exhaustion

#ChronicFatigue #Fatigue #fibromyalgiafatigue #exhaustion

So on a personal note we flew high accomplished many things sent love out in many directions only to land on the couch and that’s IT. #crash #Drained #nap

What IT all means is while we feel like we are getting better trying to do the things we use to do or remembering things that we could have done before diagnosis. We find ourselves in the cycle of #Updays #Downdays .

This is incredibly frustrating and irritating to say the least. How does one do all the things one is supposed to do when they don’t have enough #Energy and suffer from #ChronicIlless ?

Like seriously we have to be able to get through a week or two without being completely #overwhelmed .

Ok like we have taken on some extra #Stress #Work #MentalHealth and sure some #Caregiving . But common like surly we can still get things done. #DoEverything right?…

Wrong !!!

This is the reminder that we are in this situation because you didn’t look after yourself #rest #Health #Breakes #timeOff #timeout .

That’s right super hero you’re going to have to passé a bit better. Not everyday! Not every hour! Not every minute!

So we are sorry! Please take time to say you are sorry for not looking after You!

See while you would love to help and save the world… You forgot!

You have to save you!

IT is true and the year is ✨2022 IT is true.

Please 🙏 be kind to you.

Please 🙏 look after you.

Please 🙏 take time for you.

There is only one ☝️ you.

Someone out there needs this so this is for U

I’d love to hear from others.
I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction on the first of the month
I still have JP drains
I still have a ton of pain
I still have no appetite
My intestines are still sore and bleeding
I’m still so so weak
Is this normal? What should I do

I know that a lot of us feel unwell most of the time. That probably wasn't a very well phrased title. But what I mean is... Do you get easily upset when you have a cold/flu/infection?

As an example, back in May I picked up a very nasty stomach bug (that my baby nephew ever-so-lovingly decided to share)... And for the entire day, I just kept breaking down into tears. For pretty much no reason. I don't know if it was frustration or if I'd just had enough... But I've noticed it happens every time I'm unwell.

I've had a cold for about a week now (several COVID tests have come back negative, despite me being certain this isn't an ordinary cold), and I just keep breaking down at the drop of a hat. My sister brought me a slice of my favourite cake from my favourite bakery and I burst into tears. The level of emotion is crazy. I don't like crying even when I'm feeling okay, so when I suddenly start sobbing, I get angry at myself and then usually end up crying more... I keep wondering if it's simply exhaustion? I'm immuno-compromised, so what other people would call a mild illness, is usually something that knocks me off my feet.

I'd just like to know if there's anyone else out there that's like this? And if you know of a way I could maybe minimise the tears? I feel so silly.

I cannot seem to come out of this depressive state. I’m at a loss as to what to do. I’m exhausted all the time and am having bad thoughts. I’m on edge all of the time and I hate myself for not being a better mother to my son. I can’t seem to do anything right anymore. Work is beyond stressful, my health issues have been so bad, and I’m fighting doctor’s avoidances . I’m just done. I’m in a bad place and I don’t know how to climb out. #Depression #exhaustion #badheadspace #imdone

I’m so over Fibromyalgia making me so tired..

Anyone find that they just get no enjoyment out of the things they used to do?

I used to love spending an hour In the bath, bath bombs, candles and music I struggle to stay in for 10 minutes and then can't manage jt any longer

Anyone else found this or any tips how to get past this

For the last few weeks or so I haven’t been feeling right. I’m constantly exhausted - not tired, I mean fully exhausted. Even blinking feels like it’s taking too much energy. I’ve had several migraines and stress headaches. I’ve been feeling sick a lot, and I’ve had frequent fevers. I did both a Lateral Flow test AND a PCR test for COVID and both were negative.

I just feel incredibly run down. I’m barely able to sit up without feeling dizzy and/or fainting. So I’ve been lying in bed a lot, working on my writing skills or binge-watching TV shows. And I feel so guilty for it… My mum keeps seeing me struggle around the house and tells me to go to bed. So I have been. But I feel like I’m being so lazy and I hate it. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to not feel so bad about taking care of myself? I’d appreciate any tips and whatnot…
