By the time he was six months old, I'd had an ear infection so bad it displaced my jaw for a few days, lost my voice, got conjunctivitis twice and had several migraines. And still, I thought, 'what's wrong with me? Why can't I do EVERYTHING?' <br /><br />It's amusing to me that often our bodies will be very clear when we should be slowing down - or, heaven forbid, stopping for a moment! - and we're so stubborn as to ignore them. I'm really glad you went to the doctor and that you're taking it easy. And thank goodness for a significant other who will stop you from going grocery shopping!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765957349223685714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-78034401744461593462014-10-06T10:45:43.185-04:002014-10-06T10:45:43.185-04:00That kind of malaise can indeed be a symptom of de...That kind of malaise can indeed be a symptom of depression as well, if it's consistent and persistent. Feeling empty, washed-out, and without even enough energy to do basic tasks like getting out of bed is the primary way it presents for me. It also feels deceptively like "being lazy."<br /><br />I'm glad that you got checked out and treated, and that whatever it is is treatable and that you will be okay. Please take care of yourself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
