Dear Agony Aunt

Lately, I feel sleepy all the time. I can't wake up in the morning, after work all I want to do is sleep. Weekends, all I wish to do is hide at home and sleep too.
Been kind of troubled lately, wondering if that's the cause. My boyfriend is breaking up with me. I hate my job. I stopped exercising for a month. My diet is not quite right (I hate vegetables).
 
Can you help me PLEASE?
 
Love,
Sleepy

 Dear Sleepy

It sounds to me like you are depressed. Being unhappy at work is emotional tiring and when that is added to a relationship breaking up it is a recipe for depression.
 
This is the time to start taking your life back.
Start exercising again.
Look for a new job
Retrain if necessary
Finish with your boyfriend.
 
If you give yourself time to heal after the break-up your next relationship will be so much stronger.
We all work for at least 7 hours a day so being happy in your job is important.
 
With exercise, a new job and a finish to the worrying about the relationship you will begin to feel much better.

It's normal to be depressed as you're miserable at work& ending any relationship (even if it's not working) is always hard; it's a grieving process. You WILL be depressed for awhile, and if you accept that it will pass quicker.

But accepting that DOESN'T mean giving in to it. Looking after your health is important. You should see your doctor and get a clean bill of health. You might have something missing in your diet or need multi vitamins or iron tablets.

Also it's important to cut out junk food like crisps and fatty fried food and alcoholic drinks; they're all full of calories and not good. Eating vegetables and fruit and lots of fresh juices helps. Plus walking. You should maybe walk with some of your girlfriends for support. You can eat chocolate and plain biscuits occasionally but in moderation. Drinking 3 glasses of water with a spoonful of apple cider vinegar mixed in is good for the body also.

You do have to try to find another job. You should ask friends to help you and send out your CV. If you could find other work and get more excercise and eat better, you will feel better and less depressed and less sleepy.

You should go out with friends and have hobbies you enjoy like reading or going to the movies or dancing; whatever you enjoy. This will take your mind off things. Keep a journal and reach out to friends& family for support.

If you're very depressed, you should see a therapist who will help you through this rough patch.

The relationship breakup will be hard to get over; but it's just a matter of time. Once you start changing your life and see a counselor if you need to and change your job and eat better, you will start to feel better. You do need to stop all contact with your boyfriend though so you don't prolong the pain. I guarantee that in 3 months you will feel MUCH better than you do now. In 6 months all this will just be a distant memory.

Hi Sleepy, I have a similar problem of always feeling tired; with me it's mainly due to taking anti- depressants.
I would advise you to see your gp first, just to rule out any physical cause for your tiredness, such as an underactive thyroid gland.
Having ruled that out, it's probably just time to review your situation. Follow all the above advice, but also do something just for you for a couple of hours, once or twice a week, such as going for a long stroll, or swimming, or watch a good film at the cinema. You could take a friend with you, who really allows you to be 'you'.
Also thinking about what really matters to you in life is important. Prioritise what matters to you and declutter your life from things and people you no longer need or who drag you down (such as your boyfriend). Reading a good book on spirituality may help; the psychologies magazine also often has some good tips.
Good luck, regards, Katt.

you should have a balanced diet too.
eat more vegetables and fruits can make you not
sleepy all the time.
