Every year, I find myself more and more like my father, in some specific ways. Many of the changes, like increased social opennes, are welcome signs of maturity. Others seem like marks of decay, and I’m not sure if resisting helps at all.
As a child I couldn’t understand coming home from work and then dozing off in front of a TV. There were so much things to do, more interesting and varied! Nowadays, it mostly seem cozy. Actively doing something is tiring and most passive forms relaxation are rather boring. This still mostly applies to me when I’m tired. But each passing year makes me a bit more tired.
How old are you? A 50 year old man, coming home after a hard day’s work and then finding that a nap seems appealing is a somewhat different situation, when compared to a 35 year old man doing the same thing. Age will, among other things, sap your energy, but the question of whether it’s happening to an important or surprisingly strong degree is an important one.
Late twenties. My issues, fortunately, are mostly due to poor sleep and depression, and not due to inherent age-based decay. The point was more that I can now better understand why people do that, when it seemed really bizarre to me only a few years ago.
As someone in their late 20s, who suffers from depression and sheer exhaustion after a day of work, yeah, you have my sympathies. Fortunately I haven’t hit the nadir, which is dozing off during movies like my dad does. I hope you manage to find treatment that works for you.
