So I just started an office job and it’s great, good benefits, no one treats me poorly. It’s good.

Except now I’m sitting a lot and I noticed that now I can’t walk long distances without my legs feeling tight, almost feels like shin splints and ankle pain. My legs are always heavy now.

So I’m freaking out over being “out of shape” I’m exhausted, I have anemia which was the reason for quitting my last job. I was getting sick, had panic attacks, my blood sugar was crashing. It was a terrible time.

Now I take iron and I’ve been getting better but the exhaustion is there. I’m scared to workout and pass out. I can’t walk as far as I used to, I took the day off due to exhaustion and I don’t know what to do now.

I wanna get back into shape but I worry about my anemia which was bad the last blood test I had. Dr made me start taking iron tablets. I don’t know if my blood is back to normal levels, but I fear the worst. I just got off my period so I’m weak right now.

I can’t drink coffee anymore, cut back on caffeine, and I have eat at certain times. Just the thought of screwing up my schedule to get up earlier to workout is worrying me that I’ll faint at the gym or have a heart attack. Or fall down due to weak legs. I get so stressed out planning, and worried about the worst that I just give up on working out. 

I know exercise will help me mentally and physically but I’m scared it’ll kill me and make me even more weak than I am
