I've been excessively tired for the past few months. If I have a busy day, the next day I'm totally wiped out. I work from home and can barely focus on it most days so that's suffering. I have basically zero sex drive - I can look at DH sometimes (or Kit Harrington...) and go "oooh, nice" but there's no motivation to do anything beyond that. I want to be able to focus on a book, I can't most days. I want to be able to do some yoga, I can't most days. I've dramatically improved my diet and started taking vitamins, which has made a marginal difference but not enough.
I had bloods taken last week which came back as normal, except for low vitamin D. When I had my initial GP appointment she said they'd test for everything physical via bloods, and if they were ok then we'd see if it was depression. I don't feel depressed, I feel frustrated and miserable that I'm so fucking tired. My work is suffering, my parenting is suffering (less patience) and my relationship is suffering - DH is lovely and patient but I want the energy and motivation for sex again!
I feel like because my bloods are normal I'm going to be given a choice of antidepressants or nothing. I'm not depressed. I'm frustrated and want some bloody energy to enjoy my life!
Does anyone have experience of this? Any ideas how I can avoid being fobbed off with ADs? I really thought the bloods would show something that could be easily fixed and now I feel like I'll be stuck like this forever :( any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance for getting through reading my mini-essay
