Things at last seem to be on the right track as far as the hospital goes.
Nothing major is happening at work (beyond the everyday rudeness and confrontation of many of the pupils I teach.) Both my daughters are happy and doing well at school My husband has been asked to apply for a job, which would get him out of his current unhappy job situation. So why do I feel so down and so so exhausted? I'm going to bed really early every night (about 9.30) and sleeping (with the aid of sleeping tablets admittedly). The only real clouds are the fact that I had my last session with my counsellor on Monday - at least until we know what the hospital is going to do - and I have just over 2 weeks till my appointment with the psychologist. But I feel so physically and mentally tired, and I am sure that is what is making me feel low again. |

Sometimes with me when things are go go go and going so fast I don't notice when I am tired but then when I get time to just be I realize how exhausted I am and sometimes it feels worse then the times I do notice when I am tired right in the thick of the go go go phase. maybe this is happening to you. take time to rest and then when things are a go again maybe try to check in with yourself throughout you day with how you are. I do it by keeping track of how my foot feels. (this is also one of Nancy J Napier's walking meditations - relaxing while being consciously aware.). It helps me alot by keeping me aware of what is physically happening so I don't push myself past my limitations and get so physically and mentally tired. Take care.

I agree with myself (oops, that sounds arrogant
 ) fatigue can sneak up on us even when life appears smoother than normal imo... going to bed at that hour is not unusual for professional ppl, btw... and for us who need more time to rest, it's a good time imo (I like it best when I'm asleep by 10 pm personally.) Pacing is something I had to learn...and still struggle with from time to time... not overdoing yet doing all I can to stay distracted

The tiredness is still with me. I'm trying to give myself plenty of rest and just keep on going. Two weeks today till the psychology appointment. |
