> Jemma, I seem to have the low-energy, sleepy, eat-to-much symptoms in the daytime, and the anxiety, insomnia at night.
Tree,
Hi, actually, these symptoms are not that unusual, especially after an ordeal. In a simplified way, if your body is healing, you may not have enough energy to make melatonin to help you sleep at night, nor enough of happy-brain chemicals to keep you truly energized during the day.
I once saw a naturopath who treated these symptoms as adrenal exhaustion. (I cut out stimulants, rested more, and took a few safe supplements.)
Anyways, the body can really be a mystery at times, but at least you're getting a lot of clues. :D
Good luck,
books
