im tired ALLL THE TIME .... i am grumpy and short with dh and the kids ...
i am suffering from my exhaustion and im about to crack it !!
DD takes 1.5 hrs during the day to go down for a nap ... seriously ! i BF her , put her down and she p*sses me off by not goign to sleep , whinging and standing back up , so before i lose it at her i walk away and calm down , then try again to get her to sleep , i end up BF her about 5 times to get her to even get remotely sleepy , as she shows tired signs then hypes up when i take her to bed .
DS is a hyper 3 yr old and is often hitting dd and playing up , as a result i get so angry and annoyed at him all the time .
being tired is ruinign my happiness atm ! i own a businees that needs DH to work ong hours so i dont get a break from 5 am to 7 pm ... as soon as the kids are in bed i curl up on the couch and sleep . until dh moves me into bed
im also waaay too tired to DTD .
i drink 2 L water most days and whilst i dont do any formal excersicse im fit and busy so move around alot ..
BUT DD then wakes 4-6 times a night and DS 1-2 times a night , and i BF dd back to sleep each time , coz im too tired to let her cry it out and stick to a sleep plan ,
im slowly getting worse and more and more unable to cope with the tiredness .
what is a good supplement to take ? i need to improve my energy levels or else i'll lose the plot . i hate being so tired all the time .
oh and recently , i have been having bouts of insomnia , so i can fall asleep easily some nights then wake and not get back to sleep for hours , or i cant seem to fall asleep at all
had to read your post quickly in the middle of dd climbing all over me lol. But I went through this after the birth of dd i'd lost almost a litre of blood and didnt think anything of it at the time. Once she hit about 5-6 months I was bloody exhausted. Turned out I was anemic! I could literally sleep constantly. So maybe get that checked. And if it's not that then it's probs just from being a mum cause they tend to wear us out!!! I was taking um.. a natural vitamin can't remember which one but it made me feel really good and have heaps of energy.
A friend of mine told me to take Centrum Recharge, she takes it and says she's bursting with energy. I started today, I can't say whether I've had more energy or not but I do have fluro yellow wee lol.
Step 1 - see your GP, get them to do a blood test, this will check for things like anemia, thyroid issues, or anything else lurking.
Step 2 - see a naturopath. What you are describing is exactly the same thing I had - the exhausted insomnia is the giveaway. My naturopath diagnosed 'adrenal exhaustion' and put me on some foul tasting herbs (plus a few mineral/vitamin supplements) and I noticed my sleep and energy levels improving after about 10 days.
Step 3 - book the little darlings into child care or family day care for a day a week and have yourself some 'me' time. It is well worth the investment
supplements for energy , im tired ALL the time
