I feel constantly exhausted. I have a 3 year old and recently took a sabbatical of 8 weeks. I’m in week two of the sabbatical and I feel even more exhausted than when I was working! I have been sleeping most days, trying to read or watch tv and falling asleep. Had various blood tests which are all normal. Ferritin came back at 52 which I know isn’t massively high but it’s not really low either. I’m taking iron supplements and vitamins.
i struggle to have the energy to cook for myself and so often a day passes and I will not have eaten much until dinner time. I can barely drag myself out of bed to exercise though I can manage a short run if I make myself.
i don’t understand where this issue is coming from. I’m slim and always have been, bmi is normal/lower end.
I can’t explain the feeling it’s just like I want to nap on and off constantly. I am so worried about returning to work as I am starting in a new office with a longer commute. Not sure how I will manage.
For background I did have a traumatic year or so when ds was born until he was around 1. I don’t know if I am still exhausted from that?! I can’t work it out and it’s massively bringing me down. Perhaps it’s normal?
