Hello everyone!

I hope you're all doing great. For a number of years there have been a couple constants in my life. Constants like, I tend to skew towards depression, I'm constantly tired, and getting projects, like in college or now at work, is nearly impossible.

Let me walk you through my cycle: I build up every task in my mind to seem impossible. I don't complete it in time. I end up feeling embarrassed and frustrated. I can't help but think that I should do great work. Without a doubt I repeat this cycle again and again.

Recently I've wondered if my anxiety and depression are linked to my constant fatigue. I sleep in on the weekends and I still feel tired. While my peers and I have a 10 hour day at work I'm constantly more fatigued than others.

I'm completely new here and am looking to get a better understanding of myself and what I could do to improve my situation. Have you all been in a similar situation? What has helped you?

Hi. yes depression especailly can drain your energy. You don't say if you are on any medication but that can do it, too. If you haven't seen a psychiatrist yet, it might be a good idea.

As far as your work and school projects, I would suggest you take a pencil and paper and break the projects down into steps that are small enough you can handle. Do only one small step at a time and it won't be so overwhelming.

Hope this helps.
