Restless and apathetic; feeling it?

[JSR]

The last few weeks I've been feeling both restless and apathetic. I spend hours each day doing absolutely nothing. Refreshing facebook on my web browser, wandering the apartment with no real goal, staring into space. If I try to actually do something like playing a game or watching a show I quickly get restless and want to do something else, without knowing what. So I can rarely decide on anything to do, and end up doing nothing instead. Take today as an example: I've eaten some chocolate while reading this forum, put my dirty t-shirt in the pile of dirty clothes, went to my bedroom and lied on the bed for 20 minutes, wandered a bit in the apartment while slapping stuff to the rhythm of the music I'm listening to, and nothing else. And that's all I've been doing for the last four hours. The worst part is that I don't really seem to mind. While doing nothing I'm not actually bored, and very relaxed. It just seems like a waste of so much time, especially as there are tons of other things I could and should be doing. I even have a couple of games I just bought that really deserve my time.

This might just be a "phase" that will pass soon, and probably nothing to worry about. But I'm still annoyed by how much time I spend doing literally nothing. Anybody else experienced similar things sometimes? Advice for breaking out of this state?

I've had this before, usually during winter months. Crap weather plays havoc with me. Good thing I live in Glasgow (for now, at least), right?

Right now I'm too busy, but yes, I know exactly the feeling.

I have been like this as well, over the last month or so

I've done this loads of times. Sometimes it is great to just disengage your brain and relax. It can go on for a few weeks or just a few hours, depends on how busy I am really.

I get like this every now and then where I can't particularly focus on something to do. Usually a decent walk outside spurs some life into me.

Sounds like you don't have enough activities in your life other than the internet/TV/video games. Are you in a relationship? Do you exercise much? Do you work? Are you feeling depressed? You are displaying some classic traits of depression; lack of motivation/apathy/lack of focus etc

Could be the seasonal disorder (SAD)

Also have to agree with what Lyris says here as I notice that my mood dips to this state usually on a miserable day. Something to do with atmospheric pressure I would suspect.

I've just accepted this. I sit on IRC when I'm not working.

When i feel like this I knock one out while staring at Speedlolita's avatar.

Which is most of the time.

Today i've started at least 10 videogames, turned most of them off the moment I died, then back on Facebook.

For future reference.

Yup, you don't have enough to do.

Do something planned (even if you only planned it the same day), get out of the house and meet real people.

That's me most days but s/facebook/twitter/.
Today I should be studying for my 2 finals tomorrow but I really don't feel it. I had yesterday off work as well to study but I've basically spent the weekend with a streaming cold and feeling like turd.

I have been feeling a lot like this lately but started reading again. It seems to be the only thing to hold my attention for any length of time.

For future reference.
