Yes, it can get better. And I know what you mean by exhausted. I've lived it. Since my relapse in depression, I've only felt it one day but I was damn scared it was going to stay again.

Many years ago, I went through a severe depression with what they call somatic symptoms. Feeling tired, body aches, etc... My body was weak. The sensation of lifting your arms and the heaviness was unbearable.

I did recover but I must admit it took a very long time. I was off work for 2 years and worked part-time for another 2 years. During that time, I left my husband and I believe that's the real reason why I was able to fully recover.

Today, I have relapsed into depression. I have come to realize that my depressions are situational.

Anti-depressants help take the edge off as in reduce the severity of my symptoms. But in my case, the only way out is with Acceptance of Life's Challenges, taking it one day at a time and connecting with myself. I was a pro at living life in the fast lane and not feeling a thing. I used to repress every single emotion. No wonder I had a severe depression.

Today, I try to not repress anymore. Although, I'm feeling a bit numb for the last few days. Working on it! But I believe I will get better and beat depression once again.

Don't give up.
