Why Do I Have No Energy?

[JPhilip]

I've been having a problem for some time where I feel depressed and fatigued. If I try to workout or exercise, I either find myself exhausted within minutes or starting to panic. Therapists have told me that stress can cause fatigue of this sort, and although I deal with stress on a daily basis, I don't view it much more stress than the average human being has to deal with. Anyhow, I'm getting tired of feeling too weak or too tired to accomplish simple tasks, even things like cleaning the house or jogging down the street. I expected I would feel better after college finals were over and summer began, but I only seem to feel worse. I'm 19 years old and should be in the peak of my physical health, so this problem is distressing to me. I can hardly hang out with friends anymore because I just feel too exhausted to do any physical activity. I'm starting to lose muscle mass and gain weight, albeit almost imperceptibly, and it's very frustrating. Does anyone know what the cause of this could be? I would very much like to be able to do physical activity for fun again.

i would see your primary care physician and explain everything to them. They will most likely take some blood and run tests.

That's it - time for an annual physical! I'm 55 and when I recently had an attack of source including fatigue, of course, anxiety and depression were a first guess. I am currently awaiting approval of a needle biopsy just in case I have breast cancer.

I think you should change your diet.

If you go to dr and say your fine. Try changing your diet.

No process foods.

Anyways, people who do become vegan say they have more energy.
