I’m feeling exhausted : Laura’s Daily Life:

Dec

I had to go to the doctor today. I’ve been too exhausted, I know why: too much work in the office too much work at home. I’ve been having a lot of headaches, nauseous and I was afraid there was something wrong with my arterial tension.

When as soon as the doctor saw me, she told me I’m too white meaning I’m probably anaemic. I have some urgent blood test to do tomorrow once this should be checked soon because from time to time I have anaemia.

Arterial tension was 8-13 which are the values I had 7 years ago when I had my big depression. Before going into antidepressants (which I don’t wanna take) I’m going to try a treatment based in supplements: magnesium, iron and a complex for lost of memory and attention. My memory is affected and I often forget things.

I know this is just from being exhausted, I have to organize myself (don’t know how). I’m alone at work because my co-worker fired herself. I’m alone doing 2 people jobs, I have a house to clean, laundry, two kids to take care of, cook, etc. etc. I’m going nuts and I can’t avoid it. I’m just exhausted.

I won’t be working 24 or 26 so I have 5 days to get some rest and than again next week 5 more days, than a whole year of leaving home at 8.30 and arriving at 19:00 at home. I just hope I win the lotto soon or I will get crazy.

Geeze woman, you need to take it easy. Listen to your body and don’t do anything that will strain you or cause stress. Relax a little. It’s the holidays!! ^-^

I’ve read some other posts in your blog and I just realized that you’re married. I’m not going to be mean when I say this, but I didn’t know. I thought you were a single mom.

Ask your husband to help you! Why do you do all the work when you get home from work??

Feel better. Anemia is serious and it will cause you to feel worse than tired. Stress has nothing to do with it but will add to you feeling worse.

Please take care Laura! Merry Christmas! Enjoy the time off to relax.

I really need to relax and not worry to much if the kids are “killing each other”. I worry too much about that also and they are bother and sister they have to defend themselves from each other.
Work, I’ll try to worry about it when I get back on Thursday.

My husband is a great helper at home, he used to come home at 5pm before October and that allowed me to have a more relaxed life since he was home earlier than me and he used to prepare dinner, make the beds, do some laundry, cleaning. But in October my husband changed to a better job, they allow him to do extra hours and that means extra money, we were really in deep debt. What happens now is that he arrives home at about 8pm (I arrive at 7pm), he doesn’t even come home for lunch. This was the big change. I’m not so worried about money but I have him less at home that’s why he doesn’t help so much now. He leaves home at 7.10am and arrives at 8pm that’s why I have more tasks to do now. (these tasks includes updating 4 blogs…something I have to rethink)
The blood tests show that I’m on the minimum value of red globules and that iron reserves in the body are low, They told me the results by phone, told me not to worry because the values, although low they were not bad, so as soon as I have the paper result I will check it with the doctor. For now I’m continuing taking the supplements and be more careful with means.
Thanks for your concern.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I meant “be more careful with meals”.
