I am just so tired, I can't get moving. I don't really feel depressed, at least not as bad as it can get. I just feel numb. I don't feel anything, it just takes too much energy and I can't seem to find any. I know there is a lot to do and time is getting short, but I just can't get up. It's like I haven't slept in days when the truth is that I have been really good lately about going to bed at 10:30 every night. I was hoping that would help but it hasn't yet. I even took a nap today, and now I can't wait to go to bed. I haven't taken any meds that would make me drowsy, I just don't get it and it's getting me down. My 2 year old is up though and I feel like I can't leave her up with my husband. I know I can, he is capable of putting her to bed, I just don't want to burden him with her when she goes to bed so much better for me. I just want to sleep.

Steph,

Sounds like you are suffering from severe depression. There are meds that treat depression that don't make you sleepy. Maybe you should talk to your doctor, and let him/her know how hard things are for you right now.

Hugs,

EJ

Yes, perhaps you should talk to your doctor about this. Part of my depression was severe tiredness that I could not shake. It can really be very draining.

Hope you start to feel better really soon.

I am currently taking Wellbutrin 2 a day. I only take it once when I am feeling pretty good. It has never made me tired before. I also have Xanax for anxiety and those are take as needed. I haven't needed one in about a week. My Dr. says I can't get off of my meds permanently because I have a relapse every time I try.
