Over sleeping and tired

All I do is stay in bed either a sleep or just lying their with my eyes closed not asleep cause I feel too tired to even open my eyes. Barely get out of bed until 2pm. Then I go downstairs and sleep on the sofa anyway. But get woken up all the time. 

I’m fed up. I just want lots of energy 😣

any advice please?

What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    It’s worth getting your iron levels checked if you haven’t already. That’s one thing I’ve struggled with in the past and it does make you very very tired.

    Hi @Shaunie

    Some fab responses above so would of course echo those. This is exactly how I felt for a few weeks, and one thing that helped me the most was to force myself to go out somewhere. I said yes to meeting up with my friend even though I wasn't really feeling up to it at the time, however even just something simple like going for a walk or joining somebody on a trip to the shops etc would be just as good. Just a change of scenery, and company if possible, really helped to shift my mind-set and started to encourage a little more energy inside me. May be worth a try, I hope you are feeling better in yourself soon! :heart:

    Thank you guys. 

    I think I mostly need a routine and to do more stuff. And get blood tests done but I don’t wake up early enough to ring for an appointment lol. 

    So cause like of incident of me saying I can’t go on the tils I haven’t been able to do overtime. But I was like na fuck it. I’m still going to do overtime and just refuse again. And see what happens. But then I was like ah shit. Maybe I should ask just incase. So I emailed HR. and she said do not worry you will not be required to go on tills again and to mention the store managers name if anyone keeps asking me. Like whattt lol the senior manger said if I do overtime I will be asked. So yeah they must of spoke since then I dunno. But she replied very quickly to the email so she must of knew

    Hey @Shaunie, so has the work situation with the tills and getting overtime been sorted now? Sounds like the person in HR is looking out for you so I really hope everything turns out OK :) 

    In terms of always feeling tired, and looking for other ways to find energy, is there any sort of quite simple task, e.g. cross stitching or drawing or gardening, that you enjoy doing? Often just having a simple task that you can do with a bit of Netflix on in the background can be really therapeutic <3

    Yeah it’s all seems to be sorted now. Just has the phone call with occupational health they said he will say to not let her on tills and to be understanding of when I feel more anxious

    it always feels awkward speaking about my mental health with someone who i don’t know if understands mental health

    um I’m not sure. I don’t have many hobbies
