Emotional/physical exhaustion? can someone tell me?!

Emotional/physical exhaustion? can someone tell me?

i had a particularly stressful semester last semester. i slept about 3-4 hours a night and just found myself exhausted and overwhelmed with work, school and everything else. three months in, my brain stopped being able to function and learn material.

now, even though school is over, i do feel exhausted still a lot, and even though i am now sleeping. i can't even work eight hours without feeling like the life is sucked out of me. i have to take things really slow and relax a lot, or i don't feel well.

also, i got these really big bags under my eyes... will they go away with rest????

can someone tell me what is going on , how long before i recover and anything else about this condition.... personal stories, anything? thanks.

Have you had a complete physical with bloodwork done? Any number of physical conditions can cause what you are describing. Stress included. I was diagnosed with MS when I couldn't function and was so exhausted all the time.
Sometimes a good old fashioned attitude adjustment can work wonders.
For myself, I finally decided to be the thorn in life's side, instead of it being the thorn in my side.
Sometimes a dietary adjustment is necessary, or taking vitamins.
Depression also could be a factor.
Until you get a complete physical, or an attitude adjustment, I'd be nice to myself (bubble baths!!) and try to get extra sleep.
I hope this helps somewhat. Best of luck to you!!
