Stuck in hypo land

I am hypothyroid. My patience for it is running out. I'm exhausted but I have a hard time sleeping. I'm moody, I have headaches and I feel like a zombie. I feel like my brain is so slow. I have to think for a long time about things before they make sense. The worst though is definitely the tiredness. No amount of sleep or caffeine makes me feel "awake".

This made me chuckle though:
