Fatigue
I'm wondering what you all do when you're feeling fatigue set in. Every year, around this time I start getting really tired, I've been really active for the past couple of months hoping it would help, but I'm not sure.
I think I must get very mild SAD, but I don't have any depression symptoms except that I get so tired in the fall/winter. (I realized I keep going in around January asking my doc to do blood work - but it's always great, so I'm guessing it's the season)
I know exercise is supposed to help, but I feel like it's actually making me more tired this year, especially after morning workouts. I'll be great for a few hours after then I crash hard. It is so frustrating.
I've been taking spin and swim classes with my swim class at 6:30 pm and one of my spin classes the next morning at 8. I just couldn't do it today. Mentally I felt I should go and I knew I could push through it and I tried to tell myself to toughen up but my body gave a big fat no.
So, back to the question, what do you do when you're feeling fatigue set in? Any tips/tricks. I think I eat pretty well, I exercise, I try to go to bed early and get at least 8 hours of sleep - of course I'm in school so keeping stress down is hard but I'm doing pretty well with that.
