Why is it that anytime I try to relax I just end up feeling lazy?!
Question: It seems I can't sit still. It makes me feel unproductive and lazy. How can I unwind?

maybe you just are anxious? or energetic.. or maybe you haven't worked enough to be tired. Or, worked enough such that you feel guilty/anxious/etc.. about the other stuff you need to be/could be doing.
maybe you've just been conditioned to think that relaxation has to mean sitting idly & doing nothing. Wouldn't be a surprise considering the sedentary society we live in.
Maybe relaxation for you means playing a sport, or something more active, or otherwise more engaging than what you've been trying.
.. if none of that works, (& you don't have an addictive personality) you could try smoking a j, (or beer etc.. )
Don't think that there are only Certain Ways to relax. If your not relaxed, they ain't Relaxing.
I'm the energetic type, but maybe even going in the complete opposite direction-
download some free calming meditation music & try yoga (Youtube 'beginner yoga')
Maybe your watching tv or something that you think is relaxing, but for whatever reason is kinda stressing ya.
get a bottle of whiskey and relax
smoke weed
Type A personality?
Before you relax you should set up a plan to accomplish a certtian number of things in the day. Once they are done try relxing; since you already accomplished what you set out to do it should be easier.
Maybe you need to find a different way to relax. Instead of relaxing by watching TV relax by reading a book.
Find something that relaxes you that is also productive, such as some kind of arts and crafts or maybe something outdoorsy.
having sex is relaxing and productive...
u might also check the sugar and caffeine content of your diet.
