My Anemia

My Anemia isn't something I often talk about but something I have to deal with on a daily basis. I've suffered with extreme tiredness and fatigue for about 7 years now. It came about at a time in my life when I had survive depression and anxiety and I believe that my anemia was a result of the stress from that period in my life. Anemia is an iron deficiency and makes day to day tasks hard for especially having a normal sleeping routine. I often find falling asleep and waking up in the morning difficult. I often feel like I can't physically move or get up in the morning and usually find my body is too weak to move so it usually takes me a good 1-2 hours to actually wake up properly. I can't honestly remember the last time I didn't feel tired or exhausted, even when I've had as much sleep or rest as I can I feel better than I do normally but I never feel 100%. The worst thing I think about having anemia is not being able to do anything about it but just living with it. I often try to do as much as I can because I don't want to sleep all the time and so I exhaust my self so I can actually sleep at night which isn't ideal. I take iron supplements daily which are good but the effects are not good enough to make me feel like they're suppressing it. Even though I know it's something I can't get rid of I am learning to manage it day by day.
