I stressed myself out so bad last semester cause I was in 7 classes 2 research programs and I went genuinely kind of crazy. As soon as break started I began playing 12 hours of Hades 2 a day and binging The Diplomat and that’s all I did. And I was having a ton of trouble starting work this semester because of residual stress

But idk make sure you’re eating enough, getting a consistent sleep schedule, try to see the sun when it’s day and see the dark when it’s night to keep your circadian rhythms in check
Winter will also make things worse, I’m always super tired in winter because it’s fucking COLD and my body hates the cold

had to force myself to start writing again, start playing games instead of going home and staring at the ceiling from my exhaustion

The things that count as “relaxation” in your brain are subjective and practice is what turns a creative endeavor from “work” into something relaxing

Idk I think Atlas and I are coming at this from different angles and interpreting you as having the problem that each of us individually has. IDK which problem you have. You have to figure that out. Try eating substantial meals or try just making yourself do it and see which works better
