daytime tiredness

Do you get out of the house with your toddler in the morning? I think there are other things going on like maybe an exacerbation or depression/ADHD but caring for a toddler can be mentally draining. I find that when we do morning activities outside the home my 18 month old calms down and takes longer naps, allowing me to rest or even nap if I need to. I do often drink coffee to boost my energy a little.

I used to go through this. I found that there was something specific I was being exposed to that was causing it. When I stopped being exposed to it, this went away on most days.

bonie baby,
to be honest my morning routine takes a while. i get up, feed LO and myself, do therapy and shower-thats over generally around 11-11:30.
half the days already over.
and thats when the tiredness sets in. after showering i give LO lunch, we read and then she naps at 12.
i feel like i really can't get anything 'done' in my day until around 3 or so.
so for me to go out of the house in the a.m would be pretty hard. i guess i could juggle things around. but my a.m therapy can not be moved.

i know that all moms are tired-but i'm just trying to asses, are they as tired as me?-or is this normal? i mean, my legs hurt, my shoulders, my eyes...and often its so hard i really can't even get up.

as for emotional sides-i was dx'd with post traumatic stress disorder in 06, from childhood abuse. so i am very aware of feeling more depressed, and the difference between a few bad days and a mindset forming. thats why i called to start talking to someone again.

i know that emotional symptoms can be felt physically-i don't know if thats what i'm feeling. i'm more concerned thats its something physically wrong. but i guess we'll see.
now that spring is here, getting out would def help me.

michele-
may i ask what it is that you were exposed to that was making you tired?

The short answer: I threw out my glasses. I hardly wore them anymore except at work. I had begun soaking them in diluted peroxide overnight sometimes (which eventually stripped the decorative coating off) but they were getting worse and worse anyway. I was soaking them more and more frequently and it was less and less helpful. Every day at work, after a few hours, I would go through a period where I was threatening to fall asleep at my desk while working. I didn't go through this on days off, but I used to think it was my office that made me feel so bad. It never occurred to me it might be my glasses. As an experiment, I took them off a couple of days in a row at work. I was able to get my work done and I felt less sleepy. I don't have the money to replace them but decided it wasn't necessary to replace them. So I pitched them out about 3 days after I began to think they might be the problem. It took me that long to confirm my suspicions.

Not suggesting it's your glasses (if you wear glasses). Just saying there was an identifiable cause in my case and if you can find an identifiable cause, then you may be able to resolve it.
