I have NOOOOO energy!!!!!
Lately - I have absolutely NO energy. I'm finding that in the afternoons all I want to do is have a nap - so I'm totally unproductive at work --- I have a pile of stuff to catch up on. I come home feeling overwhelmed. My house is a mess. I try to take time to clean it everyday but I do a couple little things and then i'm tired and i go back to sleep again. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to increase my energy, or how to get things done even if I'm toooo tired to do it? I'm sleepign A LOT - so its not lack of sleep that I'm suffering from. I usually get about 8 hours of sleep in a night. Some afternoons I nap for 2 hours.

i'm always tired too. i used to be anemic, and when i stopped eating meat it got worse. i started eating red meat again and the anemia improved, but then i began to get really heavy periods and i'm starting to always be cold again. so i think i might be anemic again, which makes you tired. that could be your problem. if you're always cold, bruise easily, and feel tired, not really sleepy, but jut tired... you could be anemic too.

thanks i will look into the anemic thing. It IS a possibility as I don't have a very balanced diet and don't really eat a lot of red meat.
I'm not on medication -haven't been for 3 months. I was on antidepressants for awhile but they were messing with my anxiety. So i don't take anything now. |

I was going to say that many SSRIs (anti-anxiety and anti-depression meds) have side effects of sleepiness.
So, yeah, what you are eating could be affecting you. Balance your diet as well as take a multivitamin. Try to get some more exercise also, that may energize you. |

I heard that not having enough water can cause you to be tired. Your body needs it... plus the multivitamin is a good idea too.
