Help, Im so tired!

Have you noticed any weight gain? Are you cold a lot? It could be your thyroid. When I was younger, I felt tired ALL the time suddenly. I had no energy. I went to the doctor, which I suggest you do, to be sure I wasn't anemic or something and we discovered that my thyroid was underactive. On the right dose of thyroid hormones, I woke up, felt better, lost the 10 pounds I had slowly gained, and just felt like myself again. We have since raised the dose a few times and every time I get really tired and start dragging, I go for a test to be sure it isn't my thyroid. It usually is. However, you could be anemic or even coming down with a bad cold or other virus that starts out sapping you of your energy. I definitely would see a doctor to have some blood taken to be sure you aren't iron deficient or that you don't have an underactive thyroid. If all comes back fine, you could try exercising. It sounds nuts because you're tired but if you force yourself to exercise for even 15 minutes a day, it really does eventually help with general tiredness or lack of energy. I wouldn't try to self diagnose though. If you feel different than you once did, it calls for a visit to the doctor, in my opinion. Good luck. I have been there many times and I hated being so tired and lacking energy so badly.

Some times one may feel tired if one is depressed, stressed or too bored with ones monotonus schedule. I used to feel tired everyday for almost 3 or 4 months. I was unable to understand the reason. You may also try doing yoga or exercise regularly. That may help you. I took a different approach and that helped me. But may be its not suitable for everybody. I would wake up in the morning and the first thing I would do is take a bath and meditate on God and chant his name as well as read spiritual books. It helped me boost my energy about 80%. I used to feel happy and relaxed whole day. Now I do not feel tired any more. But I remember those days and after getting up from sleep I used to feel I should go to sleep again. I was not physically tired but actually mentally tired.

I get tired like that, too. My doctor has told me to take iron supplements as I'm anemic and low iron will cause that. You could just try taking a multi vitamin. Or ask a doctor about it.
