Who else is devastatingly exhausted today??

Prepared to be told I’m ridiculous for asking, but I’ve been so so ridiculously tired all day today, like I can hardly put one foot in front of the other and like my eyes could close at any second and I could sleep for a week.
The odd thing is, every single person I’ve spoken to has said the same, even family far away.
I’m not woo or seriously suggesting any kind of phenomenon is causing this, but just wondered how many more of us feel the same today?

I’m full
pf beans but I’ve been working hard on my energy levels and I have SAD so the last few sunny days have really lifted me. I do have a weird half headache though…

My husband napped for an hour on the sofa this afternoon if that's any proof!

MummyDummyNow · 26/02/2025 18:38

Yep me! Today and yesterday so incredibly tired.

The exact type of evidence I was looking for! See! It’s a thing! 😂

Combination I think of the weather, current politics and the fact most people are waiting to get paid

Picle · 26/02/2025 18:45

Quite a lot over the last week or so. The miserable weather hasn't been helping but it looks like we might be turning a corner now.

Igotjelly · 26/02/2025 18:46

Yes me! I was just saying to DH I feel totally scunnered!

Alittlegreenwhale · 26/02/2025 18:48

I'm absolutely exhausted, but have had a few really stressful days which have both caused disrupted sleep and significantly increased my adrenaline and cortisol levels so probably not linked to any wider phenomena!

troppibambini6 · 26/02/2025 18:48

Yep me too.... I spent the day clearing out my son's bedroom and at 1.30 I set an alarm for an hour lay on his bed and had a nap. I literally felt I need to just shut down for a hour.

BritishShorthair23 · 26/02/2025 18:48

Yes absolutely exhausted the last few days but when I try to sleep I cant. Dont know if I’m coming down with something though.

SunshineInMySprocket · 26/02/2025 18:49

I’m usually fairly energetic but had to force myself out of the door for some fresh air this afternoon. I did my usual route & been on the sofa ever since.

runaway13 · 26/02/2025 18:51

I fell asleep this afternoon while working from home 😂

birdcake · 26/02/2025 18:53

Me too. It's coming up to a new moon tomorrow OP, and so the old moon is barely visible or not visible at all. In spiritual terms this is a time of rest and renewal, so you might feel out of whack.

Waning Crescent (7 days)
The waning crescent means one thing: early nights. "With the final stretch of this lunar cycle, you will feel exhausted by the past month and want to unwind as the new moon approaches," notes Binding. As you reflect on the cycle, you may feel thoughtful and start to consider what you did well and what you could have done better. "Embrace these feelings, as they will bode you well in the next moon cycle; each cycle is a chance to learn and grow."

The new moon comes tomorrow! So I hope everyone is feeling better then.

Dragonsandcats · 26/02/2025 18:54

me too!

Reframetheguilt · 26/02/2025 18:54

Usually full of energy but for last couple of days both my partner and I have been exhausted. I hear air pressure sometimes has an effect?

MolluscMonday · 26/02/2025 18:55

Tired and low here. And so bloody COLD. Come on Spring!!

Chewbecca · 26/02/2025 18:55

I haven't left the house. Have moved from bed to sofa, that's about it!

Nanny1983 · 26/02/2025 18:55

I’ve literally only been out for an hour today and came home to sleep , I could barely keep my eyes open and felt exhausted .

Hattieandcake · 26/02/2025 18:56

Yep can’t function have had to let Netflix flow this week for the kids 😲

Waisted · 26/02/2025 18:57

Me! But I only slept an hour and a half last night.

NotVeryFunny · 26/02/2025 18:58

Could you all be vitamin d deficient. We are just coming out of winter? Not sure where your "far away" family are and if that might apply to them.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 26/02/2025 18:59

Me!

But my bloods came back as low in iron so I have some Ferrous FUMERATE.

For some reason my phone wants to capitalise FUMERATE and I don’t have the energy to fight it.

FUMERATE. Why? So weird.

Anyway, I’m hoping they might pep me us. I feel like I’m walking through water.

I take vitamin D every day! Good idea. but would be weird for us all to suddenly feel effects today though?

Nickisli1 · 26/02/2025 19:00
