Yes I’ve seen a doctor, have had all the tests, etc.
I think it’s working full time, household management, 2 cats, single parenting a teenager, grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, cleaning up, gardening, self care, exercise, appointments, my grad program, my sons school drop offs, homework etc., some semblance of fun/friends, etc.
Oh yeah in the middle of like impending collapse and ww3.
Have humans always been this busy and tired? I feel like people have always been busy but it personally feels like too much. I’m tired 🥲

I’ve been tired as fuck for the last 15 years
This is what capitalism does to us.
Chronically fatigued for over 2 years post covid. Capitalism is here to grind you into dust if you let it.
That’s so true working full-time job sucks the life out of you. That is a tough schedule, but it will get easier; you will graduate one day, and your teenager will drive soon. It’s a few tough years but not a tough life. It’s tough cause you are in the process of a better life, but you will hopefully seek the reward soon.
The trouble is we absorb everything we need to do. Then that becomes the new normal, then something else crops up that we have to take care of, so we do, then something else, and something else. Before we know it we’re suffocating under the weight of everything we have no choice but to carry. But we have to keep going.
Yes, I’m also tired AF. Tired to the bone. Every cell in my body is tired. I wish I had an answer that could solve your problems, but all I can say is you’re not alone with it. Try to take care of yourself, and I hope things get better for you soon.
Okay well being a single parent + working full time probably has something to do with it let alone grad school and the other stuff you mentioned. But I do think, assuming you’re in The States, we’re living more fast paced than ever with less help than ever while also having more exposure to how fucked up the world is than ever. Lethal mix.
Whenever I see a post like this it’s always someone who is doing a lot. No wonder you’re tired! I’m not tired because I have no kids and I have a partner who does a lot of household things. And I only work full-time. I’m sure if I were a single parent who was also in grad school I’d also be exhausted.
I’m a first time mom to a newborn. She’s 5 weeks old. I have never been more exhausted and sleep deprived in my entire life.
Yes I’m tired as heck! Like fatigued type tired. I’ve had blood work as well and everything fine. I thought it was just me. Even with proper sleep I don’t ever feel well rested.
I just want to say I hear you and I see you! I just got done with doing a 1-1/2 year program while working full time and handling the house, pets, health, family etc. just remember that you are allowed to say F it and let some things go. Sometimes I turned in assignments late bc I needed the break and as long as I understood the material I didn’t worry about my grades. Sometimes I ordered take out and I even would take a mental health day from work. Just saying this to remind you that if you are capable of and need to, give yourself a break! I’m here to tell you that you deserve it and yes it’ll get better.
