I could blame it on my disability. But it might not be that.
I could blame it on my depression. But it might not be that either.
But if I'm depressed because of my disability, maybe it is both.

All I know is that I'm so incredibly tired. Mentally, physically, EVERYTHING exhausted.

And I'm beyond annoyed that I can't blame it on one thing, or another. Because I really don't know.
Christina, for me the cause does matter because that directs what I do about it. Personal example, right now I am tired down to my bones. I know from other things that are going on it's my chronic fatigue acting up. That lets me know I need to be patient with myself and rest. If it was because I was sliding into depression I would know I needed to get myself busy to pull myself out of the slump, maybe call my pdoc if things were really bad. Does that makes sense?

By the way, thanks for posting this. I came here to post about how exhausted I am. It helped me to see I'm not alone.
