Absolutely Exhausted

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?

    Pikl, how are you doing with what you mentioned in your post?

    So today is Tuesday and if spoons really existed I feel I've used up them all up for the rest of the week. I didn't sleep well last night but can quite often manage ok. It hasn't been a particularly busy day at work but have really felt it today. Ive struggled with colleagues talking to me. I didnt miss this in lockdown wfh. Funnily enough, a colleague I "came out" to last week struck up a conversation when I was photocopying. I struggled to do either task - converse and photocopy. This is another example of, it doesn't matter who I tell, most people do. not. understand. 

    I got home at half 4. I sat in the garden for over an hour reading stuff on my tablet then I just about managed to make tea. I haven't done anything since I got home. I can't concentrate because I'm so tired. I made sure I didn't have a nap but will go on a walk in a bit instead.

    I feel this is no way to live. I used to think this is normal but I now know it isn't.
