I just find at least one day where it's better to stay close to home.  The days before I'm so tired I just want to veg out.  I have lots of to do in the house but try to keep up.

I do feel tired had have heavy clotting during the first couple of days.  I heard that the menstrual cycle depletes iron levels in the body (which can be a cause of sleepiness and drowsiness).  I take an extra iron supplement during my cycle to combat that tired feeling.

Haha I have exactly the same problem, I will be up all night and then I will sleep all day, but if I have to do something during the say and I don't get to sleep I will be up all the next night, I just can't seem to sleep during the night. crazy huh?

Well not this morning or that morning as the case may be but at my last job i got into the habit of doing it every couple of months. The hardest thing is when you do it on a Thursday then sometimes it is hard not to do it on the Friday as well. I eventually quit the job and got a new one and it's only been 5 weeks but i haven't felt like staying home once yet. :)

As we get older, our interests change, our needs change.  Let's face it,...it's easy to find ourselves in a bit of a rut from time to time, too.  Whatever you MIGHT be going through inside RIGHT NOW is, perhaps, causing you to merely "shift" attention to yourself, moving you into the direction that brings you,...to YOU.  Your friends are STILL your friends.  If keeping a daily journal, taking note of your feelings at any given moment through the course of the day, or even when you get home from work would help,...through writing, you may eventually "pull out" what nags you, and why.  Or, you "began to feel uncomfortable today" when,...well, you get the picture.  Sometimes, being by ourselves can afford us THE OPPORTUNITY to reflect, meditate, "discover" OURSELVES and who we are.  I suppose too, it could be our own way of becoming "refreshed", readying ourselves to be part of the world again.  Avoid "total" isolation, though, okay?  Perhaps when you visit with your friends, try setting your "mental timer" for 30 minutes.  When you "hear" it "ding", excuse yourself and go on about your way for the day, or the evening.  By making your visits possibly shorter, it may very well lessen the chance for that strange sort of dread and anxiety to make it's "appearance".  As time goes on, you can increase the minutes on your "timer".  Give yourself the time YOU need.  Go a little easier on yourself.  Get enough sleep and eat healthy.  Try a brisk walk around your neighborhood on a sunny day or at a park you haven't gotten around to going to yet.  Talk to someone you are close to or seek counseling if you really find what you're feeling persists.  You WILL be fine.  Take care.

I hit the afternoon slump too- I just eat something like an apple and take a quick walk outside- just a lap around the building on my break- it feels good- especially this time of year.  The cold air wakes you up and it feels good to get outside and stretch after sitting at a desk all day.

Personally, I stay very busy with work.  After work, I've been focusing on things that I tend to neglect when my hubby is home.  Things like my fitness, planning more nutritious meals, scrap-booking, cleaning and purging old clothing, paperwork, etc.  Then I discovered this bloomin' site and I've been spending a lot of time being the biracial Oprah giving all sorts of advice!  LOL

No your not the only one.  I use to be in your situation, I mean I never used to seem as run down as you say you are, or atleast not all the time, but it's a major drag to have to wait for buses & run your schedule around them. It makes you not want to do anything.  Especially where I use to wait for them in South TX where it's really hot.  The problem is that your not able to do what you want & w/ in your time schedule. So your just a little depressed which is what is making you feel like you don't want or have the energy to do anything.  & w/ the time it takes to wait for the bus & to actually get to where you want to go takes a bit of your time as they are  constantly making stops.  One of the mains things tht will help you in your situation would be to save some money & get a car. Even if it's just a little cheap car till you can get a little bit better one.  Which w/ a car you can than look for a better paying job since you'll have your own transportation now & can than save alittle quicker to get a better one.  This should take away the slight depression & low energy abt the bus thing.  & if this still doesn't have you feeling better after a couple or few wks you might actually be low in Iron.  When your body is low in Iron you tend to feel run down, no or little energy, even tired alot of the times, when you never use to be as tired all the time.  But before you go trying to consume Iron you should consult your Dr. to have some blood work done to test/check your Iron level.  & since it'll probably be alittle while before you can get a car you can even go ahead w/ checking your Iron level now so tht way if tht is one of the problems you can get a start on tht while you save for your car.  & if you don't want to go to the Dr. & get checked, you can start eating more iron rich foods. Such as leafy veggies like lettuce, spinach, etc.  If you don't like tht there's eggs, most soups, red meat, raisins, clams, & strawberries are a great source as they have Iron & vitamin C.  Vitamin C helps Iron to absorb in your body. But at the same time don't go & eat nothing but Iron rich foods as tht isn't good either. You can even check out these 2 health sites below.  Well I hope I have been able to help you.

Stress also breaks me out terribly.  You should eat right, lots of veggies and water, get lots of sleep 8 to 10 hours minimum and also exercise. I noticed after i started getting at least 20-30 minutes of just walking a day, I feel less stressed and my face looks clearer.

It's been my experience that you just have to make the best of either one.  When you're away from home you can still find plenty of things to do; it's just really hard to get your mail.

Do you know any other young wives and mothers in the neighborhood? If you do, why not hang out with them. If you don't, then introduce yourself.  Plan outings and fun things to do. You don't have to stay home 24/7. Do something nice for yourself. Do you have family nearby? See if you can get a family member to babysit for a few hours so that you can go out and enjoy yourself, pamper yourself!!!! I hope that things will get better for you. I know what it feels like. Sometimes we are so busy taking care of everybody else that we forget about ourselves.

Ah the world of shift work. I work 12 hour days and 12 hour night shifts and talk about exhausted. You need to go easy on youself and allow yourself a recovery day, especially after nights. Go easy on the coffee, eat healthy ,regular small meals or snacks ,at work  or home,since big meals can add to the tiredness. I tend to stress out a bit on the night before I start my day shifts so I take a low dose of sleep-aid, half the normal dose, on that night. I guess I am worried about waking up on time(0430), and what I am going into. (I work as a nurse in a large jail) After my first shift back I tend to relax and can sleep better. I also prepare all my meals before going back to work so I don't do any cooking at all on the days I work. LOL.

Kick back and do nothing. I just want to get caught up on some rest. Be lazy for one day.

Whew!! I'm tired just from reading what you accomplish in a days time. I would say your definitely not lazy. I also am a "domestic goddess" (work at home but dont get paid ). People are constantly saying "it must nice to not have to work". It used to bother me alot what other people thought, now I simply smile and reply "it is". Afterall, if we arent getting paid for what work we do, we cant lie around and watch soaps all day and eat bon bons. Cause we cant afford the bon bons.

Yesterday, ooh what a wonderful day. Spent the entire day at home with my wife. Never even drove off of the property, the furtherest I got away from the house was the walk to the mailbox (no bills HURRAH). Spent the entire day working in beds; tilling, furrowing, sowing seeds.
