Totally feel like you've been run over et over again by a truck. And exhausted to pt. hard to get out of bed most days.

8. If I have not planned my entire day, sometimes hour by hour, I find that subconsciously I end up with a major mood swing, severe irritability with loud noises, ongoing conversations near me, but it's coming from the frustration of not feeling well and having so much to do at a snails pace.
