I feel terrible. Have been depressed since I Had my son 4 years ago. Reduced my medication through the summer and stopped around sept time. All ok.

This weekend I feel terrible want to sleep all day. Shouting over nothing. And familiar fuzzy head feeling.

I just can't go back to the way I was. I have basically slept for 4 years. DP had an affair (didn't help but all ok now) He will leave me. My poor son doesn't deserve this.

Things are going so well. DP and I enjoying each other again. Back to weight watcher. (have ate myself silly for the past 4 year too) Was hoping to TTC in the summer. Just
want to be healthy FFS :-(

Hi - sorr you are feeling so tired and perhaps low. I always remember that the HALT phrase - I halt if I am:
H = Hungry
A = Angry
L = Lonely
T = Thirsty, Tired

if you are so tired and not been eating a healthy balanced diet (I am sure you are tho) then it can make us stop or struggle.

Would it help going to the Gp and telling the Gp how tired you are etc and maybe gettign some basic blood tests to check you are ok (like thyroid etc)? Perhaps discuss your stopping of medication and see if that may be involved?

Thank you for replying. Will see how I go over the next few days. Have to go back to the GP next week. Really hoping it will pass. Have been eating really well this week - for a change but know I need to drink more fluids.

Yesterday was the first day on my own for a long time - maybe just felt odd - although was really looking forward to it.

Thank you
