Mental health has tanked suddenly due to aneamia RLS, exhaustion
I have been experienced exhaustion for a few months now but three weeks ago it got extreme, an incident at work where a collegue said to me I need professional help send me into a nervous system collapse and since then I've spiralled. After the incident I got my bloods done and it came back with ferritin 12. I realised I was experiencing RLS and since that incident it has been terrible, the week of the heatwave in uk was brutal, so I've got about 3 weeks of maybe 3 days of sleep of sleep within that. It's an exhahustion I have never experienced, crying every day, eyes in pain, I'm on 2 weeks sick leave however even though the exhaustion has subsided a bit my anxiety is through the roof now. I can get by when I'm alone okay. Tried to go for a walk yesterday and got really overwhelmed and had to come back. I am taking iron supplements but I also think I get anxiety from them, I've tried ferrous fumurate and iron biglycinate (I think this one has slightly less symptoms). School asked if I could come back to work this week but I literally feel like I would have a panic attack going back into that high sensory environment.
Before my collapse the white lights were triggering me, staff dynamics were more intense for my system. I have two weeks left of school and then 6 weeks off for summer holidays, I would love some hope and some advise on how to people navigated picking themselves back up, and success stories, and guidance.
