Feeling very tired all the time

I have recently found many new ways to cope with my difficulties, and am feeling a lot happier in myself, trying to express myself more naturally etc.  I feel better than I have ever felt in terms of how I manage my anxiety and self esteem issues.  However, I have been trying to get rid of a cold for weeks (an issue I had last winter when I was emotionally 'drained'). As a result, I am also feeling incredibly tired, to the point where I am struggling to be productive in work and being irritated easily.  As I am sure is common with others, I seem to have a careful balance, that when tipped means that I am easily tired and overloaded.  I am trying to work out what this means for me, and why it is happening again when I feel emotionally stronger.

I don't understand this- surely if I am feeling better emotionally then I should be feeling better mentally and physically too?

Thank you.

  • While I agree with what Codger's said, if you are having real, unexplained tiredness a trip to the doctors might be in order. It could also be the aftermath of of the cold, or it could be something else. I've recently been diagnosed with a vitamin deficiency and started medication for an underactive thyroid: a few months ago I really wasn't coping with life, now I feel a lot better, have a little more energy and am getting things together again.
