Don't be afraid. I think the very fact that you recognize that you COULD be heading for trouble is positive, even though it is scary to be in the midst of it. That means that you will likely be more inclined and determined to take the necessary steps to avoid a long term shut down. But don't live in fear that you are heading for a melt down. This can be physically and emotionally exhausting in itself. Take positive action instead. I didn't do that. I ignored all the warning signs. When I did acknowledge the signs, I starting making plans to start my yoga classes, go back to the gym, eat better, and leave work at a decent hour and not bring a couple of hours of work home with me. I just didn't do anything soon enough. You have the opportunity to turn things around before they get really bad.
Make sure when you go to the doctor that you insist that everything is tested, including hormones, thyroid (and not just TSH), blood sugar levels, serum ferritin, vitamins/minerals,
etc.I wish you all the best. Be good to yourself.
