House is a mess again

Same.old shit different day . House is in a state again . Have zero energy. for the past few days my minds been saying let's do this in a positive manor. Then my body says fuck off . I know my iron levels are bad. I have been taking folic acid but it's not making a difference.

My brain feels like it's not braining I can't even explain.

I have eating 6 calipos since 8am instead of just actually eating something.

I have made a start on tidying. Its just extremely slow. I just wish I could have that positive vibe and energy that i feel once i get into it. But im just so tired and drained.

I need to get it done as I have dentist in a few days and I'm having alot done. And im not going to want to do anything for a few days after.

I'm not looking for any actual advice I know what I Need to do. I'm just pissed of with myself.

You definitely need iron supplements if you're low in iron and a decent mg not the silly amount you get in OC multi vits and minerals. What are you results for iron, haemoglobin and ferritin do you know? The eating of ice lollies by the barrow load is very indicative of a deficiency

Another iron deficient person here. I’ve had two naps today. My body just cannot go on and cannot stay awake. I am having to put blinkers on and just do the bare minimum - for me that’s empty bins when they’re full and on bin day and the dishwasher. literally anything else is a bonus

(yes I am on iron, etc from the dr)

I never realised how much it can have an effect on life. I just thought it was normal to feel that way. I hope your not feeling to bad though.

I don't know the actual results. Gp did not tell me. It was just a text message.

Can you go onto your NHS app for the results or ask for a print out? I felt like death for months before I got on top of it

I can't access it on the app as I don't have the ID to set it up . I don't know if reception would tell me if I call them. I can try.

Why not pay for a cleaner for a short while

I don't have the money. And I don't feel comfortable doing that.

I'm taking folic acid

Folic acid and iron are two different things.

Take both.
