I am so tired all the time.
I find myself sleeping in even though I have a responsibility to get up.
Even though I sleep in (til 10am or so) I am dead tired by 5pm.
I am falling asleep at 5pm even though I have a responsibility to be awake.
I used to be up at 7am everyday no problem and in bed by 10:30pm.
My routine was fine.
Now I am always tired.
I don't want to do anything.
I don't want to grocery shop even though I have no food.
I am SO irritated all the time.
I cry about everything.
I take everything personally.
I feel so guilty for lashing out all the time.
Why am I so angry?

Maybe try getting back into a schedule, and exercise?... You might be low on iron so try and get some vitamins.

If you are still always tired,sea doctor, but you probably are getting to much sleep, which can make u fatigue

I can't exercise. Diastasis recti abdominus (separated abdominal wall), 2umbilical hernias, degenerative disc disease (osteoarthritis) in my L5&S1 with horrific sciatica and a shoulder with a torn labrum (less than 1/4 attached) that needs a surgical repair with bone anchors. IDK how I went from a normal sleep pattern to suddenly getting too much sleep. Why did this happen???

The symptoms you describe after the sleep problem sounds like depression, I would put in a call to your dr to discuss it.

Yeah this sounds like you are slipping back into depression. Now more than ever it is important to get out of bed when you should and stay in your good routine. Its hard, but it will make a difference. Is there absolutely no exercise you can do? What kind of activities do you do during the day to lift your mood?

I homeschool 3 kids. I don't really have time to lift my mood. I did leave my pdoc a voicemail. I'm going to try taking my Klonopin again to see if it'll knock the edge off, I'm just so irritable and short fused. It's like I get over stimulated very easily all of a sudden. But the Klonopin makes me so sleepy. I did wake up with my youngest child today! But I was so irritable tonight that I didn't even care about my kids decorating the Christmas tree That is so out of character for me. Then later after they went to bed I sat and cried for an hour just looking at it. I took pictures while they decorated it, but my heart and head weren't in it. I hated myself for that so much. I feel like a mean stranger to myself.

I was the same way for a long time until I had blood tests and found out I have defidiencies in several vitamins,and nutrients so now I'm on super doses of vits and supps I'm feeling heaps better. I still sleep way too much and watch too much TV. Have you tried any supps like guarana or ginseng?

Depression. . Please see your pdoc ASAP. Try to stay positive. I know how damn hard it is, but I have a tendency to make myself even more depressed when I dwell on it. Try taking vitamin supplements if you are not already. Fish oil really helps with moods too.
