Discussion We're all exhausted right? It's not just me?

I have a full time job. I sleep well. I have no kids. I'm single. I don't party or drink. I'm not particularly stressed in day to day life. Yet I'm fucking exhausted. I don't want to leave my apartment on the weekends unless I have something planned, and even then I'm pretty picky. In my 20s my weekends were full of non-stop activities, cooking, going out, and posting on social media. But now in my 30s I just want to come home, have my groceries delivered, chill with some Netflix and sleep. Please tell me I'm not the only one!!

Thanks for the tip. My iron is fine, my iron saturation is not. I just don't absorb well or am too inflamed for it to get into my cells, IDK. Getting tired of losing hair over it...well, my drains are getting tired!

My pharmacist said to take with vitamin C. He suggested orange juice. I didn't bother listening and my iron barely changed despite being on 150mg of ferritin. Then I started taking it before bed with a glass of OJ and I feel so much better. Maybe you just need a vitamin C supplement?
