Hi,
I'm hoping you can reassure me; I feel like such a wimp at the moment. I'm 6+2, fortunate not really to be feeling sick at the moment unless I haven't eaten enough, but I am so tired I'm not really coping.
I had pneumonia just before I conceived and was really struggling with tiredness while recouperating. Now I'm very nearly entirely wiped out. I'm a secondary school English teacher, and there's so much pressure all the time - loads of people are retiring this time because of it. Every day I think "I'm going to have to go home" but I drag myself on to the end of the day. When I get home I can only sleep. DH makes the supper and I eat some and fall asleep. I have worlds of work building up to bite me on the arse.
My department are so nice, but I feel like I'm letting them down. I had 2 weeks off with the pneumonia (had kidney infection too so was awful) and my colleague ran himself ragged trying to keep all the plates spinning.
Please, someone just tell me you're feeling similarly pathetic! I don't even have other children I have to run round after, I can't even look after myself!
Thanks :)
