Couldn't be me lol hardly anything can stop me from doing it unless I'm in shaking the table lol

I went through a phase like this during the covid lockdown a few years ago too  The feeling of "I can do more than this" will keep you restless, and the root of the problem runs deep in our societies. But then I came across this book & it helped unpack the issue a bit 

 

 

you can listen to one of the author's interviews if you dont have time to read

it's the only thing i know how to do, unfortunately

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

I actually don't know how to be productive so I just rot in place.

A lot of y'all did not read the post  I keep getting people think I mean physical restlessness. It's not physical. I can be still, physically 

[dumbsparce]

Sounds like you got bored of your hobbies. Have you tried playing video games while old pre-maternity Trisha Paytas videos are playing in the background? I heard that helps a lot.

Yes

 

[Smarticle]

only felt this way after a big exam

[Hyune]

Nope I just lay in bed as a coach potato

 

 

I should be sorting stuff out preparing to make the house look sellable but haven't done anything. I wish I had motivation to never sit still at least things would be done

I used to be this way, to the point where I felt bad for sitting and being at peace. I'm not like that anymore. Of course, I still do have a desire to be productive—but I don't feel bad for allowing myself to rest anymore. I've gotten to the point where I've become burned out before, and it's a terrible feeling; my body definitely made me stop.

No I can't. Always have to the doing something to the point of exhaustion
