What Causes Severe Fatigue And Inability To Focus?

Hi Dr. Rynne, I am a 25 year old female. I am 100% healthy I have no physical problems. I work 2 jobs as a Certified Nursing Assistant in two different nursing homes so I am constantly on my feet. I am also the mother to a 2 year old boy. Lately, pretty much out of the blue, I have been feeling extremely tired lately, unable to focus on any task at hand for over 5 minutes at a time, very impulsive doing things I would not usually do such as drinking (normal amounts like a glass or two of wine) during the morning hours, and very short tempered...Can you tell me what you think is going on with me? I have also felt incredibly numb lately to almost everything, very strange. Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query, I think I can help you and here is my advice.

By the look of the query, you are a busy person. You have been working hard probably, at your jobs. And taking care of a 2 year old baby is no simple task either.

Overall, I think you do not have any "ME time". You seem to have no time to think of yourself, your needs and your wishes. And this seems to be taking its toll.

I would really recommend you to spend half an hour to one hour with a hobby of your own. You can involve others, like your baby, in it eg playing music. I feel that this ME TIME itself will make you feel better. And I think it will help you do better at your job as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best wishes.
