Hi,
my family’s been getting in my case because I apparently spend too long sitting on my bed, sleeping over 10 hours, resting in my hammock, staying still. To be fair, after a 6 hour shift, I’m so wiped I can hardly lift my head, let alone clean the house or talk to them. I frequently take rests on walks to sit in the curb and recoup my energy, despite being in good enough shape to run a half marathon. It’s always been like this—I’m perfectly physically fit, but staying on my feet for longer than 30 minutes drains my energy for hours. As a kid, I would have much rather sat around in the library than gone outside.
This has only gotten more prevalent since lowering my stimulant dosage—when I’m completely unmedicated, I can’t move faster than a trot if my life depended on it. I’m moving through soup. My reaction timing is so slow I’d never let myself drive off meds.
I am on several medications for depression, so I truly don’t think it’s that. is this chronic fatigue? Should I be concerned? Is this normal? (My thyroid is perfectly fine).
