At last...

I awoke and physically felt I could stay up. I have the fatigue that comes with depression. I have the fatigue that comes with being chronically dehydrated. I have the fatigue of just being 61 years of age, I have the fatigue that comes with being anemic. I live tired. I so like the coffee that I self-roast and self-grind. I like using my computer. I like chatting. I like working on my home when I get the energy and time. Most of my life I was too scared and too under the influence of terrible drugs as with alcohol, pot, speed, etc to get much of anything useful and self-satisfying done. Now, I am ready for life. Now if I could only stay awake for it. In the distant past I heard 'old' persons saying they don't want to eat. Not eating leads to bad health including fatigue. I would wonder, "But their still alive why not eat." Now I know, it is not a 'like' thing. It's 'bed' sounds so much better. But, there are times that my bed looks like a scratchy crusty thing that I ain't got any control of not going back to it.

I was anemic during 2 of my pregnancies. Do you take any vitamin supplements. Iron and a B complex are helpful with anemia and promote energy.

Thanks for the support gals. I take many supplements as I have very bad adsorption. All that can be done is being done to alleviate the problem. I wish I could come with something to help others and me to have the desire to eat more than they want or need to sleep. I wonder if living alone all these years dampens my appetite some. Maybe, I should look towards or forward to sharing a life with some woman err, or women ahhh, naw one would be enough jeez.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
