So what's worse?

Recommended Posts

Being mentaly tired or phycialy tired?

I've noticed lately that mentaly tired is way more draining then when I used to do physical labor.

When I was doing phycial work I'd get off work and still be able to do stuff. Like work out or something active.

Lately when I get off work I'm just so mentaly drained I don't want to do anything else.

How do I fix this?

Get a new job?

But yeah, I agree... physical tiredness is nice, it's almost relaxing - a release. Mental tiredness is a whole different animal - I call it emotional exhaustion. Affects sleep and the ability to be functional. Been experiencing quite a bit of that lately with all that's been going on in my little corner of the skydiving world and in my personal/professional life.

I don't have any real answers.

I think that mentally tired is worse.

Find a friend to work out with or do stuff with. I actually belong to an Adventure club here in Gainesville that does all kinds of stuff, including outdoor and social. Joining was one of the best things that I have done. I have meet some great people and I get to do the stuff that I enjoy. ;)

Mentally tired is definitely worse.

Some suggestions to combat it:

1. Take care of your health through nutrition and exercise.
2. Take frequent short breaks during the day. Take a walk and get away from your work environment...even if it is for 5 minutes at a time. (I used to do this and people would ask where I was going. I told them it was my smoke break. They would reply that I didn't smoke. My answer was, 'yeah, I know'.)
3. Take time at home to put headphones on and listen to your favorite music.
4. Pick up a really good book or rent a really good movie.

Those are just a few. There's many more.

Good luck,
Chris

There have been doctors who tried to figure out what was worng with me. They've all retired or refused to treat me. This is a half truth in a way. I did have one doctor decide he couldn't help me with my problems and another who retired 4 months into therapy.

When you're mentally tired, you still need to exercise-but something that doesn't use your brain. Swimming laps helps-it's mindless and the water just feels so damn good!
