I've hit my spring drearyness. Either that or I'm dying. I'd like to think it's the former. For the past little while, with the beginning of this warm weather, I've felt pretty darn lethargic. If I'm not up and actively doing something, I'm falling asleep.
I've been worried that maybe I'm sick. Maybe this is a flare up of the dreaded Epstein-Barr that's been plaguing me since February of 2010. The symptoms don't quite match up, but the fatigue does. Of course, I've also been under a lot of stress lately. So maybe it's a stress tired?
Maybe it's all the coughing from being around smokers. It seems to give me a sore throat way down at the base of my throat too.
All these symptoms seem to have coincided with the introduction of the beautiful warm weather though. Allergies maybe? Or maybe it's working graveyard shifts all night. My body seems to be stuck between wanting to get up, get out and forage in the sunlight.....and to go back to winter and hibernate until I feel better.
At this point, I'm not really sure what to do about it. When I'm occupied with work, or talking with someone, or whatever, I feel fine. It's just when I'm on my own that I feel like I have trouble staying awake.
Bah. I would just like to feel better. *shakes her fist at the unknown ailment* screw you whatever it is.
Ick! I know that feeling. It's odd that you can be distracted from it though. Sounds like the tail end of the winter blues to me. The weather changing can really affect how you feel. I personally exercise constantly and find that even taking a few minutes to do some pushups boosts my energy WAY up, but a little while ago someone tipped me off to apple cider vinegar believe it or not. Mixing 2 teaspoons in with a glass of water and drinking this strange mix every day gives you a ton of energy in just a few weeks. I like it because it's more natural than coffee or a monster and doesn't have the crash at the end of the day lol. I spent my early teen years in a daze, I was always tired which was strange because I was such an active ADHD kid. I have athletic career goals and it was bringing me down, I was still in some way "fit" I guess, but I definitely didn't feel it. In the end my doctor just told me to force myself to keep up with a workout plan even if I didn't have the energy to do it. If looks could kill... the whole car ride home I had my mom singing "I told ya so" over and over again and just when I thought the car ride from hell was over, I get the honor of being made in charge of all the yard work for the next several years as well as being tasked with walking my big German hunting dogs all at once. If only looks could kill... But after a few weeks I noticed a difference and after a couple of years I returned back to my old hyper distracted self. So somewhere in my head dogs=energy. The more the merrier. You should ditch working at the hotel and become a dog whisper, dogs never complain, only love unconditionally <3
