Tired & Run down
 
I need some motivation. Something to get me moving. I am very depressed right now. I have to get my house packed up before Monday and I haven't done ****.

I slept all of 3 hours last night maybe. Although one straight hour felt amazing. And I was dreaming again. I don't remember the last time I dreamt.

My biggest problem is these hot/cold sweats. What they heck? I wake up drenched and then I am freezing bc I am so wet. Do I put on a sweatshirt? Make it warmer in my room? Colder? Most of the times I wake up is bc I am cold and sweaty.

I have been drinking green tea to try to get some caffeine in me. I have an interview today at 2:30 so I have to power through that. Eating is hit and miss, but thats mostly because I have nothing in my house since I won't have a fridge after Friday.This is only day 2 for me.

Those night sweats stink. Really not much to do but get through them. I made sure I had a change of clothes handy.

Try to eat something. Start small with your packing job. One box, one room at a time. Pick a drawer to pack and box it.

Good luck with your interview this afternoon. Take it easy.

Good thing about those cold sweats is that the don't last beyond a few days so you won't have to put up with them for long.

Iron & B12 supplements might be an idea JulesS as us drinkers tend to be low on both and they give us energy.

Congratulations on 2 days. Hope the move goes OK

Adding iron to your diet without drs orders can be dangerous. Please talk to your dr before taking a supplement.

I hope that you feel better soon and sleep better as well. Good luck with the job interview.

Sorry, didn't mean to give med advice. As Anna says see doc first (good idea anyway in early revovery). They did help me
