21 and I suffer with depression. I've had it almost my entire life.

I am always fatigued around the afternoon. It's absolutely annoying. I can't remember the last day I have had where I wasn't tired during the day and fell asleep and took a nap.

My thyroid is normal, B12, etc. It's probably depression-related.

How do you deal with this? How does anyone deal with this?

I felt hopeless again today. I felt like giving up again. I cope with it I guess through sleeping.

I hate this illness.

Well... I'm tired all of the time too. But I'm old. So it's to be expected, I guess. On the other hand, fatigue is something I think I've always battled. I've struggled with depression as well. But I think the high levels of anxiety I've always endured was, perhaps, even more wearing for me.

Here are links to some articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of how to cope with depression & fatigue. Hopefully some of the ideas in these articles can be of some help:
