I am not working this week. finally have some holiday time, though I am not actually going away to anywhere.
I feel so exhausted though. I have been working a lot lately and I was looking forward to some time off to rest. It's not for lack of sleep at the moment, the last few nights I have actually slept quite well.
I have no energy, I feel dizzy. I got disorientated in the supermarket earlier, just for about 30 seconds I couldn't work out where in the supermarket I was suddenly. I was with my 2 boys and I just walked down the aisle until I could get my bearings.
I remember something that a mental health nurse said to me a couple of years ago...the less you do, the less you feel like doing.
It seems it's true. The last 2 days I have barely done a thing just resting coz that's what I thought I needed and my symptoms feel worse. Maybe it's because I have the time to concentrate on them. When I'm at work I am tired but I keep going, now I have stopped I barely have the energy to move myself off the sofa.
It's a double edged thing I think...I am exhausted from work and needed some time off to rest, now I am resting I feel exhausted anyway doing nothing. It seems I can't win.

That's worth something.
