Hi everyone
Just wondering what ( if anything) people have found actually helps with increasing energy in your mid 40s? I’m really struggling with the constant fatigue/exhaustion and trying to find something that might help. Mainly because I’d really like to be able to have some sort of social life and have energy for my kids.
I’m mid 40s, single parent to two primary age, one of who with SEN ( who is challenging) and work pretty much full time but around the kids school. Don’t have any family support so day to day life is pretty draining. Ended up having to have a few months off work recently basically with burn out but also had some medical issues that needed investigating ( luckily all good) and some wider family difficulties ( close relative with cancer).
The exhaustion really started just before COViD though after I’d had really severe and recurring tonsillitis for several months. I mean I was tired before but not like this. I have suffered from PNd and depression but I’m truly on a good place mentally now. And work is also good and amazingly supportive.
I don’t drink now due to a genetic medical issue, have really tried to eat healthily the last few months and defo don’t have low iron or vit D. Do drink too much coffee. Don’t exercise enough as difficult to fit it in and honestly feel too exhausted most days ( also have a long standing back issue due to an accident in my mid teens). Thinking of trying to start HIT workouts at home maybe ( kind of stuck in the house because of the kids).
Other than somehow trying to change my life 
does anyone have anything to suggest that has worked for them? I’m intending to try GP again but hard to get them to understand how debilitating the exhaustion is.
