[QUOTE="hooverhedgehog, post: 2275367, member: 507074"] Hi this is my first post on here. I have very recently been diagnosed with T2 ( last couple of months) along with high blood pressure. I am not really surprised I am overweight and of African descent which makes me more liable so I understand. This forum caught my attention because I am tired all the time with little energy and needing to sleep most days for up to 2 hours even after a good nights sleep. I am 55. I am diagnosed with depression long term 20 years - and this is mainly linked to my mood which is effected by my tiredness and ability to cope with day to day life. Up until 5 years ago I was able to cope and kept an orderly house, was on top of everything and functioning well Managing the tiredness and depression. My marriage ended unexpectedly and since then I have been through immense stress as a result of ongoing emotional and financial abuse. I am very slowly trying to get my life back into some order but the comments on here from Lowcarb2 about starting a job and being unable to finish due to tiredness resonate so much. I had to move home as a result of the divorce and did not have the energy to clear the house of unwanted items before the move. I ended up bringing the contents of a large 4 bed home to a 3 bed with some put in storage. I am now trying to catch up but it is very very slow progress and as a result feel like I am living in chaos and clutter. I was also diagnosed with breast cancer that required surgery and radiotherapy just as the marriage ended so the comments on here about this are also interesting. In my late teens during A levels I had suspected Glandular fever and I was off college for over a month never fully returning. In my early thirties I was off work for over a year following difficulties with management and diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder. I never returned and was lucky enough not to need to work. (I had also just got married). I have noticed stiff joints, always had a problem with my left hip and went through a period were I was falling over a lot ( again in last 5 years) and then ended up having back surgery following a lower disc issue. I am forever trying to understand this tiredness which nobody else I know seems to suffer from. I believe I may have had a breakdown recently as unable to get out of bed for over a week just as we went into lockdown. My children had to return here from uni rather than to their family home and I was also under extreme financial pressure still being controlled by my ex husband. I question myself whether I may have had the virus I had a tight chest and headaches - something I don’t normally suffer from - and was just wiped out. I am conscious that I need to work on my health and primarily get my weight down. But just reading this forum has made me wonder whether there is something more going on with me and I am prone to certain conditions linked to autoimmunity. I just wanted to say thanks for posting this - I may be a bit closer to understanding my circumstances [/QUOTE]
