What does fatigue do to you?

I have had two very tiring days, yesterday I had to fly to Brussels for work, on four hours sleep, today I had to drive 300 miles for work. My short-term memory is gone but more importantly I am not in control of my anxiety, obsession or self-control. How does serious exhaustion affect you?

I'm in a busy job, but not on a huge salary! I'm in Ireland, in negative equity, so don't have many options to reduce work

Hi Thesme make sure you eat properly, no sugar, little salt, no fried food, eat loads of veg/fruits, drink fresh orange juice and take your vitamins.

I know in Ireland don't pay much, it is bad, in England you will do the same job for twice or more the salary.

how hard it is to have demanding job with anxiety, poor you are you on some sort of medication??

Hi Thesme, me again I have read some of your postings but it seems you are already doing more than the above. what I can see is that you are exhausting yourself and anxiety drains the body, so you need a good rest every night. don't know how you do flying when u have anxiety, i always cry before flying!!! did not take flight for almost 2 years now!!!!

I'm terrible with fatigue. I struggle to get my words out and can't think logically at all. I work with Excel and figures a lot in my role so I know if I come in tired my working day is pretty much written off as I can't make sense of anything. I get really snappy with things and people too. I feel for my boyfriend having to live with me!
