Caffeine isn’t working the way it used to -- you’re still tired and dragging through the day.  First it was two cups, then three. But now there’s no amount of caffeine that gets your brain going.

You're still exhausted, even after 8 hours of sleep.  If someone let you, you could spend the entire day in bed. Guiltily, sometimes you have. What’s worse? You still don’t feel better. 

You have constant cravings and eat sugary snacks and chips to fight off fatigue. You’re constantly looking for the next hit, the next boost -- chocolate, chips, candy. And this is messing with your ability to stay on track with diets.

Your life is a constant battle between being “on a diet” and “giving up and eating anything” (because...what’s the point of trying?)

You are trying, but failing, to keep up with your life. Critical tasks and relationship milestones fall through the cracks because you’re just too overwhelmed, and your memory can’t hold anything anymore.

Sleep is hit or miss, when you get it You’re up at 3am and can’t fall back asleep until minutes before your alarm clock goes off. Then your whole day is off -- memory, mood, work, energy, everything.
