Hi there,
First of all, I'm new to this site and to this forum, though I am excited to have found it.

My question is: Does anybody here experience intense and chronic fatigue all the time? At first I was diagnosed with BP, now it's schizoaffective disorder with bipolar depression. I get fatigued on a daily basis, though sometimes it passes and I feel fine, only to have it inevitably return the next day. I am curious if BPers suffer from this terrible exhaustion too ... or if this symptom is related to my 2nd diagnosis, the schizoaffective disorder...?

My pdoc has no idea what is causing my fatigue, which I've had for years. She thinks it may be a symptom of the schizo part of my diagnosis, but I'm not sure if that's true or not. With meds, I don't experience hallucinations or anything, though sometimes I have delusional thinking.

Please tell me if you do have really bad fatigue. I feel so alone with this symptom!
