Beta Thalassemia anemia and Ice Cravings?

Several years ago my Dr discovered I have Beta Thallassemia trait after several of my blood tests showed i am anemic, even after taking several iron suppliments daily for over a month. Strangly, I still showed up as being anemic.
It's my understanding that my blood cells only appear to look anemic, but since they're irregular, I'm not anemic.

My question is How do I get over my anemic symptoms? Recently I've been eating trays of ice cubes, like they are breaths of air, I just cant stop! What causes this? Also, I've just been feeling so lazy lately, absolutily exhausted after doing the smallest tasks. I'm only 40 yrs old, and am in otherwise very good health. All my tests come back as normal, except for my blood anemia tests. What's wrong with me? What can I do to feel better?

Sometimes there is a real symptom you get that is associated with having tests done due to the stress and constant thinking about it.
Say you are going in for more blood tests because your previous test showed something abnormal going on with your kidneys, but not certain.
Well since you dont really know all the symptoms of what you would have if your kidneys were bad, your mind guesses and mixes that with the little you do know of the symptoms and they begin to appear.
Say all you know about kidneys is they are sort of in your lower back and somewhere you heard that people with bad kidneys were thirsty all of the time,You could easily start having lower back pains and start drinking gallons of water due to this symptom guessing syndrome that we all do.
Just think about how you know if a finger is broken. You have heard somewhere that if it doesnt move it is broken. Well, that is not true. We have all kinds of these false facts that pop out of our memory when we have a possible illness or change in our physical body.
Some people hurt when their spouse is sick. Men feel sick when their wife is pregnant. E.T.C.
What you can do is make a list of things that are true, that do make people feel better and energetic.
Eating well
physical activity
sleeping good
relaxing
not stressing
not being angry
Try not to make obstacles into excuses. When I feel I have no energy, I go run. When I feel tired, I work on my sleep patterns. Then I feed myself according to my activity level not whatever I want.
Sometimes I am exhausted just because there is nothing to do. I can't even get up to clean the dishes, then the phone rings and It is a friend I havent heard from for awhile and I don't feel tired anymore. What is that?
I truly believe that anything we don't feel 100% of the time, isn't there. It is something we use to justify our behaviour to ourselves.
