Exhaustion and Lack of Focus
Just a question....
I've been going through this period recently where I am always exhausted - mentally and emotionally. Sometimes people talk to me and I can't even tune in enough to process what they're saying. I mean - I literally walk off midway through the conversation and I don't even know why I do it.
I've been sleeping about 6-8 hours a night (which is my usual) but I wake up exhausted too.
I've never been this mentally sluggish and easily frustrated. I get these periods of irrational anger, too.
Anger + exhaustion + inattention = disaster.
The only two things that have changed since I've been having these problems - about 2.5 weeks - are the following:
- We're going through a strategy process at work which has taken a lot of time and emotional energy
- I've not been working out
- It's the end of the semester and I'm busy with class deadlines
I also recently got bitten by a spider...but other than that there have been no major illnesses or any other changes.
Any ideas about how I can cure my malaise? I'm starting to get worried - I can't focus, am always tired, and I scare myself when I get angry like I've been doing. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
