The 3pm thing is getting embarrassing honestly. I'm sitting at my desk and I just... go. Not asleep, just completely blank. Like someone pulled the plug. Started wondering if it was what I was eating at lunch so I've been paying more attention and I think there might be something in it. On the days I have something with proper protein at breakfast I seem to hold together longer. On the days I don't (toast, usually, or nothing because I'm running late) I'm a write-off by mid afternoon. Still working out whether it's the breakfast or something else entirely. GP next month and I want to bring this up properly, with actual examples, because last time I mentioned energy she just said 'well, you're 58' and I left feeling like an idiot. My weight has also shifted in the last 18 months in ways I can't fully explain and I want to talk about that too. Has anyone managed to get their doctor to take the afternoon crash thing seriously? What did you actually say to get heard? x
