Lately i have noticed that i wake up feeling totally drained, no energy. I just want to stay in bed. I get up and do what i need to do and just ignore everything non essential for the day. If i could curl up and nap i would but my daughter doesn't want to nap anymore. I get this way at least once or twice a month but lately it seems more often. If i eat some candy i perk up a bit but not enough to accomplish anything. My mother thinks it could be menopause b/c her family has a history of going through it early. I don't think i am b/c most of them were through it by 35 and i was still having kids then. My monthly cycles are normal but i have been having hot flashes but i paired that with my high blood pressure which usually goes up after dinner or when i'm stressed out by the kids more than usual. My husband says i'm crankier during my periods and i started to notice it too. Ireally don't think it'e depression. Sometimes i go on eating binges but that coincides with my ovulation. I have been keeping track b/c we've been thinking about one last little one.Also for awhile after my husband was diagnosed with diabetes i got sick too. We got rid of everything with sugar and carbs b/c he has no will power and then my sugar level dropped and i was sleepy then and hd no energy and even got dizzy which were the same symptoms he had. He checked my blood and it was low so i went to the doctor and he said it wasn't consitently low and if i drank some juice or soda once in awhile i would be fine.Any ideas? I hate going to the doctor and have him look at me like i'm crazy b/c i'm tired.
Maybe you have anemia? I had it when I was pregnant and had zero energy. All I wanted to do was sit on the couch all day. I started taking an iron supplemnt and almost immediately felt better! You should go to the doctor and have a blood work up done. That should let you know what is causing your symptoms!
Good luck!
I totally agree 110% bcause it could be something serious or something minor, regardless you should have a complete bloodwork on you to make sure.
Good Luck
J. S, MAYBE YOU ARE DEPRESSED. TALK TO YOU HUSBAND IS IT POSSIBLE FOE YA'LL TO MOVE BACK TO CHICAGO. I RECENTLY RELOCATED,AND WENT THRU THE SAME THING, AND I ONLY MOVED FROM A LITTLE TOWN WHERE I KNOW EVERYONE TO A BIG CITY WHERE I KNOW NO-ONE. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE LEAVING MY HOME STATE. I DO GO BACK HOME EVERY MONTH ITS A 30 MIN. DRIVE NOT FAR BUT I'VE NEVER LIVED ANYWHERE ELSE. IT STARTED WITH MY BLOODPRESSURE GOING UP, MY HUSBAND WAS LUCKY IF I GOT OUT OF BED AT ALL. NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT THISMOVE IS ONLY TEMP. AND WE ARE MOVING BACK AFTER THE NEW YEAR THINGS ARE MUCH BETTER. YOU BE SURPRISED HOW LEAVING HOME PLAYS ON YOUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. GOOD LUCK YOU MAY NEED TO TALK TO A DOCTOR ABOUT DEPRESSION, MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE DEPRESSED DON'T KNOW IT.
I read your post and it sounds as if I had written it for myself! I have had my blood drawn on several locations and they tell me I could possibly be "borderline" hypoglycemic! It is opposite of diabetes... but if it does not get in check and aided through diet/lifestyle changes, then it could turn into diabetes. I would do a google search on eating for a hypoglycemic diet. I put grapes or crackers next to my bed at night so that I can have something in the morning, otherwise I literally cannot get out of bed. Even still, eating makes me sick, and I am lazy about forcing myself to eat when I need to, but you just have to stick with it. Then I too can binge b/c I practically starve myself all day. Carbs are wonderul but never eat carbs alone for starters... it will help you out, but then your body will crash twice as hard. Eat it with a protein, like cheese and crakers or peanut butter on bread. Baked potatoes with some cheese and crumbled bacon is an excellent and easy boost. That's just a start. Also, eat a couple of (healthy) snacks about every 2 hours. It will keep your body going. If you need some motivation or need anything else, just p.m. me, I need motivation sometimes too!
Just going by your "about me" statement alone, I'm going to suggest depression. Although not only am I not a doctor, I am a Texan so I wouldn't put much stock in it!
No seriously, it sounds like you are miserable. Life is truly what you make of it and if you're still that upset with where you live you may have just given up on the natural desire to thrive... wherever you are! You have an obvious resolve that the place where you are living is associated with bad things. I wouldn't want to get out of bed either!
I recently took a class that was recommended by one of my professors. The class was actually about "toxic people" (which I am in no way suggesting that you are) but more the cause of the attitude behind toxic people. You could be depressed because you are not happy. It would have to come from within you to want to change your happiness. I'm sure this isn't coming out quite like I'd hope for, but what I'm trying to say is you need to create positive experiences for yourself. Sometimes we can train ourselves to associate bad with a certain noun.[person PLACE or thing] We use it to train our kids (example: drugs) and we do it to ourselves daily (example: sugar).
Besides...it's windy and cold in Chicago. Sorry more Texas sarcasm.
