I've had physical pain because of depression, especially my stomach, irritable bowels, aching muscles and joints, and I also have chronic fatigue syndrome so sometimes the two of them together make it horrible. I can't remember a day recently where I really felt good. And it's hard to tell sometimes which is causing which symptoms. I'm always tired, even with my CPAP on. I never get a good night's sleep, I never wake up refreshed, ever. I was told by a quack that it was all in my head and she wanted to send me to a psychiatrist. That's when we switched docs and they performed blood work and found out that I have Epstein-Barr virus, which is what causes chronic fatigue syndrome. All because I had mono when I was in elementary school. And to make it worse, chronic fatigue can cause depression. So I really don't know if the depression is separate or if it's a symptom as well. And, there's no cure for chronic fatigue or Epstein-Barr. I always feel some sense of malaise, and I know my family is tired of hearing about it. I can't tell you how many times they've told me that they'd for once like to hear that I'm having a good day and that I feel well. Well I'd love for that to happen as well.
