Feeling very tired all the time

belles12345

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.

  • Good point, thank you. I have a niece on medication for an underactive thyroid. Not common, but possible, and particularly relevant to me as it was one of the multitude of avenues that was explored with me in the past, so you'd have thought it would occur to me.

    Guess I'd kind of assumed that because it's common, and Belles had talked about being 'out of balance' it was the usual issue and that she'd ruled out physical causes.

    A good, timely reminder not to make assumptions!
