Haven't put anything in here for a few weeks, but have really struggled this past week or so.
Feeling really flat, not wanting to go to work, exhausted all the time and pretty irritated.
I had the option of going out riding on Saturday and just couldn't get excited, so I stayed home. Toddler has started waking up at 6, so have gotten up with him the last few days and given the wife a lie-in, then tried to go back to sleep when she got up. Yesterday I went back to sleep from 730 til 10, and still felt smashed for the rest of the day, yawning and it got to 9pm and I just wanted to go to sleep again.
New baby is doing well, and slept from 9pm until 6am so its not him keeping me from sleeping - he's up once a night if that.
Had some bloods done when I first went to the docs about all this, and he said they were all good other than my high cholesterol and fatty liver, which I knew about already.
My psychologist recommended getting on some multivitamins, so need to look into that. She has a nursing background so not just throwing things out there. I think there is some merit, but also think its a recipe for expensive piss. I might give it a go and see if there is any placebo effect.
Motivation is non-existent, not finding any joy in anything, irritation is always round the corner. I'm eating and drinking too much (stout season is not helping). I weigh more than I have in quite a few years.
I feel like I should be prioritising my physical health as well, but I'm not. By the time the kids are asleep, I just want to sit down and do nothing before I go to bed.
I'm thinking of buying some kettlebells and finding a circuit I can do in half an hour or so a couple of times a week, but need to get motivated to do that.
