Hi everyone
If anyone can offer advice, help, or an explanation I would be so very grateful.
I arrive home from work and I'm so completely exhausted that I need a nap. I wake up still feeling totally drained and remain that way until I go to bed. Regardless of how much sleep I have, I will still awake in the morning feeling so unbelievably tired. Feeling that way all day, I get home and need a nap, the cycle continues. I then spend Saturday lethargic, by Sunday evening I'm feeling better, then come Monday it all begins again.
Can anyone help, know what this is about? I honestly don't feel like this is living at all. Does anyone else experience this?
It's hard to tell it could be many things, are you not enjoying your job?
Something personal happening in your life that's burning you out or causing higher than normal anxiety?
maybe something physical like anaemia? or bad diet?
Hi O, thank you for replying. I really love my job, it's pretty much all I think about. Everything else in my life is the same, except my diet which has gone from good to bad and then bad, though when it was good I was still so very tired. I've been like this a long time, I just feel it's either getting worse, or I'm becoming more frustrated with feeling this way.
Might be worth speaking to your doctor if it's been going on for while, if its autistic burnout related maybe you need spread out you daily tasks/activities more. I don't know how busy you are as a person.
maybe improving your diet might be a step in the right direction to help get you thinking clearer so you think of solutions.
Exercise is good too helps with your circulation which in turn helps with energy level doesn't need to be a lot either, some press ups, sit-ups and squats
Thank you Loz. I have an awful feeling it is work. I still need to be healthier and meditation is a great idea. Perhaps I need to look at what changes I can make to my working day. Thank you so much for your help.
