I was very ambitious until towards the end of my pregnancy when I was just looking forward to taking some time off work. Had lots of issues with DS sleeping and when he turned one and I went back to work, I was still tired and in a bit of a fog. DS sleep improved bit by bit, and now that he's two he fusses less, I'm getting rest for most of the night, though rarely all of it.
But my ambition for work hasn't returned! I've been offered a promotion but I feel like I am just going through the motions even though my company is in a really exciting phase. I'm still feeling tired and listless, and struggle to keep focus in conversations. I haven't suffered any post natal mental health issues and I don't think I'm depressed in any way.
I thought I would have bounced back by now. Is this normal? Could it be health related? Can you recommend any remedies and maybe I need iron supplements or something.
I just feel guilty about not wanting to make the most of the opportunities I have - everyone else is and is surging ahead and I'm at risk of being left behind. I do enjoy being at work but most of the time I just want to do enough to get through the day and go home.
