Wishing things were 'normal' again.. - Journal entry 3

Well, it was an other shity day at work. I got bitched at for using someone else's chair. I mean please, it is just a chair. Whatever!!!

 

Again today I am sooooo tired. I only worked 6 hrs again today. It is going to take FOREVER to get back to my 12 hr shifts. SGI is going to give up on me soon.

 

I don't want to be around people again today, I was soooo happy to get home from work, if I had to deal with one more patient today, I could have screamed. I love my job normally, but the past few months I just don't want to be there or any where for that matter.

 

Two of my kids are gone to work, so it's just the youngest one home. Thank God the kids are old enough where they don't need me ever second of the day. I just don't think that I would be able to deal with that again.

 

Why am I soooo tired? I usually have more energy than this. I hate this, I want it to go away. I am not having fun. It is sad when I can't even be up for more than 3 hrs without being totally exausted at the end.

 

One of the adverse affects of the Effexor is yanwing. How stupid is that. But that is exactly what I have been doing ALL day.

 

But I'm going to go have a nap, before I go to bed for the night. Now, that sounds so stupid.Sad

I can certainly relate to all you're feeling , especially being so tired. I think the combination of thyroid problem and depression is what's draining us of all our energy. I am learning not to push myself too hard when I'm not able to perform all my duties, I'm also learning not to feel guilty when I have to rest more. I am lucky to sleep 4 hrs at night and during the day I have to lay down and rest. My meds are working but the darkness never completly goes away. I always pray tomorrow will be a better day and thank God for helping me to get through today and enjoy every moment I can for life is a gift.

Yes ,being tired really sucks. But this is taking over my life. I am soooo tired that I can and so sleep all day at least until 4 or 5 then i'm back to sleep any tiime between 930 - 1030 sometime a bit later. It all depends on when the meds kick in. There are many nights that I've falling asleep while on the computer.

 

This tiredness is abnormal, I am a nurse so I can't be this tired all the time, it makes concentrated at work very hard, so when I go to the doctor tomorrow, it will be the first thing that I bring up. I find it very hard to get up to go to work, the last to shifts that I was to work I called in sick, cause I did not have the enegry to even get out of bed.

 

I can no longer handle being this tired ALL the time. I can easily sleep for 21 hrs and be up for 3 hrs then back to bed for another 21 hrs.

 

Take care,

Cheryl
