Hi, could you please advise what to do about a lack of energy? It's hard for me to wake up, I'm lazy all day, and if I do something, it comes with difficulty and without much desire. On one hand, there's no reason to get up since I'm not working. Yes, I go to the gym, run, and swim in the pool in the mornings. But when it comes to just sitting down and reading books for even a couple of hours a day, I can't make myself do it, even though I want to. On one hand, this could be hormonal, or due to entertaining myself online or reading bad news, with my psyche constantly on edge. On the other hand, it could be something parasitic or inflammatory, since no matter how many times I've had blood tests, there's been a signal of that. Although I periodically drink wormwood (bitter wormwood). Third, it could be due to the lack of a strong goal that would really switch me over or pull me out of stagnation. For example, I could go study at an institute to change my profession, and to have more job opportunities, but that doesn't excite me, even if I were guaranteed my life would improve afterward. Fourth, maybe the transits aren't favorable. I've asked AI, nothing fits right.

What are your habits like? Are you constantly seeking short term dopamine hits? Social media? Short form content? Junk food? Porn? You could be constantly putting your nervous system in fight or flight mode and this will result in you not being able to focus and recover properly. I think you outlined pretty well a few of the issues. I'll outline some things that have helped me in a similar situation that could help you as well.
If you are consuming caffeine greatly reduce this or cut it out entirely(not recommend quitting cold turkey). Caffeine is the most widely accepted drug in the modern era but all is does is just steal your energy away. Like taking out a bank loan, you are taking energy away from the future.
You should disconnect from any news or social media for at least a week. I've done complete dopamine detoxes but man do they suck.
Try adding blockers on your phone for certain apps so you do not waste time on just taking in useless information.
Build a strong spiritual foundation, consisting of breath work, meditation, and physical yoga, kundalini or hatha yoga. If you need help with this reply to this message and I will make something beginner friendly or make a new thread plenty of people here can help.
Find a goal to work towards, what do you want out of life? What do you want to accomplish? You gotta give yourself some meaning. Have some vision for your life don't just go with the motions. A peer in one of my classes said "failing to plan is planning to fail." Take your life more seriously and apply yourself joy and motivation will come to you.
Even in the face of great adversity, DEFY ALL ODDS
