Emotional/physical exhaustion? can someone tell me?!

Emotional/physical exhaustion? can someone tell me?

i had a particularly stressful semester last semester. i slept about 3-4 hours a night and just found myself exhausted and overwhelmed with work, school and everything else. three months in, my brain stopped being able to function and learn material.

now, even though school is over, i do feel exhausted still a lot, and even though i am now sleeping. i can't even work eight hours without feeling like the life is sucked out of me. i have to take things really slow and relax a lot, or i don't feel well.

also, i got these really big bags under my eyes... will they go away with rest????

can someone tell me what is going on , how long before i recover and anything else about this condition.... personal stories, anything? thanks.

Have you been to the doctor? Maybe you have/had mono. It can hang on for up to a year. Take plenty of B and C vitamins, get extra sleep and even naps if you can. Ask your doctor if you can get B vitamin shots for a while. They can really, really help give you better energy until your body starts to catch up.

Oh! Yes the bags will go away when your body gets enough nutrition and sleep. It takes time. Hang in there!
