Where has my got up and go gone up and went??
I have been so struggling with lack of energy, lack of anything really. I don't know whether it's the weather, time of year, two kids on crutches, ?!?!?!? Every day I get up tired, I haven't even done anything yet and I am overwhelmed with the little things of life, such as dishes, laundry etc. I really, really don't like feeling this way, but all I really desire to do is get a big warm blankie and a good book, light my candles and sip some tea. That is fine to do I know, but that's all I want to do. I am not depressed, just no energy. I have to kick myself to get up and do something. I am feeling frustrated with it now, maybe I need some vitamins? It makes the days seem unaccomplished. Anyways, wondering if anyone else is feeling the same thing?

Maybe you need to let yourself rest for a while? Have you really allowed yourself to rest lately? There is a reason that God commanded a day of rest. I think that us women can overlook that with all of the demands that we have each day. And then, before we know it... we crash & can't sum up the energy to do anything. This is speaking from my own personal experience.
I am glad to hear that you are not depressed because that was one of my first thoughts!
Suggestion? If after allowing yourself a few days to a week of true rest you still cannot sum up the energy to do anything... see a doctor! There could be more to it!
TWO KIDS on crutches? What happened to the second one? Wow... when it rains it pours doesn't it! No wonder you are tired! You are probably carrying more than your share of the load around your house:)
I completely relate to what you're going through. I think it's a natural, and normal, body reaction after going through a very stressful time. You've been running on adrenaline a lot these past few months, and now that the stress is past your body is telling you that you need to slow down, eat properly, get some sleep, exercise, and be calm. It won't last forever, although in the past I have often worried(when it happens to me) that it will last forever.
Give yourself a break. The housework will always be there. Be nice to yourself. Sit on the couch and read. It'll pass.
