No energy

I find that when I am repeatedly put into changed circumstances or new social relationships through work, school, etc., I have less energy or will for voluntary social activity.

I've been limiting my interactions with people. I notice that I've pulled in my ring of potential people to socialize with to about three people. My housemate just suggested a board game night, and I didn't really want to commit to a day or have anything to do with planning it. It all sounded like effort. Last month, I was excited to have one.

I just feel tired and drained almost all of the time now. I'm perfectly happy to sit home and while away my time on the computer or reading a book. Last night I made a trip out to Target, but with the goal of getting myself more things to make my surroundings comfortable.

And that makes me think: why did I move to a big metropolitan area where rents are higher if all I'm going to do is work and hole up in my apartment? I'm going for a walk tomorrow with one of the three inner circle friends, but I'm not meeting new people (aside from co-workers) or going to any big social engagements. I'm not quite sure if I should be fighting this, or if I just need to let my work situations play out until I reach an equilibrium.
