To not cope at all with tiredness

So you have 3 under 3? That’s full on! No wonder you’re tired!

it sounds like your lifestyle is healthy so I’d be trying supplements to see if anyone helps. And tests as pp suggest. However, if you have always been like this, it may not change.

Thyroid. B12 deficiency or iron deficiency all have this.

Even if you were at peak physical health that combination (3 tiny children and a job) would be a lot!

But I think your constant struggle with tiredness does need more investigation. If you can, it might be worth going private if you can't get an NHS GP to listen

I spent my whole life struggling with tiredness and weakness. Being the butt of jokes or frustrations. I found out only a couple of years ago that actually I have a genetic condition that explains all my struggles

I had been to GPs on countless occasions but had always been told there was nothing wrong because my "blood tests were normal". Well yes, of course they were normal, they weren't testing for my condition!

(My condition is rare, congenital Myasthenic syndrome, but there is also the somewhat less rare Myasthenia Gravis, and there are of course many other conditions that can cause fatigue)

I was exactly like this at this stage, I had a busy life and used to sometimes lie down on my office floor with a blanket over me (having locked the door!) or even fall asleep and dribble on my desk. Broken nights are a killer and with a three year old and two twins, you must be exhausted.

I agree with everyone to get obvious blood tests done, like anaemia and thyroid, just in case, but also be aware the limits in the UK are very generous and may not pick up sub-optimal results, so some googling and possible supplementation if it seems sensible is a good way to go.

Your body will be still recovering from having twins, and you don't bounce back the same for a good few years IMO, so I'm sympathetic.

Of course it's not great to meltdown, but it can feel overwhelming at times and your husband blaming you isn't helping further- it is normal for women/men to find child-rearing very tiring, even though you sleep ok, you are on duty all that time and working and running the house, and it just is tiring and it's not a competition.

I don't have great advice beyond saying I think this is normal!

Holy mother of fuck!!! The kids you've got. No wonder you're tired.

I've got one 2 and a half year old and only work two days a week and I'm permanently ruined. I've always liked a loooooooooooot of sleep. I've pulled over to sleep in my car before too while toddler napped in his car seat.

Do everything you can to sleep sleep sleep and when you're not sleeping, rest. If you can manage it hire a cleaner. Dinners can fuck off. Slow cooker and freezer meals. Bed early.

Look after yourself ❤️

Worth getting b12 blood tests as well as if you have pernicious anemia (as I have) you can’t absorb it so pills won’t work - I have 12 weekly jabs (NHS protocol could probably do with them more often).

B12.
Don't bother with the NHS guidelines ..
See a specialist.
I was the same ... l now SI b12 once a week..( get from Germany ( 30 ampoules for £30). Look on FB b12 sites.
Changed my life.

The NHS thyroid test is rubbish try a private one.

Also you could consider seeing a functional doctor regarding energy, they’ll look at hormone testing, advise on best diet etc, rule out food intolerances. All of these contribute to tiredness, excessive sleep needs.

OP you have a lot going on, it would test Mary Poppins.

I appreciate you have always been like this, but have you ever discussed with a GP or had your bloods checked?
