I'm mentally hyper and want to work on my art, music, etc, but I feel like crap physically right now and its making me too exausted to move. What do?

[TheSpaceGnome]

How do I deal with the fatigue of crunch time conflicting with my desire to just keep going on and on and on like the energizer bunny or phillip j fry after drinking 100 cups of coffee? I'm unhappy with my stamina levels, and yes, I know I need sleep, but I don't wanna lol.

I recognize this from my burnout. Your body is so fatigued it released stress hormones so now your mentally experiencing the effects as if you already had a stimulant.

You do need to lay down and physically rest, but in that state I came up with a new education system, solution to the migrant crisis in my country and an enhanced version of democracy.

So while you physically rest feel free to think about something you want to come up with a solution to since now is a great time to do it.

So relatable :c (even the part about political reform ideas).
I'm already in bed but I hate it.
I wanna make stuff >.<

You will get more restless / anxious for a bit, its very normal as this survival instinct will kinda peak. But once your over the peak you will feel nice and relaxed again. You do need to just let it go, you are way to close to a physical burnout if you are not already in one.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Definitely already in one :l

Yeah so the last thing you want to do is make it worse. This is written for a different state but has enough overlap : Burnout Experiences: Cleaning Your Mind Back to Sanity ↗

I believe I’ve had a similar feeling before…. I just waited until the next day or two or three.

[TheSpaceGnome]

It makes it really hard to sleep, too much anticipation and excitement built up.

[dustybiker2]

Write down notes for tomorrow? So you don't lose your ideas from tonight. You might even improve on them/tweak by then.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yeah I wrote down 73 notes so far in the past 2 hours @강지영앟_@

Can I see your art?

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, You live in another country that isn't subject to united states copyright laws, and I'm not interested in showing my signature on gag either. plus I don't want my art being fed to a generative AI 's dtabase
