Honestly I feel so lethargic. I had to gather enough energy just to write this. Depression comes and then it goes. Today I told my mom i didn’t want a manicure she got mad and said I’m being depressed again. Which I am but sometimes I don’t like how my family will care then the next minute throw it in my face. It’s almost like I can’t really tell anyone how I feel. Today I felt like dying but I can’t I must go on. Plus today I felt exhausted but I had to do Instacart with my mom since I damaged her car door and don’t have a job so she’s been making me go to work with her. I don’t mind bc. Did damage the door it wasn’t purposely but still. I just wanna know if others can relate because I feel like everything is a chore like even walking!

I'm sorry you are having this difficulty. Yes, depression can certainly cause a person to feel fatigued. Plus, if you're on psych med's, they can cause you to feel groggy & fatigued as well. I don't take anything anymore. But back when I did, I was typically only on a single antidepressant. Yet I always felt sort-of groggy & out of touch, so to speak. Plus I think when a person has the sort of difficulties with family members you describe, that can also add to one's depression, anxiety & lethargy.

Here are links to 4 articles, from PC's archives, that talk about how to handle the overwhelming fatigue of depression & find motivation. Perhaps some of the ideas in these articles can be of help:
