It is exhausting. So sorry. Like EXHAUSTING meaning running on a whiff and a whim. I have found some things that really make me feel rejuvenation: winning a game online, taking soups (easy and balanced), wearing perfume or calming aromas around. I also like to meditate about history. How we discovered survival and “thrival” all this time. We are carried by our ancestors and at least one had it worse is my guess. I know mine did we were refugees. Don’t wanna let the team down. Hope you feel your energy restored.
I have been wondering if grief caused anyone else to feel exhausted. I was fine at the start and then 3 months after my Mum died the exhaustion just hit me. I seem to have picked up again. I posted on this site and someone recommended that I saw my GP. I did and found out that one of my blood tests came back outside the normal range. I am now on a prescribed supplement. There seems to be no cause, so my GP is putting it down to such a tough time. I am starting to think that the adrenaline of it all must unsettle the body physically as mind and body are very intertwined. It doesn’t take much to unsettle the body. I hope that the exhaustion starts to improve for you as it can be so debilitating.
I have been using those drinks for hangovers. They have blends and I’ve noticed magnesium and zinc and herbals dominate in a balanced delivery of “recovery” in the US you can buy powders or premade drinks. Also I was advised to get potassium for my heart and I bought a powder to add to add to water as well.
Yes it is exhausting it comes in waves. You can feel ok and just go through the motions of the days. Then the next you’re so tired you just don’t want to get up and do anything. It’s all part of the grieving process. Even now 3-1/2 years on from losing my mum it’s still hard. Mums birthday is in September and mum passed in October. I just hide away because I just can’t accept that life goes on without her on those days. Be extra kind to yourself every one grieves differently. Sending love and a big hug xx
