Low ferritin but high iron. Help!

Okay so I've been feeling rubbish for a long time.
I was prescribed iron tablets early in the year for low ferritin of 11. Serum iron was in the normal range then.
I've since had my ferritin levels checked a couple of times and for the last 5 months they haven't budged from 14.
And now my serum iron is high at 34.
Why would this happen? I want to boost my ferritin but I'm scared of continuing the tablets if my iron is high now.

And now being a worrier I'm scared about high serum iron causing organ damage.
But I just want to feel better!
