GP appointment in two weeks and I keep second-guessing what to actually tell her. Like I know things are bad but when I'm sitting in that room I always end up saying 'yeah I'm a bit tired' and walking out with nothing. So I've started writing stuff down this month. Proper notes. Which days were heavy, which days I basically couldn't function at work, whether I needed to leave early or cancel things. Trying to put actual words around what 'exhausted' means in practice because I think that's where I always fall down. Did anyone else do this before an appointment? What did you actually track that turned out to be useful? I'm doing a rough cycle calendar and jotting down energy levels but I don't know if I'm missing something obvious. Also wondering whether to push for iron bloods given how wiped out I've been feeling. Any advice from people who've actually managed to get their GP to take this seriously would be brilliant. I'm 41 and I refuse to leave that room with a leaflet about sleep hygiene again 😩
