Hi, I’m study physiotherapy and am in my first year. I’ve been trying really hard to stay on top of all my work but I’m just feeling really tired burntout and just overall exhausted. I don’t have any motivation to go out/join clubs/ talk to people in my flat. So I just hide away in my room doing work til late at night. I’m at home for the weekend and even now, when not doing work I’m exhausted and just want to lie in bed all day. Can someone try and make sense of this for me? Am I sick? Is this normal? Will it get better? It’s making me question whether it’s something I wanna do

Talk to your coursemates whether they are just as tired.
Do make the effort with flatmates and get across you arent being anti social just knackered.
Hiding in your room sounds dull and counterproductive . Make a small effort even if its just sharing a hot drink in the kitchen and chatting.
If you continue to be run down check for things like iron deficiency or vitamin B.

Mood. I'm in my final year of college so not got it quite as bad as you, but I had to email my art teacher this morning and tell him that I didn't want to be alive anymore due to workload and chronic illness, and needed an extension on the final deadline. That was after me not showing up to lesson for a week. I haven't eaten in.. a while. It's tough, but we'll both get through it ! Things always brighten up eventually

Are you currently enjoying what you're studying? How are your marks looking?
