Hello BlueMerleGirl: Well... I'm an older person. So that accounts for at least some of my current tiredness. But feeling tired, dragged out & lethargic most of the time is something I've struggled with for many years. I never did figure of what was causing it. Even antidepressants, which I was told would perk me up, just made me groggy. I do remember, many many years ago, when I was a teenager, a doctor said I had low thyroid levels. He put me on some kind of medication. But it knocked me out. So my parents took me off of it & threw the pills away.

They tell us that depression is a matter of imbalances in neurochemicals in the brain. So, from that perspective, one doesn't need a reason to be depressed any more than one would need a "reason" to have any other illness. Perhaps the same physical conditions that cause a person to develop depression also contribute to one's feeling tired all the time. I think all you can probably do is to continue to work with your doctors in an effort to figure out what, if anything, can be done to remediate your exhaustion. Hopefully as your daughter gets a bit older, that may help too. I wish you well...
