Dysthymia has taken it's toll on me after a while. I always feel tired- even when I go to sleep early, I wake up exhausted. I am plagued by constant headaches, usually 4-6 days a week, with migraines every 5-6 months.

Today I woke up with the usual head pounding and aching knees. There are absolutely physical components to depression, and it's difficult to explain to someone who has not gone through it.
