It's getting beyond the joke, being this tired! My diet is fine, I have my 5+ a day and I do not eat sugar. My life really isn't that hectic. My DS goes to bed on time and sleeps all night, he also goes nursery during the week. I work part time and my DH works full time but every single day is becoming one huge battle to try and stay awake. My routine goes like this:
I get up at 6am, feeling like I've not slept a wink despite getting 7-8 hours full nights sleep. I get ready and I have a full nutritious breakfast and a warm drink. I get to work and I have a active job so I am OK to a point but as soon as I am on my break I have to lay my head on the table for about 20 minutes because I am so exhausted.
I get home and by the time my DS goes to bed at 7, I go straight to bed as well and nap until about 10. I quickly put the dinner on while cleaning up and then have my dinner then go straight back to bed again and the same cycle continues. During my days where I am not working, I nap in the morning when my DS naps, so I nap about 11 o'clock and then get up an hour later to take my DS to nursery.
I've tried going for walks every day even going town but I am feeling more tired than I did just being at home. I fight the energy to get off the sofa and play with my son! All I look forward to is going to bed. I feel like a shit mother because I don't play with my DS as I am just too tired. When I force myself to take him out, I just wish to come home again.
I am not depressed but I'm starting to feel it because it's really getting to me. There's no way I should be this tired when we have a structured routine! Somebody mentioned about Under-active Thyroid? I have been tested after my DS was born (he is 1.5 years), but my bloods came back normal? Is it possible it has started now? Does anyone else feel this way?
