Tired

im so tired all the time. I think physically and mentally and i feel if i leave alone i could literally sleep none stop. I had blood tests but ive taken my iron and foliatic acid pills so i doubt theres anything wrong so i dont understand. I just feel so fed up.

 counselling mades me tired as well. I don’t know if counselling can be what makes you tired lol? Just a lot to process. Is with rape crisis. & She called it kidnap and i don’t know just dont really think of those words for it & then with those words it does sound like it wasnt my fault
But said its probably not impossible to just not wee for 3 days. But she said thinks its impossible. But i havent said the words like wee at all in counselling but said if i do ever say out loud that can take away the power of the assocations of it being disgusting. 

 Yesterday we talked about drinking more water, i dont drink that much and i have tried drinking more but still tired.

    Hey @Shaunie I know from experience how awful it can be to be feeling tired all the time so it's understandable what you're going through. Even if there's nothing physically that's making you feel tired there are a lot of different reasons why you might be feeling like that so try not to get too frustrated.

    It might sound strange but things that can be emotionally draining, like going to counselling like you mentioned, can still make you feel physically tired or worn out. Try not to push yourself too hard on days when you're having to do a lot of things that might be emotionally draining. Another thing that can affect how tired you're feeling is just doing too much without realising it, which is a lot easier to do than it sounds.

    Trying to drink more water is a good goal, it might not help you feel less tired but it's just good for your health overall so do your best to keep up with it. How has your counselling been going otherwise? It sounds like you're doing really well and I hope you keep it going, remember that we're all rooting for you here! :)

    Thank you counselling is going well otherwise
    but ive literally spent all day in bed and im still in bed and just keep sleeping then waking up & dont think that its because i sleep too much either cause i try to wake up at normalish time and go out but im so tired when out and come back just to sleep. Im so tired still and ive slept enough and i just want to go back to sleep but i cant really cause my family will think ive overdose if i over sleep too much. I really hope something shows up on my blood tests. Maybe i have diabetes or something. But i dont think that would show. Tho i have only been this extremly tired since counselling i think. Ive been googling like energy pills but all that comes up is multi vitatims which i am taking aswell. I want to go out today but i just kept setting alarms in case i fal back to sleep ajd i did. And everytime my alarm when off i just stayed awake for a bit then went back to sleep. My whole feels tired like my legs, my eyes and i just feel weak. If dont hear from my gp about bloods by tuesday ill ring them

    Hey Shaunie,

    Just wanted to pop on to see how you are doing?

    Feeling tired all the time sounds very difficult, hopefullly when you get your blood test results you'll know a bit more about if anything is going on. 

    Keep us posted on how you're doing, we are here for you :heart::smile:

    Hi @Shaunie

    Also wanted to check up on how you are doing and just to share some hugs!  

    Feeling tired all the time can be caused by lots of different things, so you did the right thing by getting some blood tests. Hopefully those results can give you a helpful direction, and if not perhaps you could have another chat with your GP about what else it could be. 

    Good luck, it would be really good to hear how you get on. :heart:

    Thank yous

    my blood tests have shown im a bit anemic but not sure if will need meds or not or even see the doctor cause i dont think that low. Idek how im anemic causw i barely have periods and ive been taking iron pills sooo. I know it can be from lack of eating but still i take supplements. Maybe im bleeding somewhere internally. 

    Can self harm cause anemia ?

    Hi Shaunie, that might start to explain some of the tiredness then? Can you get a follow up appointment with your GP so they can explain to you why and what next steps could be - I’m assuming as you said you weren’t sure what happens next, they told you over the phone?

    I know anemia is pretty common and not always clear what the reason is so best to speak to your GP really. My blood tests occasionally show mild anemia and I don’t have periods either, and eat well, they said to me some people are just more prone to it than others.

    Hey @Shaunie I'm glad to hear that you were feeling better after your counselling yesterday, I know you've posted about it a lot so it's great that it seems to be helping you :). Hopefully your doctor's appointment on Monday goes OK and it manages to help you stop feeling so tired. Have you got anything planned for the weekend?

    Hey Shaunie, sorry to hear you're feeling bad after your appointment. Hopefully the vitamins will help <3 . Do you mind me asking why you were blunt about saying no to the eating disorder service? 

    Glad to hear counselling went well last week, do you have another session this week?
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,681 Skive's The Limit
    It kinda made me feel proud about all my low vitamins. Cause its because i dont eat enough.

    Ive been given a few vitamins and ones to get OTC from savers so i did get them ones too. And take about 4 pills before bed and three in the morning. 3 vitamins 1 anti depressant. Just one vitamin says to be taken once daily. But nearly every time, a few mins after. I feel so many heart palpuations. Am i suppose to take them all at the same time?

    Hey Shaunie,

    Sending hugs, how are you feeling? As we're not medical professionals it may be worth contacting 111, or speaking to you GP about how you are feeling, how would you feel about doing that? :heart:

    We care about you, hope you feel better soon, :smile:

    Wow @Shaunie that jigsaw looks like it's gonna be hours of fun! How far have you got with it so far?

    Also, dreams and sleep are such an interesting biological phenomenon. Have you ever come across the book 'Why We Sleep' by Matthew Walker? 

    In that book, the author - who is a bit of a genius in neuroscience - points out that we must sleep for a reason. Otherwise, from a survival perspective it doesn't make sense to switch ourselves off for a third of our lives. And then for dreams, they must also be serving some survivalist purpose - otherwise they'd have been removed by natural selection too. 

    Do you have any opinions about your dreams?

    I think i will share the dreams with my counsellor. 

    Today i add my dreams from today. 

    Which was 

    -Was stuck inside a massive floating bananna for 3 days to win £30 and went round jumping in B&M in it. 

    -Was walking to school i left ages ago

    i was facing similar problem but my problem was because of less sleeping hours and i was not time to exercise i spent most of my time in front of laptop i discuss my problem with my friend he suggested me do 2 things before go to doctor for health examination he suggested me increase your sleeping hours 8 to 9 hours and do not overeat exercise daily or any other physical activity because Inactivity could be the root cause of your low energy.believed me it changed me now i not feel tiered all the time only when i do some physical activity but not all the time as i feels before this.

    How did it go with talking to your counsellor about the dreams? 

    Also hope you've managed to finish the jigsaw! Looks awesome  :)
