Can't be arsed with anything

[Itsnotmesothere]

I work weekends. Today it's been overcast and I've felt quite tired; I've felt a bit guilty but I've just had a day at home with toddler DS.

I'd say most days we are out, we go to the park, beach or a toddler group and take a picnic with us. If I'm up and showered I have no problem summoning up the motivation to go out. I mostly enjoy our little outings.

The problem I have is, aside from entertaining DS, I have no enjoyment in activities I previously enjoyed. I'm just spending hours on my phone. I've bought books but don't seem to want to read them. I tried to find something entertaining on Netflix but hated searching. I tried to watch a film but I couldn't concentrate. I don't want to do anything artistic. I tried a crossword, I put it down. Gaming is too frustrating. I'd love to sit on the sofa eating cake all day but that's obviously not healthy so I'm not.
Has anyone else felt like this and moved past it? I feel like I'm wasting any time I have to myself.

We all have days where leaving the house seems like the worst idea in the world.

Relax, you DC isn't going to grow up and remember those days you lounged around, they'll remember the ones you went to the beach/park.

Recoup & try again tomorrow

Yes. I’m only 8+5 but I can not be bothered with anything
I’ve become so lethargic . Like you I have become obsessed with my phone and have to switch it off and put it away somewhere to get anything done

I'm 11+1. The fatigue is passing but yes, lethargic is the word for me.

I'm the same. I've been exhausted for most of the last two months and it's slowly starting to pass now (13+2 weeks) but I still just can't get myself into action to do anything energetic really. Currently been sat on my phone for about two hours 😮 The house is suffering as a result but I'm thinking that it's not forever. Hoping that what people say about having more energy in the second trimester is true.

I'm in the same boat. Feeling too tired and nauseous. As soon as I arrive home from work, I just want to lie on the sofa and have a power nap. The house is a mess and getting more takeaways than actually cooking because I'm just knackered.

I felt like this yesterday and I didn't leave the house. I knew if I went out for a walk or something I'd feel so much better but instead I just sat on my phone, wasting my Sunday and beating myself up about it! I'd try and put your phone in a draw even just for an hour - you'll feel loads better afterwards!

So glad it's not just me. Here's to a more energetic and less phone filled day today!
