Name changed but been here for ages
I've just turned 50 and I feel like I've been existing for a while not living.
I'm a single parent but have been for years and I'm good with that, child is happy doing well touch wood has a great dad .
I have had depression for years been on anti depressants on and off for years , I have a bowl
Problem
And ibs , was anaemic but apparently not now according to recent blood tests but I just feel so tired all the time. I struggle to sleep at night but then feel so tired in the day and I mean drained no energy at all and weak. Dr said It's not bowel related but I just can't seem to get any more energetic and it's getting me down. I feel a failure , I've also started to take longer in between with washing my hair , I've absolutely let myself go , looks , clothing etc. I wok as a dog walker all my energy goes into that as I have bills to pay but I feel like a husk
Not sure why I'm posting just maybe looking for some advice thank you

Could it be related to peri / menopause do you think?

Have you spoken to GP about peri/meno symptoms? Insomnia and fatigue are quite common.

Do you have varicose veins, OP? Weird question, I know.
