How to use "Sluggish" in context?
Words cannot describe the way I feel when I'm sluggish. It starts with my head, and doesn't stop there. My body feels heavy and my reflexes are slow. I feel like there's a boulder on my chest and it's hard to breathe. Worst of all, I can't seem to focus on anything and I end up making mistakes. All of this makes me really unhappy and I wish I could speed up the process. I know that it's not just me, though. I've seen others Struggle with Sluggishness too and it's really frustrating.
