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.

  • Hello!

     Also, you can get chronic fatigue syndrome after a cold/virus. It's just your body recovering from having to work extra hard from battling it. Colds can take a while to recover from even when the actual virus/symptoms bit has gone. And if you've had to work/carry on while you had the cold, it can take longer to recover. Worrying about it too can make you tireder- but easier said than done- i'd worry myself into an early grave. I get chronic fatigue at times in my life and all though i feel mentally/emotionally ok, my body is knackered and it takes a while for it to reajust again. Hope you feel less fatigued soon. And as the other posts have mentioned, maybe have a chat with your dr too. Are they a supportive/understanding dr?
