I was exhausted yesterday afternoon physically and mentally. I fell asleep from 3PM to 7 or so. Then I tried eating dinner but I couldn’t so I went back to sleep until 11. I took a melatonin and some Tylenol. I fell back asleep around 2:30 and I woke up at 7. I watched a bit of The Today Show and I felt good enough to take a sponge bath and to change into other clothes. I put jeans on and a huge t shirt so I felt more human after getting out of the shorts that I had been wearing for a few days. And I don’t feel quite as gross and dirty. But then by 11 I was once again completely worn out physically and my mom isn’t home and getting around myself is tough. I am starting to worry a bit about my mental health now. I haven’t had caffeine in a few days so I’m wondering if I’m having caffeine withdrawals. So I asked my mom to pick me up a coffee to see if the caffeine will help. I often feel better after coffee. I called my surgeon to see when I could do my telehealth appointment and the receptionist said he’ll call when he gets a chance and she’ll try to give us a time. I wanted to make it to my therapy appointment on Wednesday but I don’t want to be looking like this. So I may either cancel or ask to do a telehealth therapy session.
But basically today I’m just really struggling physically and mentally.
Edit: I was able to take a Tylenol half an hour ago and my mom came home and brought me the iced coffee and then gave me 2 ice packs. So I’m feeling better after all that.
