Exhaustion

I’m not really sure of the reason for this post.

I’ve not been feeling well for a few months. I’ve had bleeding in between my periods and bad stomach cramps as well as pain down stairs. Been back and forth to the doctors but they can’t determine what it is so have put me on the pill.

Since September I’ve been working 3 jobs- my main job in an office for 31 hours a week (although I often do more), social media advertising for around 4 hours a week and in a local shop Saturdays for 6 hours and sometimes in the week for 2-4 hours. I do it because we need the extra money right now. Im also studying which I started in October.

Im physically and mentally exhausted, my house is a mess as I don’t have the energy to tidy, and I feel like I’m constantly weighed down.

I’ve not had any annual leave since Christmas and now I have a new starter joining our small team who will need training, end of year accounts as well as big celebrations im responsible for to celebrate the jubilee.

I feel like telling everyone I have covid just to be able to take a week off and stay at home.

Sorry for the pointless post… my physical pain and the worry of the random bleeding is weighing down on me and on top of just feeling exhausted all of the time I’m finding everything hard right now Sad

Hey!
Sorry to hear that your're feeling like that Flowers
Honestly, if I was you, and felt like you did, I would (and I have previously), go sick for a week. Don't beat yourself up for it. You need to jump off the hamster wheel, and just.... rest. Use that week off to do ....nothing...
Except maybe ponder whether you are a little depressed, and whether a low dose of antidepressants would help?

Wishing you all the best - and put yourself first!
