I am tired all the time. No matter what I do or do not do, I'm exhausted. But lately it's gotten worse. There are many reasons that it could be happening, but I believe it's not just one reason. Most of you know about my medical condition. Most people dont realize how tired I always am. There are many people who just laugh at me when they ask how im doing because my answer always has something to do with being tired. People also dont quite understand how i function. I do a lot. I dont drive, so if I cant find a ride, i walk. im fine if i get momentum. but as soon as i arrive or hit a red light, its like climbing up a steep hill to get going again.
Most of you have heard me mention my medical condition. Because my body doesn't process protein, I have no energy. I am on a medication but it does little to give me energy.
Most of you have also heard about the trauma from my childhood. Due to this, I don't believe I completely fall asleep. It's sort of like I'm always sleeping with one eye open.
My average day goes something like this. I wake up around 6:30 naturally from 8-9 hrs of sleep, but I'm left in half a daze for a while. I may finally drag myself out of bed by 7:30 or 8. I get dressed and stretch so that I can go run. I fall asleep on the floor. I go run which turns into a walk because I can't sustain it. I return home, shower, and read. I fall asleep on the couch. I get up and make lunch trying to figure what my body needs so I can stay awake and not feel so weak. Could be carbs, protein, iron, potassium, water? None of them wake me up. I work for 30 minutes and I have to rest. I work for another short time and rest again. This goes on for a few hours. I lay down and can't sleep. I leave for a bible study, a simple one hour walk. By the time I get there I'm so tried I can't even sit up straight. I get home and bal to bed I go.
This was my day yesterday. Several days ago I slept for 18 hours. The following day it was 12 hours. But each day goes pretty much like this.
