I have never had the energy that I feel like I need to or that others have. I think I used to have the energy but the past few years and even looking back, sometimes in high school, I was and am just always tired with little energy.
Lately, I feel like no matter how much sleep I get or the amount of caffeine I drink, I still end up feeling tired. And it’s hard. Like truly feeling like I need a nap almost every day and not having the energy to do the house work or get the To Do list done is not easy.
The house work seems like it never gets done, and maybe this is one reason why. One reason why it seems a little overwhelming and takes me forever to get to it.
Some days I feel like a zombie and this afternoon is one of them. I’m functioning but totally not at the same time. I feel like I could sleep for hours and still be tired afterwards.
Fatigue. My old friend. My nemesis.
I would love for you to go away but for right now, that is just a hope and not much of a reality yet.
