! But there is good news - any physical ailment or disease signals to us that we are living incorrectly... Lately, I have even more often begun to think about what comes first, the body or the brain... According to ICD 10: “Asthenic syndrome is a condition manifested by increased fatigue and exhaustion, weakening or loss of the ability for prolonged physical and mental stress." What to do when you have absolutely no strength and it seems that you will fall and will never get up again? Eliminate (at least temporarily) advisors from your life. You have a neighbor, Aunt Glasha, and she believes that the state you are in is laziness, stupidity and whim! And her words only make things worse for you, since you also have a feeling of guilt that during the war women worked the land and made shells and raised children, but you can’t get out of bed, wow! Yes, it was like that - they raised, made, plowed, performed feats and it’s amazing! But then, exhaustion still set in and it was inevitable. Times are changing, the world is changing and human psychology is no exception - once upon a time physical labor was exhausting, but now mountains of information “how to do it right” and non-compliance with the “ideal” take away strength. Reduce the number of chores around the house (this is especially true for perfectionists and pedantic ones). You can do cleaning half as often, cook simple food, take your child to clubs and sections less often, do not exhaust yourself with training (temporary measures until improvement). Strengthen your personal boundaries. Why is this necessary in a situation of exhaustion, you ask? And you'll be right! Then, what if Grisha’s mother “weaves and spins and cleans the house...”, and you serve boiled potatoes for lunch, then a feeling of guilt may arise, a desire to prove to the world that you are a wonderful housewife! But there is very little strength and it keeps flowing away and flowing away... and pickles for lunch are not a first necessity! Or your friend’s parents help her - spend time with the child, take her to clubs, so she has time for self-care and it frees up, it seems to you that you should meet the same standard. But in fact, you have completely different life situations - you are in different weight categories. Therefore, you need to keep track of why you need this or that activity or business and understand where your needs are and where they are imposed. Take care of your health. Moderate sports help a lot - swimming, water aerobics, dancing. Walking in the fresh air is a must. Night work is not for you. Also, you need to contact a neurologist for advice and possible prescriptions. Don't forget to eat. Sleep more and more often - with your child. If you are a weather-sensitive person, get tired quickly and are prone to introversion, then you are more likely to be at risk. Therefore, it is very important to monitor your condition. Be sure to do what you love - this is what will help replenish your strength! Everyone has something different - drawing, sports, reading, watching movies. Life is boring without what you love. Try to communicate with friends more often, but this is only if they are not pessimists or whiners, but really interesting and pleasant people for you. Otherwise, communication will only deplete you. If the state of exhaustion is not uncommon for you, then you may need psychological help in order to understand what psychological reasons, in addition to physiological ones, underlie asthenia. Finally, I would like to note that from childhood we are taught various skills - literacy, reading, hygiene, etc., but how to take care of yourself is usually not covered anywhere; caring for the state of soul and body is considered almost selfishness and strangeness. But in fact, no one except yourself is interested in your health, and even your closest and dearest person will not live your life for you. Therefore, make yourself happier yourself, then your child, looking at you, will learn to take care of himself.
