Mostly about Fantasy genre: Special emphasis on Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Deed of Paksennarion. Music, poetry and random ramblings. Actually, anything is up for grabs. Probably not politics, but everything else is fair game. Please ignore al

I don't feel like myself lately. I'm tired all of the time, can't seem to get myself going. However, when I try to sleep, I rarely get more than an hour without waking up. I'm extremely irritable and my temper is on its shortest leash ever. My body aches, and I can't get my mind to focus. The random "mystery" bruises are my biggest worry. They're getting worse and more frequent.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to start taking sleeping pills just to get some rest. I know it sounds like depression, but it isn't. I'm not even stressed any more. My life is actually panning out pretty well at the moment. Sure, I have some papers to write, but that's really not a reason to stress out.

I just don't get it. My guess is anemia. It makes sense. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to head to student health services to find out and I'm placing my bets that they send me to the counselors. I may just take my sleeping pills and some iron pills and see if that doesn't help. It really bugs me to feel this way. Argh. and blah.

I'm still going for the blood tests, because it could be my thyroid messing up again.

That was actually my first guess when you mentioned your problems.  I get totally whacked out when my thyroid dose is wrong, and I also end up with insomnia.  I also ens up with bruises because, well, when I'm off, so is my coordination and I end up running into things without even realizing it.

A best bet would be to go get you iron and thyroid levels checked as well as glucose, just to make sure.

I hadn't thought about glucose... I may add it to the battery of tests. I've had thyroid problems in the past, so that's a pretty good bet.
