I found eating a natural fooed diet, medication and a strong mindset to get better by exercise and meditation. I know that this is not easy when you are depressed having 2 bouts of very serious depression myself

Energy is my major issue with depression too. I'm on Modafinil 200mg now but it doesn't really seem to be doing much for me. Have you ever tried anything like that?

i totally hear ya!

I've been fighting this 'fight' for well over fifteen years now! and I'm f-ing exhausted all the time. but somehow i continue to have just enough to keep hanging on. and if i can, it leads me to think others can too, so hang in there!

Good quality sleep is important. A few years ago, I went in for a sleep study. Was diagnosed with apnea, and put on APAP. It helps. A lot.

I've been on a CPAP for the last 10 months and it does nothing for my energy. It makes me feel no different at all.
