Its been getting worse for the past few months. I thought it was just tiredness caused by a vitamin deficiency. Me in a nutshell:
- constantly exhausted even though 18mo DS sleeps really well these days
- unmotivated, can't find the will to do things I enjoy (like read) or leave the house, I only drag myself out for DS
- feel tearful and on the verge of overwhelmed most of the time
- I can't concentrate or hold a conversation with people, I just find myself apologising for being tired and out of it the whole time :(
- spend pretty much every hour wishing I was asleep
- also very anxious/stressy/snappy
Has anyone been like this and had it be causes by iron/vit b deficiency or something? I have a doctors appointment on the 19th and I don't know how to cope until then. Its my aunts funeral next week and I don't know how I'll manage when the above is my baseline.
I've had 'mild' depression before, found citalopram did nothing to help, felt not listened to by doctors and just coped by myself. It got better a few years ago. I don't want this to be depression again, I spent years being fobbed off and not listened to and struggling by myself, I can't do it again :(
