In reply to Rachy. I've been taking vitamin D pills, and they actually help a lot, so I would definitely recommend looking into them. Thank so you much for reading and your kind words :) x

In reply to Michelle. I’m glad I’m not the only one. I feel like I see so many people reverting to normal, and still doing so much. I know not everyone is so open about what’s going on in their lives, but social media makes it so easy to feel like you’re the only one who’s not feeling the best. Thanks so much for reading and commenting :) x

In reply to Laura Jane. What is NLP? Maybe that’s what the issue is? The pressure post-pandemic? I’ve been trying hard to prioritize my wellbeing. The problem is, that I sometimes feel like there isn’t enough time for the amount of time I think I need. Hopefully it passes soon, and I’m back to feeling better!

Before lockdown, my work involved meeting up with clients regularly and travelling around London. My job now is mostly home-based which I think is making me feel much more anxious.

One thing that helps me is trying to make my anxious thoughts seem as ridiculous as possible. I'll tell myself how I would simply move on even if such and such happened, which is highly unlikely. I recently had hypnotherapy and NLP (one session each) which has also made a difference.

I feel there is pressure post-pandemic to have all these goals and plans to constantly focus on. I read a great article recently which spoke about how people are giving up "girlboss expectations" and prioritising wellbeing instead. xx

You're definitely not alone in feeling like this Melina. I think since the return to faux-normality, introverts and homebodies have turned even further in themselves, I know I have. You're completely valid to feel the tiredness and burnout, we went through something really huge and rough! Thanks for being so open in this post x

I think there are plenty of people feeling this way. It has been a really awful time for everyone. Don’t feel bad about still feeling the burn out. I had covid a couple of months ago and I am still suffering. I just think it is an experience with covid and the pandemic that will continue to shape us all. Thank you for sharing this honest and open post.

Lauren.

This is seriously the most relatable post I've read in a while... I too feel an intense level of fatigue I haven't been able to shake off properly in the last few years. It felt so odd to me who was once the embodiment of energetic to be chasing afternoon naps like they are the only thing allowing me to get through the day and be productive.
A blood test did indicate I am low on vitamin D, which can cause fatigue, although I'm unsure that explains it all...
Anyways, I hope you don't feel alone in this. The pandemic did throw our lives off course and many of us are still doing what we can to pick up the pieces still.
