Always Tired, Need Help!

I was always feeling exhausted and tired throughout the day despite getting 8+ hours of sleep and had doctors say it was mental health related. Finally got psychiatrist to listen and even though I was borderline on paper for sleep apnea it turns out I had it and I was so tired because of the lack of oxygen during sleep. Sleep and mental health go hand in hand as many medications cross between them so I would bring it up to your doctor that despite getting a full night of rest you aren't actually rested

Fighting anxiety is a feat of itself, it makes sense you're tired! Getting moving, getting vitamin D, and giving yourself the occasional nap is good!

Relatable!!! Coffee/stimulants rly makes my anxiety worse

I use a function for breathing on my galaxy watch that vibrates every few seconds or so for a few minutes and that keeps me awake. Not sure what I'd do without it lately! I've been told magnesium supplements were supposed to help though. Haven't noticed a difference, but it must help some people.

A B12 deficiency can also affect energy. I have a gene mutation where I can’t convert my b12 to the form that our body uses for energy though so I take methyl folate to help my energy. It’s a MTHFR gene mutation.

I’ve found some supplements do seem to help a good multivitamin and I like ginko as well but it’s personal preference and some don’t believe in that sort of thing. I had a headache for the first week or so when I started ginko but then it subsided and I honestly think it’s helped me.

I get the same way and idk why my family said it could be a vitamin d deficiency
