Tired Today

I am feeling exhausted today.  Haven't been sleeping very well for months now.  Today I am cutting back on caffiene and sugar in hopes that this will help me sleep. Am also ordering a treadmill this week to start exercise again.  I feel too tired to think.  I really would like to take a day off but not eligible for vacation yet.  I need that day just to rest.  I am going to try to get through this day amnd week but admit its a struggle and its only mid day Mon. 


Nothing has changed much-everything remains the same.

tread mills take a lot of floor space and are pretty expensive...they need to be used enough to make them worth while....good luck....

Is it possible for you to get some sleep and rest on the weekends?

My life currently is non stop busy every day of the week. But, I catch up on my sleep on the weekends. I don't schedule anything for my Saturday or Sunday. I need to sleep!!

Hope you can take some Me time and rejuvenate. Taking care of ourselves first, is so important. Other things and people can wait.

I can only imagine what you are going through. I find it hard to sleep myself during the week, albeit I make a lot of effort into trying to take a lot of naps during the weekend and it does pay off.

I haven’t had a drop of caffeine for 7 days now. But I stopped walking cause I hurt my back again. The no caffeine does help. And that 30min walk an couple hours before bed really helped clear my head. Seems like your on the right track. Just keep at it.

I work full time too and am exhausted. Sleeping and working all the time just leads to depression which makes you even more tired. Its an endless cycle. I can not afford to take time off either so now that Spring is in the air i am hoping to be able to go for walks on my days off i hope.

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
