I work part time about 20-25hrs, I have a dog, a 3 year old. I have a full time working partner who's on 45+ hours a week and I feel shattered 99% of the time. Nothing picks me up! Cutting caffine, water, change of diet haven't shown any change. Doing exercise makes me even more exhausted, my body with just give up on me. I'm a size 12, 5'5 woman, I'm not unhealthy but probably not the most fit person in the world. My diet it's mostly good. I've managed to cut lots of sugar but sometimes the unhealthy carbs are difficult to cut when they're cheapest and everything is crazy expensive at the moment.
I have 1 cup of tea in the morning and that's the only caffine I consume. I have healthy snacks, veg and fruit in every meal and standard portion sizes.
I don't do any extra exercise other than our daily dog walk, which is usually 40 odd minutes. However, if I've had extra stuff to do (food shops, work, appointments etc) this walk will exhaust me and I feel instantly sleepy and ready for bed, and usually don't make it much longer than 15 minutes and just come home.
No amount of rest helps, extra sleep makes me groggy. I have a lot on my plate and being at home alone with the kid and dog makes it impossible to nap.
I sleep well, about 6-8 hours a night and usually sleep through. I'm awake from about 6am until 10pm, which I know are long days, but I literally have no choice!
Absolutely am a morning person I get all house chores done before lunch to get them out the way and then I'm yawning!, and I know the standard 'afternoon slump' is a thing, but being exhausted from about 11am until I go to bed feels a bit more than just afternoon lol.
I don't know where to go next, obviously I need to contact my GP, but I just feel like there's way more important things than just me being a bit too tired!
Anyone else been there and had anything that's helped?
