Loss of Interest
in Activities
There could be many reasons why someone may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed. It could be due to a change in circumstance, such as a job loss or a move to a new city, which has resulted in less free time. It could also be due to a change in mood, such as feeling depressed or anxious. In some cases, it may be a sign that someone is struggling with a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety.

There are many possible causes of fatigue and sleep issues in people with cancer. Treatment side effects, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, can cause fatigue. Cancer itself can cause fatigue, especially if the cancer is advanced. Depression, anxiety, and stress can also lead to fatigue and sleep problems.
There are a number of ways to help manage fatigue and sleep issues in people with cancer. Strategies to reduce fatigue may include taking breaks during the day, resting when possible, and scheduling activities so that they are not too strenuous.

Learn to Say No
One of the most important things you can do for your mental health is to learn to say no. When you are constantly saying yes to others, you are over-committing yourself and not giving yourself enough time for yourself. This can lead to feeling overwhelmed and stressed out.
Instead, learn to say no when you don’t have the time or energy for something. You can also say no to invitations that you don’t really want to attend. This will help you to manage your time and energy better, and will leave you with more time and energy to focus on your own needs.
