Shattered all the time!!

[yoyo]

I so desperately want to crawl back into bed but I'm trying to plod through things with the hope that my mood and energy levels will lift.

Does anyone else feel ABSOLUTELY SPENT - no energy left whatso ever? I begin to think I've got some kind of terrible illness on top of this like ME or something! Don't think so, am hoping it's all to do with the PNI. I could sleep for days if given the opportunity - in fact my hubby looked after little one all day saturday and I slept until 6 pm solid - he even hoovered in the bedroom I was sleeping and I didn't know!!

Hope you are all doing ok today. Big hugs to anyone feeling rotten.

I have to go to bed now

But yes I felt that tired all the time with PNI whether or not I got any sleep.

It was like the tiredness was in my bones.

And it was defiantly PNI as soon as this went - the tiredness went.

I have much more reason to feel tired now being years older and with a disability and of course I get tired.

But it is not that deadly tiredness.
A lot of people with PNI think that they must have a terrible physical illness the big C or something else - because they can not imagine that an emotional/mental illness can make you feel so physically awful and tired .

But it can and it does.

I will speak to you soon

Thanx Veritee - You state exactly how I feel - it really is your whole body being tired and you feel absolutely no better for a nap in the day but somehow it's all you seek. It's like you're completely flat, glad to hear it goes when the PNI does x

Just want to add what an absolutely excellent forum this is - a real help.

im feeling VERY tired alot of the time... after being sent my P45, i am now sleeping from 1am to about 2pm... and feel desperatly tired all day. I sleep in the car (not driving), sleep with hovering going on, sleep if i sit on the bed, sleep sleep sleep... i thought i might be oversleeping, so i made myself get up at 8am etc and get out and do things, but i could hardly move for tiredness... and then id have another attack of bad feelings, give up, and curl up in bed and think about suicide...

Dear quootiepie

please can we support you?
do you ant to tell us a bit more about yourself.

I only saw your post because I had gone to bed but I got up to get a drink and had left the PC on

But I really was concerned by what you said - you sound so desperate - you reminded me of myself

and about sleeping in the car - you could have been me speaking.

I guess because you have you P45 you are not working at the moment - but I was and grabbed sleep in laybys at the roadside in between leaving work and collecting my baby from nursery or childcare.

I was so tired and I knew that once I had collected my baby I would have hours - if not all night of no sleep and seeing to her needs - so the car was the only place i could sleep sometimes.

But mostly I got enough sleep but felt so tired any how - however much sleep I got - I still slept in the car or like you anywhere.

can we help/

all we can do is share our experiences and what we did to cope and listen

but we would like to listen to your story

Please tell it to us

All the best

Id be glad of an support... thank you. I am on a general high right now having just found out im pregnant... and i know i have everything to live for, but i can see something uncontrollable happening...
I am keeping ontop on my medication more than ever and dont miss even one tablet, and have got tranzilisers (sp) to take at night when "panic attacks" usually set in... but as i am pregnant, i am waiting till Monday to go to the doctors to see if i can continue on them, and the anti-depressents. If not, i fear being like i was about two months ago... panic wasnt the word. I was shaking, crying, everything was just crashing down round me in my head, i thought it woud never ever end. I never thought id be at the stage i am now, where the episodes are daily, or every two days instead of six, seven, eight times a day... and last a shorter amount of time, 2 hours maximum. I slept with the light on full, and the t.v on... whereas now the t.v is still on but ive braved the light being off...
Another fear is instead of being ok in the next 8 months, it will happen all over again when i have my baby...
