What's wrong with me?

I've felt so drained all year. Two sons and the youngest seems to catch everything going. I'm so tired I'm falling asleep at my desk in the afternoons. I ache. I'm struggling to concentrate and think clearly, sometimes getting my words muddled. I used to be so good at multitasking and now I'm struggling to remember everything.

I spoke to my GP who has ordered some blood tests next week.

We talked about my physical symptoms but, when they asked about my mood I admitted that I was irritable some days because I'm so tired and my oldest is struggling at school which means he is challenging at home (suspected ADHD). The GP then suggested several times that I'm depressed and that's the issue.

i think your iron levels are low. i can understand the feeling. There is link between being depressed and anaemic. I wouldn't jump on any conclusions just yet . wait for blood tests first.
