Thanks, Purple Heart.
Because of my migraines, I have had A LOT of work done on me (EMGs, EEGs, MRIs, MRAs, lumbar puncture, liters of blood work, etc.), so there is nothing wrong with my body (perfect health--woot!). I am getting in with a therapist on the 27th of this month, so hopefully something comes of that. |

I don't think that I struggle with fatigue on a daily basis. However, I'm working through another bout of depression due to issues with Cptsd and boy do I feel it. It hurts in more ways than one, and I'm finding that I'm exhausted more easily and just very tired (mentally, physically, and emotionally). I was numbed out for weeks, but as the fog is starting to lift I can feel it more in my body now. I've always had neck and shoulder pain, and this episode has me wondering if that is because of muscle armoring over the years.

I don't struggle with it on a daily basis but yes often times I get really tired. I'm just mentally drained from everything that I've been through. It's stressful. Especially when I am triggered and constantly on edge. Sometimes I need alone time so I can recharge and just relax. Just need a break from people, not because I hate people but because I'm mentally exhausted. It's very emotionally draining all together. This is what some people don't get. Many times I remind myself that I am not crazy, I just am healing from all the abuse I've been through. I often suffer with headaches, backaches and my neck is stiff from stress. So I'm always gentle on myself and remember to always take care of myself.

I'm tired quite often, but I'm not sure if it's C-PTSD, depression, medication, or just not sleeping well. (I'm a bit of an insomniac with severe delayed sleep phase disorder) so who knows?
Most of my childhood and a good portion of my life up thru high school is a blank. Honestly, I'm a bit grateful for that -- I have enough fodder for flashbacks as it is. Starting at about age 34, my memory has gotten progressively worse, and I've lost even more details of things that have occurred since then - even of the good stuff. Sadly, memory specialists are really expensive and not covered by my insurance, so I'm just resigning myself to it. I can't say if that's due to effects of C-PTSD or something else. Either way, it wouldn't surprise me if C-PTSD was the cause of either of these things. |

I remember pretty much nothing but flashes and the beginnings of a lot of situations up until adulthood. Both of my marriages are pretty much a blank. In fact, I don't have a whole lot of solid formed memories until these last few years (I'm almost 50) during which I have had exactly ZERO abusers in my life, for the first time ever. So halfway through, I'm finally making coherent memories, lol!
I also have chronic fatigue but also depressed and have autoimmune condition that no dr has found a good treatment for as yet, so I spend a lot of time just sitting, which I know is unhealthy, but what can I do when everything hurts and I can barely lift my arm? *sigh* I can finally make memories, and I'm using them to keep track of my medications and doctor appointments, lol. |
