The last dating event I tried was after work and it was exhausting for me. I might have connected slightly with a couple of people (maybe?), but I had to get out of there because I was so tired.

I struggle to do normal working hours, I don't have the stamina. I can't fathom how people working 38 hour weeks (or unpaid overtime) meet people.

EDIT: Currently off work :P Quit my job, best decision ever. Right now sitting in a chair in the sun, contemplating a nap.

    Okay, so a good friend of mine thought they were getting super burnt out at work. They'd come home fall asleep on the couch, skip dinner because they were sleeping. Fell behind in their marking (HS Teacher) to the point where the school asked her to take a personal day.

    Eventually they go to the doctor, turns out they had a ridiculously low haemoglobin count, i think brought on by low iron. The reason I say this is because if you're easily tired it could be a sign of a medical problem.

    Ty. All is good on the Hb front. Doctors sent me through a lot of tests a few years ago, including that one.

    Edit: Long story short, if (like me) you can't handle normal hours, and, the docs can't find anything wrong with you, then you get put in the 'chronic fatigue' category. This sentences you to a lifetime of random people suggesting you try homeopathic remedies :o
