Ok, so when people used to say to me "Exhaustion is a real sickness" I used to laugh at them, until recently. I am emotionally spent, exhausted and gosh darn tired. I didn't even know that it was possible to be this worn out. I haven't slept much, in and out of hospitals with my daughter, another medical center this week with my youngest daughter, and the next week after that cardiologist with my sons. This is all on top of daily stress of having five kids, housework, life..etc.
I can't sleep because I have two babies, and my mind is always going a million miles a minute and for the life of me I can't get caught up with work. I can't work from where I am at the moment, so it's just getting worse. I am sitting at this computer in a daze, and I really feel like my head has been replaced with someone elses. LOL I know that sounds ridic.
So my question is, has anyone ever suffered from real "exhaustion", like medical exhaustion, or is it all in my head. I feel like I am damn near a mental breakdown and searching on google is just making it worse. I may have a panic attack about having a panic attack at any minute and just wondering if this "exhaustion" thing is for real. I know BingoT is a nurse and many others out there, so please refrain from laughing at my silly question because it is definitely genuine.
If it is a real medical diagnosis, how is it treated? I am a bit confused, and as I said earlier...Google isn't helping.
Thanks!
