Tired as all get out
 

Seriously, I don't think a person could be any more tired than this.
I really really want some sleep.

I don't know how to get it.
I don't like to go to bed.

It's weird.
I need a few days of sleep.

Today I was so tired I turned my lights on in the car for some dumb reason.
Then when I left work around 8:00 pm at night, the car would not start because of the battery. I asked someone from the cleaning crew to help me jump start the car and he was gracious about it.

I felt low.
I still feel not right.

Maybe your doctor will let you try the medicine my NP recently prescribed. When you fall asleep,you sleep. BF

Do you think you are also emotionally exhausted from your parents' visit? Is there anything you can do to pamper yourself? I can relate to the feelings of exhaustion.
Bobby

well it is understandable that you feel exhaussted
with everything that has been going on.
Hope you can nap or get some solid sleep today.

I can't believe I let this happen
 

Yes,
My parent's visit drained me.
I had to get up early and was not able to use the weekend to sleep to prepare for the work week.

Today the symptoms of CFS have come back: I am depressed and under huge brain fog. I took a nap and woke up feeling worse.


I don't know what to do.
All I kind do is be patient with myself.

I’m so sorry your parents visit was so stressful on you Mari. I sure hope you can get some good quality rest soon. :hug:

Thank you, BJ.

next year....Maybe you could ask them to come during the summer, like beginning of june, no school and no hurricanes looming.
I am sorry that your symptoms have come about...what has worked for you in the past?
rest and more rest.....how is your nutritional status?
bizi:grouphug:

I'm ok on nutrition.
I took a little break from the vegan stuff and had a hamburger one day and a piece of chicken one day.

I am taking lots of B12.

I took some time off from Weight Watchers becuase I was feeling too much pressure. I went back to a meeting tonight and am down .8 lbs anyway. (!)



In the past, what has worked is doing an easy easy easy Yoga video and staying inside and sleeping off and on whenever I feel like it.

I slept today. But I have a feeling that is hard to explain -- heavy hang over, brain fog, depression, . .


I have to try hard to think only pleasant thoughts, surround myself with good images and feelings,

Mari

cute little guy for you
 

ok my favorite!
 

So cute.
You are great, Bizi. :)

Oh I love that last picture. And the saying it fits so perfectly.

I have to say, I can use those words daily anymore.

sleep
 

I took .5 klonopin 35 minutes ago and it seems to be working. Maybe I'll go to sleep soon.

I really really really want to sleep.

Trying to hold it together
 

Felt bad all day. Brain fog and fatigue even after sleep and then a nap.
Went to gym. Physically I feel better but mentally worse.
Depressed.

Anxious about the work week.
Need to do laundry and go to bed soon.

Mari,

I'm wired tonight and sure could use some sleep myself. Maybe if I cut off the stereo and did some deep breathing exercises I'd be better off. I somehow don't want to though. Sometimes though when I feel like you do I'll lay down and say to myself, this is only to relax and not to sleep and I will end up sleeping anyway. Just laying in the bed relaxing will feel so good and there's no pressure on me to go to sleep because I really believe I'm going to get back up. I don't get back up out of bed though because it feels so good to lay there and then I fall asleep. I think I'll try that now.

I think it is normal to feel down after being on alert with the hurricanes,,,,more to come,,,,and with your parents visit and the start of school etc.
I am sorry that you are depressed..
I hope you are getting/asking for extra hugs from your sweetie.:o

I can totally relate to the being on alert with the hurricanes.

I am not in a hurricane area. But tornadoes come a lot. And we
are getting lots of rain. Had a big branch fall, not close to our
house. But all I could see that night was the rest of the tree
falling and hitting our house.

I was so afraid, I think I was up all night. And of course it rained
and stormed for a few nights, and its doing it today too.

So its not helping. So I totally see the picture. So I hope things
have calmed and you are sleeping
