Tired at the end of the day?

Does anyone else fine they are just exhausted come the end of the day? I am sleeping well, and I am fine when I am working (I work from home most of the time, so it's not like there is lots of social interaction to burn me out - just occasional zoom meetings).  I don't have any problems with my energy, but once I have finished, walked my dog and had something to eat, I just have nothing left in the tank.  Literally all I want to do is go and sit in bed.

I used to indulge in my hobbies and special interests in the early evening, but they have all just gone by the wayside as I just have nothing left, nor much motivation to do anything as I am so tired. I just sit in bed with Apple TV on.

Does this resonate with anyone else?  I never used to have this problem, but I just seem to have no energy at all these days once work is done.  Exercise doesn't seem to help much either.

    I'm tired after about an hour of being awake. Lol. No matter how well I sleep I'm always exhausted once I wake up, like I'm not sleeping properly even though I am. My doctor thinks I might have fatigue. I think it's just autism where my brain is always thinking and worrying and trying to process everything. When I think about it it's no wonder I'm always shattered.

    It resonates with me a lot. When you're constantly tired you have no energy for anything, even your hobbies and interests. This has been my experience. If I were you I'd see your doctor so they can make sure nothing untoward is causing your tiredness but in my case nothing has been found. 

    I hope you start to feel less tired. Constantly being tired is no fun.

    Have you tried learning to use meditation? There are practical versions of it that fit well with normal lives and are great for calming a hyperactive mind. I certainly find it helps me relax and focus when the "what if..." cycle starts.

    It doesn't work for everyone but it may be worth considering if it brings some peace.
