There is a type of restlessness that doesn't really have a name.
It is in between several different states.
When you are too exhausted to focus on anything. Too restless to actually fall asleep and have a nap. Not enough energy to actually work on anything important. Not physically able to work out. Not feeling creative or up to cleaning (again with the lack of focus from utter exhaustion). Not hungry but starting to eat out of boredom.
This is by far the most frustrating state to be in, apart from serious pain. Lying down because you don't feel like you can stay awake only to be too restless to actually fall asleep. Bored with no energy to do or watch anything.
I needed something simple, mundane, not urgent, and short-lived. I actually needed several of those somethings.
So I made random lists. Lists of songs from another list. Rewriting out a few recipes. Making the bed. Folding towels.
Not focusing but not sitting entirely still. Wasting time until my body decided to pick one of the extremes.
Only bad part?
That feeling has come back again today. In fact, I get this feeling quite a lot. It is one of the reasons I tend to watch the same movies I love over and over and over. Something to do that does not require energy expense. Something where, if I miss parts or fall asleep, it does not matter if I fall asleep.
Such a frustrating feeling that cannot be helped.
Any ideas on what we should call it?
Exhaustively restless?
Physically demanding boredom?
