Will i ever not be tired?

[boboo18]

Ok... so this sounds stupid BUT i honestly feel like crying i am that exhausted. I am a single parent to a 10 mo DD. DD still wakes up atleast three times in the night and ive tried everything to stop this but its not working. Im suffering from really bad headaches daily and frequent migraines monthly. I am that tired constantly i feel sick. Obviously, i am not the only bloody woman in the world thats a single parent with no help, so, i need to ask how do you all manage not being so tired? If you are, then what helps stop it? I feel slightly crazy atm.

its amazing how we just push through these things but it can be savage.
My DS is nearly 5. Its been me and him most of his life. His been an easy child so I am lucky, but I have never been able to get over the tiredness. Tiredness is an understatement actually. Last year was the worst. It was painful and I was frequently in tears, and several doctors visits. I had zero energy and my whole body was in constant pain. I was so tired I would just cry worried about how I was going to get through the day. I was diagnosed with chronic exhaustion which is still being investigated now.
I've no real words of advice, but I know how you feel xx

it really is isnt it @NGC2017 ! Its nice to know im not alone. I feel like i musnt be coping because everybody else seems to be fine. What have the doctors done for your exhaustion? im debating on taking a trip to the doctors, im pretty sure the tiredness is the main cause of my migraines. thank you for your reply xx

@boboo18 unfortunately there isnt much they have been able to do. Hence why I am still being investigated I think.
I cant even describe how bad it was last year. I felt like I was dying which I know sounds like an exaggeration but it honestly felt like my who body had given up. It was constant pain. I would sleep and wake up feeling fine but within an hour I was totally wiped out. And what made it worse was I had my little boy to look after. I was so desperate to sleep, but so desperate to carry on doing everything expected of me. It wasnt like I could ever go home for a nap....lol! I had to be Mom!
This year has been miles better. I am still extremely tired, but no where near the debilitating levels I was last year. I had three weeks off over christmas which gave me the must needed rest I needed. I returned to work in Jan feeling fab, but 2 weeks later I started feel rubbish again. I wonder if its something I just have to accept, but I am so glad it isnt of the level it was last year xx

@NGC2017 hopefully they manage to find the underlying problem for you. Have you been tested for low iron? probably a stupid question really. i am glad this hear has been better for you. there is nothing worse than extreme exhaustion is there. i feel like i could pass out sometimes! xx
