Exhausted

I am not doing as well as I would like. Right now I just want to hide under the covers and sleep for a week. Even simple tasks tire me out and I am having a really hard time explaining this to anyone in my life in a way that makes sense.

Right now I feel like momentum is the only thing keeping me going. I just needed to get that off my chest. It has been weighing me down for the last couple of weeks.

Hi....Is it time to switch up your meds? I only ask because they do have a lifespan....

I hear you about exhausting. I don't even get why....

Personally, I feel as if I'm slowly disappearing. I have faith that things will improve for both of us.

Hugs.

I'm the same. I'm also diagnosed with burn out syndrome (not even my first) and so far the only thing that helps slightly is a zinc supplement and antihistamines. Burn out can be caused by emotional stress just as much as work-related stress and even when there's no proven allergy certain allergy-like symptoms (tiredness, headaches..) can be relieved with antihistamines. Fexofenadine hydrochloride works fine for me. You'd think they'll make you drowsy but I actually doze less during the day since I've started taking it. I know everyone is different so you may not need it or benefit from it but just in case it ever comes in handy...As for the emotional exhaustion and "blah-ness", nothing works for me yet. I especially hate feeling like this in spring. Flowers, sun, birds, happy people...ugh...I get the part about not being able to explain this to anyone. I've given up trying and accepted that they probably see me as lazy, immature or something and cannot understand why I won't "get a grip" already. I think they've given up, I've been like this all my life and the never ending guilt trip is the worst. Perhaps do a zinc deficiency test, I was shocked at how low my levels were and am actually feeling a tad less lethargic. I hope something works, hugs

I got some test results back today and it turns out I'm anemic. Is it weird that this makes me happy? Compared to my depression this feels so straight forward. Take iron supplements= feeling better. It is nice not to feel crazy for a bit.

Well done, Curupira! Just because a person suffers from depression doesn't mean they can't suffer from something else, too.

All the best with the anemia. Treating it won't cure depression, but it may make it easier to manage.
