I spend a lot of time in my bed. Half the day normally, even at weekends when dh is amazingly helpful with the kids.
The reason is mainly because I'm so so tired. Been to the doctor numerous times and although I have a vascular disease they don't think its related and can't give me anything to help.
Sneakingly I suspect its anti depressants as when I'm not taking them I don't get so tired. But I am susceptible to breakdowns and anxiety disorder so it's better to be on them.
What I'd really like is some ritalin or other 'wake up' drug, but it's not an option.
I go to the gym and walk outside regularly. The gym gives me a boost for that day, the walking tires me out - but I need a nap every day regardless.
How badly are my children going to be affected seeing me in bed so much? They are 8 and 9.
I'm considering boarding school for secondary so they can see how to live normally. I so don't want them to have this life.
