In a bit of a funk here... I'm not sure exactly what is going on. At first, I thought it was the fact that I had run out of iron pills. I suppose it could still be that, I've only been taking them for a week. But, I've been extremely exhausted. I can't tell if I'm getting depressed or if it's the sun setting earlier or what. I spend all day in bed unless I have some place I HAVE to be (like work). I canceled lunch with a friend today because I wasn't feeling well (little bit of a sore throat) plus I was so tired. I simply can't get myself out of bed. I've decided to set up the coffee pot the night before and have my boyfriend turn it on in the morning to try to coax me out of bed, but I'm still nervous. I just decided to take a second job and once my schedule settles down, I'd like to try to volunteer once a week. On days when I get out of bed, I usually do a little better, though I'm still pretty tired and upset with myself over not being more productive.

I just don't know what to do. I guess I just need to get motivated to get out of bed; any ideas? The two jobs and the volunteering are my attempts to get motivated, but on days when I don't have work, I simply have no motivation to get out of bed and I'm extremely worried about getting into a cycle where I sleep through work too. I guess I really just want to head off the depression that I'm worried is just around the corner.

Any advice or support so I don't feel so ridiculous would be great. Thanks!
