A question on a friends FB page; what's your way of saying but not saying you're ill?

Mine has become I'm sorry I can't do it. I'm just too tired.

I am impossibly tired.

Went to the meeting last night. Then came back and played the game with the others. Slept well. Still exhausted beyond measure.

I guess this is not helped by my sense of work that may be neither improving, nor bringing about improvement. But that could be fatigue talking.

Maybe I should take another test, but I have no symptoms apart from this exhaustion.

Last night had its moment; I crossed through the little area of water and woodland to get into town, at twilight, marvelling at how lovely it all was, only to spot a man walking alone behind me. I began walking fast, by the time I reached town he had nearly caught up. Probably nothing, but...

I hate that I can't enjoy a twilight walk through the woods. I hate the fact that my husband and my mother are right not to want me to wander the hills alone.

God, I am going to have to get out of this mood sharpish! Stuff to do today...

Exhaustion is a symptom in many illnesses besides IT—like Epstein-Barr virus-caused illnesses, the best known of which is mononucleosis. I think it's a herpes virus? Anyway, you could get tested for that, but, of course, there's no specific treatment for mononucleosis, so why bother?

I'm sorry you had to get scared by that man following you.

The same thing happened to me last summer on one of my favorite hiking trails. The trail is quite deserted, and I realized, I cannot keep hiking this trail alone, and it mademe really sad.
