Song For a Saturday

“Myth is a human attempt to overcome our Reality, and that Naming gives us a sense of control over people and things and events. This incredible song radiates that feeling of rolling the stone of Sisyphus up the hill. Although the stone may roll back on us over and over again, and our repeated attempts may seem futile, it is our determination to keep trying and never to quit that grants us dignity and a sense of inner tranquility.”

Have you ever heard of depression tiredness? Depression tiredness is being mentally exhausted from trying to fight off all the negative thoughts that can make you feel worthless, meaningless, or unimportant.

It’s so much more than just feeling tired and can affect your life in many ways.
From your lifestyle to how you interact with others, sometimes it feels as if depression is inescapable.
To help put these complex feelings into words, here are a few ways depression tiredness can manifest.  


*4 EXPERT WAYS TO FIGHT 'Depression FATIGUE'everydayhealth.com*

1. Exercise Most Days of the Week (Even Just a Little Bit Counts)

Exercise might be the last thing you feel like doing if you’re encumbered by fatigue. But regular exercise actually boosts your energy and helps you feel less exhausted over time, says Goldman.

If you’re having a hard time getting started, simply start small and slowly add time to your routine. Most adults can stay healthy by fitting in 150 minutes (or 20 minutes a day) of moderate-intensity exercise (such as brisk walking) each week, according to exercise guidelines.

But even 15-minute walks can be energizing, according to the U.K. National Health Service.

2. Stick to the Same Bedtime Routine Every Night

When it comes to lessening fatigue, improving the quality of sleep is essential, and typically done via sleep hygiene, Goldman says. According to the CDC and the Sleep Foundation, good sleep hygiene includes doing the following:

• Eat dinner earlier. Having a heavy meal late at night kicks your digestive system into high gear, which can delay your ability to fall asleep.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the afternoon and evening. Caffeine is a stimulant that worsens insomnia, and while  alcohol may initially make you drowsy, it usually triggers wake-ups in the middle of the night.
• Go to sleep and wake up at the same times every day, including on weekends. A consistent pattern helps maintain your body’s circadian rhythm, the timing of its internal clock.
• Keep your bedroom quiet and dark. Noise and light can make falling asleep harder and cause frequent awakenings during the night. Donning an eye mask, hanging blackout curtains and using a white noise machine or even a fan help.
• Keep your bedroom cool. The ideal temperature for sleep is about 65 degrees Fahrenheit, but this may vary from person to person.
• Shut off electronics 30 minutes to an hour before bed and stash your cell phone and laptop in another room. Blue light emanating from their screens, scrolling through social media, or checking email can “turn on” your brain, delaying the transition to sleep.
  

3. Do Your Best to De-stress

Although stress is an everyday fact of most people’s lives, there are ways to lessen its effects and better manage any trying moments that pop up unexpectedly, according to Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente.

These include:

• Exercise. Along with boosting energy and lessening fatigue, exercise also causes your brain to release good-for-you chemicals that help keep you calm.
• Eat a nutritious diet. Nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains  improve both your physical and mental health.
• Take breaks. If a particular task is proving to be stressful, stepping away for a few minutes can lessen whatever tension or worry you’re feeling in that moment.
• Keep a journal. Recording your thoughts in writing or by drawing — on paper, in your cell phone, or on your computer — can release negative feelings before they become bottled up inside you.
  

4. Tell Your Doctor if You’re Struggling With Fatigue

If exhaustion interferes with your ability to go about your day, reach out to your doctor or therapist. This is especially important if the fatigue is not remitting, if it’s worsening, or if other symptoms of depression start to worsen, Goldman says.

Your doctor can check if a medication or underlying health issue is to blame. If a medication is causing your fatigue, your doctor may adjust the dose or, in some cases, suggest taking it at bedtime or switching to a different medication, according to Mayo Clinic.

Your fatigue could also be related to certain health conditions that are known to cause or contribute to fatigue. These could include:

• Anemia
• Anxiety disorders
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism
• Lupus
• Multiple sclerosis
• Pregnancy
• Traumatic brain injury
• Vasculitis
• 
  
  

It’s important to note that having fatigue does not necessarily mean that you have one of these conditions.

Wildflower


[Verse 1]
No better colour
Looked everywhere
Driving home every night
The shadows stay by your side

[Verse 2]
You built a city
All in your head
Triangle of ever light
It turns you on every night

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Need a companion, a hidden prayer
You know you're not losing your mind
What's left you make something of it
The sky and what's left above it
The way you want nothing of it
Baby, I'm yours

[Verse 4]
No better color, look everywhere
You built a city all in your head
You know you're not losing your mind
What’s left you make something of it
The sky and what's left above it
The way you want nothing of it, wildflower

I didn't think you'd understand me
How could you ever even try?
I don't wanna tiptoe, but I don't wanna hide
But I don't wanna feed this monstrous fire
Just wanna let this story die

Rage is a quiet thing
Well, you think that you've tamed it
But it's just lying in wait
Rage, is it in my veins?
Feel it in my face when
When I least expect it, hmm

Song for a Flyday

Norway

We were sleeping till
You came along
With your tiny heart
You led us in the wooden house
To share in all the wealth
Don't you know it's true, oh


Norway, a-a-ay, a-a-a-a-a-ay
Norway, a-a-ay, a-a-a-a-a-ay

Seven figures lead the hungry mob
The beast, he comes to you
He's a hunter for a lonely heart
In the season of the sun
Don't you know it's true, oh

Norway, a-a-ay, a-a-a-a-a-ay
Norway, a-a-ay, a-a-a-a-a-ay

Where you thinking that you're gonna run to now
With the beating of a tiny heart?
Hang onto the things that you're supposed to say
Millions of stars, they open to your breath


Norway, a-a-ay, ay
Norway, a-a-ay, ay
Norway, a-a-ay, ay
Norway, a-a-ay, ay

An emotionally unavailable mother is someone who has difficulty connecting with her children on an emotional level. She may be physically present but emotionally distant, or preoccupied with her own concerns. She may also have unresolved issues from her own past that impact her ability to form healthy attachments with her children.

Some signs of an emotionally unavailable mother include:

• Lacks emotional warmth and closeness
• Struggles to express love and affection
• Rarely empathizes with the child's feelings
• Avoids discussing emotions or feelings
• Minimal emotional support during hardships
• Often dismissive of the child's emotional needs
• Shows limited interest in the child's life
  

Children of emotionally unavailable parents may grow up expecting very little in their relationships. They may also experience a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including low self-esteem, difficulty forming healthy relationships, and a tendency to seek validation from others.

Some ways to heal from an emotionally unavailable parent include:

• Engaging your inner child
• Learning how to self-soothe
• Finding emotionally available people

An emotionally unavailable father is a father who is physically present but emotionally distant from their child. They may not be involved in their child's daily life, and may not show interest in their child's emotional needs or well-being.

Some signs of an emotionally unavailable father include:

• Prioritizing material things, other people, and their work over their children
  
• Avoiding emotional conversations with their children
• Not providing emotional support, validation, or affection to the child
• Showing little interest in their child's life

• Being unapproachable in vulnerable moments
  

Children raised by emotionally unavailable parents may develop coping mechanisms that can lead to relationship issues, low self-esteem, and mental health struggles.

The roses on the lawn
Don't know wich side you're on
In a daze, it will change
Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel

The voices in the hall
Will carry on their talking
Carry weight you can't take

Wishes on a wheel
Is it even real?

The contact that you make
The moment when a memory aches
Who can tell?
You do it well

Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel?

One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice
One in your life
It happens once and rarely twice

The roses on the lawn
Won't know which side you're on
On that hill, forever still

Wishes on a wheel
How's it supposed to feel?
Wishes on a wheel
Wishes on a wheel
