Hi all, well we know we suffer from "fatigue" that is indescribable. But does any one else get a weird edgy kind of can't relax feeling sometimes mixed with it? I don't know if it is partly guilt that I should be doing many things, so when I do sit or lie down, my mind is telling my body that it isn't "that bad" to suck it up and go do something?? That is the best I can describe it today....Yes Yes Yes so tired but feeling so quilty then try to make myself do things then I feel defeated because I hurt so bad after and still dont finishExactly..... it sucks. realy bad.
Jena, I know exactly how you feel!! We have learn to let things go, and/or not be afraid to ask for help. I am having that exact feeling today. I'm physically exhausted, but have this anxious fluttery feeling inside of me. I don't like this feeling at all. I know Juliah, it is so yucky, because resting makes one part of the uncomfortableness worse, but continuing to do things, makes the physical part worse. Weird,
Yep, I get this too! Prednsione will make this worse! I have learned to live with dusty tables and dirty dishes in the sink but somedays its really hard not to beat yourself up over it!
Hi Jena, I know and absolutely hate that fatigued feeling. I'm not sure what is worse -- just feeling fatigued or feeling fatigued and hot, which drains my energy and make me angry.... One thing I do know is iron defiency anemia causes one's heart to pump more blood.... However, folic acid (by prescription) is supposed to help with that. Hmmmm! feeling guilty no---only when I hurt someone's feelings... Hope you feel better! Thank You Jazzy, that really made me feel better somehow.I am trying to learn balance, I am only about 18 months diagnosed.
Thanks!
Oh God, am I having that feeling today. Slow motion on the outside 100mph on the inside, can't stop the brain from going in many directions at once. Feel like pacing. Soo tired, but edgy and sorta manic. Really not good at all. Fixing to take an ativan and sit in the bathtub until I relax.
Had some high anxiety along with major depression about 13 years ago. Juliah, you will know the diagnoses of bipolarII. Means very depressed with lots of anxiety, not the sort of get naked and run down the street manic of bipolar I, just lots of anxiety.
It worries me a lot if I start to feel this way. Don't want it to get out of hand. Thanks for letting me join in on this thread.

I have days like too. And since I am back on bed rest it cn be really difficult to deal with. I play card games or board games with the girls to have my mind doing something besides flying 100mph. Also gives my body something to do besides lay in bed.Me too. I would like to join the fatigued but restless club. I find if I'm stuck in bed - my imagination is the best way to go. I envision our new house and what I'm going to do with it, picture a great memory with my daughter and play it through moment by moment, think about something positive, etc. It sometimes helps - sometimes does not.
I sure understand the feeling. It's icky.
