You know those fancy Duracell batteries? The ones that keep the bunny going forever? And then there's the ones from the pound shop? And then when you look on ebay you can get a pack of ten for only 50 pence? I feel like I'm running on ebay batteries...

Are you getting regular fresh air and vigorous exercise?

Also drink lots of water.

Is your sleep “good quality”? (Uninterrupted? Minimum 6 hours?

Regular alcohol consumption can also really badly affect sleep. I gave up drinking over 3 years ago and I started sleeping netter immediately!

Not as far as I know. I think that it's more of an emotional and mental exhaustion. Like when you've been on an adrenaline high or a sugar rush, and you come down the other side, and everything feels crap? But without having had the high, and it's been going on for months if not years.

Have you got any post 21st June plans? Something you were putting off for a while? You might need to force yourself to do things at first but then it will all come back in balance. Slowly and gently. I'd also do blood tests just to rule out anything. X

couple, us we him her.

Are you or do you suffer from depression?

Lots of people are suffering from the post lockdown hangover.

We have all been on tender hooks the past year, everyone seems to be relaxing and letting go a bit more now, maybe it's all caught up with you and you just need some time to recharge?

Yep.

A mixture of depression and anxiety.

But thanks to blood tests, I found out I also have a folate deficiency (verging on anemia).

Get yourself to the Doctor's.

Get the full bloods done too: then ask if you in your prime or edging towards a condition further down the road.

Have blood tests done.

Get your B12 folate and Vit D levels checked.

Get a print out of the results.

Don't let the docs fob you off if they say that they're normal as their within range, that doesn't mean their optimal.

Thanks for the kind words everybody. I had a full bloods panel not so long ago, the results show nearly everything at mid range, and nothing out of limits. I do need to keep an eye on my sugar intake, my dad developed type 2 diabetes, but the blood sugar results were okay.

I do suffer from some depression and anxiety, started when my mum died several years ago and there was a family fall out with my siblings. That's not ever going to be mended now (my brother's treatment of my dad cannot ever be forgiven) but it doesn't bother me so much now. I've been on sertraline for about 2 and 1/2 years now, which mainly keeps me balanced and (for me) doesn't have too bad side effects. Some loss of libido, but perhaps no bad thing this last year when there has been zero opportunity for being with anybody.

Insufficient exercise is probably part of it, i used to do a lot of running and kept myself in decent shape. Knees and hips started to feel the wear though round about same time mum died, and I've pretty well given it all up now. Though through the last 12 months I have been getting out for at least a short walk nearly every day in the nearby country park, which does raise the spirits a bit.

I think that you might have hit the nail on the head there. Life has just been so shit for everyone since the virus started. I almost feel that anyone who is still emotionally and mentally okay must have got something wrong with them!
