Depression

[Lisa-]

Why do I feel exhausted all the time and just snap at people I feel like I don't want to speak or know anyone. Does anyone else get like this?

Yes Lisa it is very common. I used to get like this especially at work because it is so hard to concentrate, remember and maintain the 'face'. It used to get me so exhausted that all I wanted to do was sleep. The last thing I had any energy for was socialising. You are not alone. x

Thank you it's hard just feel I'm struggling and I'm not realising how nasty I'm being to people x

My friends said when I was working full time I changed and wasn't as nice as usual. Fortunately I am retired now and don't have to put the 'face' on any more. x

Hello Lisa

Those symptoms could be anything not related to depression although if you are depressed they are indications of depression

If your family is worried about your mood changes etc I would say that it sounds like you are suffering from a depressive illness. Even if you are not depressed I would advise you to find out what is wrong.

Go and see your GP and explain how you feel. If you know the causes that are changing your mood, write them down, so you remember your reasons and symptoms
