I feel like the energy I ever had has been zapped right out of me, I'm constantly tired and even if I get a good sleep, I have no energy whatsoever. I feel like I could fall asleep and never wake up and I'd be at peace and I wouldn't need to feel concerned about my lack of motivation. Every day is a drag, school is just a chore as well as living, I can only ever have fun if someone makes me feel slightly better, but they don't know, as soon as I go home, as soon as I shut myself out from the world, that burst of energy is gone and I feel nothing but hurt.

Ahhhhhh. We're the same that way. Whenever I don't have meetings with people or classes I tend to just shut down and do nothing but sleep. A sort of "hibernation" if you will. On the weekends when I literally have nothing to get up for I can sleep for more than 12 hours and then even after I get up I don't feel like moving. I just lay in bed and try to avoid everyone. It's so hard when you feel as empty as a tin can. And it's a terrible thing when sleep becomes your escape.

I don't really have advice for you since I'm down in the dumps right now. But I will say that surround yourself with people as much as you can. Try not to oversleep because I can tell you first hand it doesn't solve any of your problems even if it makes you feel better for a short while. But if you get energy from people, take as much as you can grab. Feed off of theirs until you can begin to create your own again.

Best of luck and feel free to PM me

I experience the exact same thing as you do at the moment. i feel like talking is taking away the energy i have so i remain lockout in my room after school. i get irritated easily if i'm surrounded by too many people because i'm severely depressed. the only person i can handle talking to is my therapist. i also have headache all the time and chest pain.

Sounds like my depression. When it is at it's worst just getting out of bed is a sisyphean task. I am done with school and I work from home so I can set my own hours, which makes me lucky.

These days I also have a daughter, which in a way is fortunate because when I am so completely down that just existing is painful I can shut everything down and just let my mommy brain take over. Nothing gets done except the care of my child. But at least she is ok.

It sucks. It really, really sucks and I am so sorry you are in so much pain. And I don't know if it helps but you are not alone. And if all you managed to do for the day is breath in and out then I say count it as a victory. Because you are fighting an invisible enemy and sometimes it is just going to take all that you have. And that is ok.
