Lately I've been really tired, and people have commented on it. My mum wants to bring me to the doctor. I've been getting loads of homework, and I would blame it on that but it's midterm and it's gotten worse. I am getting enough sleep.
I've started taking berocca in the morning but it does nothing. On Saturday I got up at 11, ate breakfast, took a berocca, went to grinds. At 2 o clock I came back from grinds and collapsed on my bed. I literally couldn't do anything.
Sometimes I just feel like I don't even have the energy to think. And I don't fall asleep easily, which is weird.
I don't think it's my lifestyle, seeing as I'm taking it easy lately. I feel emotionally drained because of it, it's awful. I don't think I'm anaemic either. I got a blood test a while ago and my haemoglobin count was high, and I haven't changed my diet so it shouldn't have changed.
I don't know what to do :/ Is there anything I could take? anything I could do?

With you saying your not anaemic then this may not apply, I'm not sure. But when I was feeling like this (pre-eating disorder), it turned out to be a vitamin B12 defficiency. Because of this my body wasn't absorbing the iron that I was eating. You could try buying a supplement, if you don't need it then it wont harm you. Or increasing foods rich in both B12 and Iron - such as fish, cheese, eggs, breakfast cereast, some plain yogurts.
It can't hurt right! If you mention it to your doctor they can test for it but if you are low they will probably just give you the same painful injections they gave me.

Same problems with me!! It could be that you aren't eating enough food, or bad foods, or just not the right foods.

Yea could be sleep, not eating right, stress - The list goes on.

Best to go and see the doctor, as he can go more in depth and possibly order some tests, which can help he/she know what is causing it.
