Iâm so sorry. Iâm going through something similar and donât really know what to suggest other than some kind of project to work on. If you have the energy or ability on top of essentials that is. Which is⌠a bit optimistic. When itâs this bad I donât bother that much about things like putting clothes away. If theyâre casual or home clothes you can just pull clean ones out of the basket. The eating situation is different for me but perhaps things like a bbq chook with coleslaw and bread rolls could hold you for a few days with minimum mess and effort. Tuna and rice is another good one - if it needs to be tastier than plain there was a video where someone dumped a flavoured tin into rice then crumbled in nori and mixed in sauces like chilli and mayonaise. Ensure or muesli bars is another idea to help. Peanut butter on whole wheat (I think thatâs wholemeal in Australia) is a complete protein. Fried eggs on toast are a classic and those chunky soups can be a meal. You could even have a plate of random cheese, crackers and raw veg. Ginger ale and crackers are good for nausea. Dry shampoo is expensive but you can use sprinkled cornflour or baby powder instead if youâre leaving the house or just clip it up. Another thing that helps is to sit on the floor of the shower while it runs and watch/listen to a video on your phone while you wash your hair and brush your teeth. I would recommend the kids 3-in-1 but honestly that conditioner residue makes hair greasy again fast. The thoughts, I really donât know what to do about them except keep your mind busy with something. And have one small thing you can look forward to each day if you can. Iâm not even going to suggest medication because itâs none of my business and they donât work for everyone. You may well have tried it all. Itâs not just you - things are really hard. Youâre probably burned out. Go easy on yourself and kind of just slowly do your best in sloth mode.

Thanks Melba. They are helpful reminders. I am on meds and have a good doctor. Need to find better iron tablets because the ones I was taking were making me sick. I have written âsloth modeâ in my journal as my may motto

Or low power mode. You know like battery saver mode
Iâd recommend an iron infusion but⌠looks awkwardly at the last however many weeks

Have you tried maltofer?
