I babysat my niece yesterday (4 hours of driving and then 6 hours with a 2 1/2 year old who I love dearly but she is very busy). I worried all day and half the night about medical bills and I was so tired today I never really got up. I did do a load of laundry and cleaned up the cat's litter area. That's it. I've watched almost a whole season of The Office.
I am just tired and anxious and I needed this rest. But it scares me because it is depressed behavior but I absolutely do not feel depressed. This just adds to the anxiety. I can't wait for therapy Monday.

Anxiety is exhausting. Take care of yourself

If I spent 6 hours with a busy 2.5 year old I would need to rest the next day for sure! You might just have been tired, you know. Take a deep breath and see how things go for you.

Anxiety and lack of sleep definitely take their toll.
I hope therapy goes well for you and you feel a bit alleviated. |

I did that a couple of weeks ago. I just didn't feel motivated to do anything so I laid on the couch while my son played for essentially the whole weekend. I did basic stuff like go grocery shopping and stuff but I didn't clean or do laundry or anything. I got nervous too because that's depressed behavior for me as well but by Monday I felt better and got some cleaning done. Try not to work yourself up too much about a possible depression. Sometimes we just need some shut down time. I hope your anxiety subsides soon!

Two year olds will surely wear you out! I've been there once, and will have to deal with again in another two years. So I definitely understand your exhaustion with that! And all of that driving?! I can definitely see how that would exacerbate your anxiety. I hope you're able to find some relief and feel better soon. Just rest and take it slow until your next appointment. Please take care.

I'm still exhausted today. I'm going to put off my weekly blood draw until tomorrow because I just am too tired to shower, get dressed, go to the hospital, wait and get it done. I hope I can make myself do it this evening but I'm exhausted and my pdoc will get the results tomorrow regardless of when I get it drawn. I usually do it on Fridays though (she still gets it Monday).
I think I just wore myself out which made the clozaril tired worse. I've done that a few other times and have landed in bed or on the couch a few days then too. I'm still just amazed how tired I can be.

I never used to have s TV in my room as an adult because of my tendency to stay in bed, even when stable. I put the TV in my room and thought it was a good idea after a 6 month long depression and physical pain kept me in bed. Problem is, I can't watch TV while depressed, so I tend to use the TV more when I'm stable but in pain. I really need to try and stay out of bed when stable and build my endurance against pain. Sometimes I fail.
I think you deserved a day of rest after chasing the little one. But I also know what it's like to try and stay out of bed. Best of luck in the future. |

Agreed with the others. Try not to worry about it too much. With the whole driving and toddler thing, it's understandable.
I'm having one today, if it's any consolation. Been awake something like 7 hours now. Getting hungry!
