Hello tokiwartooth: I hear you on this. I also struggle with fatigue. I'm an older person now & that's part of it. But I'd have to say that fatigue has always been something I've struggled with. I've always run on my nerves & it takes a toll on the body. It's possible you're not getting enough "quality" sleep. There was an interesting article in our local newspaper a few days ago. It talked about how it's not enough to just sleep. One needs to get down into those deeper levels of sleep where the body has an opportunity to regenerate itself. Of course, it's one thing to say that, it's something else to make it happen. But, perhaps you might consider looking into ways in which you could enhance your sleep experience.

Beyond that, I don't know. It's tough when you don't have money to do anything. Almost everything costs money. For reasons I won't get into, I've made a commitment to myself not to spend any money on myself that I don't need to spend. So I also find that I don't have allot going on most of the time. This is part of the reason I send so much time here on PC. I'm also a home bread baker. So I do quite a bit of that. Plus I have a dog who has to be walked every day. So, from my perspective, I think possibly the best you can do, under your present circumstances, is to look around & see if there are some very low cost, or no cost, things you could do around home & then see if you can motivate yourself to do them long enough that they begin to become a habit. Along with that, are you familiar with the "Snap Club" concept? PsychCentral member "Vital" posted a detailed & informative thread with regard to this a while back. You could, no doubt, find it by searching through his listing of posted Threads.
