I'm worn down & worn out. I got up this morning & wondered how long my legs would carry me. I took my morning shower, shaved & did all of that stuff. Then I took the dog for his morning walk. But it all just felt like a monumental task. I wondered how long I could keep going.

I don't really feel as though I'm any more depressed than usual. I always have this low-grade cloud of depression surrounding me, with suicidal thoughts lurking about in the background. I spend too much time telling myself I wish I would just die. But those thoughts & feelings are always with me
I could have written this. So I sympthize. I, also, woud get a check up. It could be a simple as a vitamin defiency. I'm worn out like you. I don't know how I manage to get to work everyday. Thank goodness it's and easy job. I'm pretty sure my fatigue is caused by my medications. I've been like this especially since they put me on a blood thinner. I work, come home and hit the couch until bedtime.

I am a woman and don't have the issues of being transgender. I did take hormone replacement therapy and it really helped, but when I had breast cancer they took me off of it. Of course, I was already so tired from chemo I didn't notice.

Maybe getting out and walking more would help, but if you're like me it's just more than you can handle right now. Getting older is not any fun, is it.

Hope your feel better soon.
