Cannot get up in the morning anymore, burnt out?

Hi,

I feel extremely pathetic and lazy writing this. I usually get up at 5am every day. Take kids to school and go to work. I work in health care (clinical)

This past couple of weeks I cannot get out of bed on a morning. My alarm is not waking me. I feel exhausted, even after going to bed at 8pm!

I have not been going to work this week, after getting the kids up and to school I feel like I could collapse from exhaustion. I don't know what is wrong with me or if it is mental or biological. I feel really stupid. Every task feels so much. My mother rang me yesterday and I could not be on the phone with her it was making me feel exhausted just talking to her. I feel awful saying that as we are very close.

Could this be burn out?

Im 34 this year. My joints ache, constant headaches and just overall exhaustion and heart palpitations. I feel a wreck to be honest.

I felt similarly. I discovered I was low on b vitamins and had high blood pressure. Blood pressure meds sorted most of it. B vitamins the tiredness (if I feel exhaustion, I take very high b vitamins again)

Have you had your iron level checked? Could be symptoms of low iron.

Go to GP and ask for blood test to check thyroid. I felt like this, put it down to life for months and months and turned out it was my thyroid
