So tired

[Jorna]

Hi I'm so tired of fight everything it's so hard I feel like no one understands but the people on here. I just want to believe it will get better but I'm struggling everything takes so much effort. Why am I like this.

Hello Jorna, You do get tired, physical and mentally. It's your illness and the closer you get to wellness the harder the fight is. Hang on and make a big effort . You will get better. There are always new things to try or changes to make if what you are doing doesn't work. Everyone being different means we sometimes have to search for ourselves. What are you doing now to recover ?

Everything seem so much harder when you feel tired. I suffer from terrible fatigue too and it makes the easiest thing seem hard. When you feel tired are you able to take it easy or do you find you go at it even harder try to fight through it? Sometimes we just need to take it easy (or easier at least) when we are not firing on all cylinders although i know that can feel really frustrating.

I try sometimes to take it easy but sometimes I fight it nothing helps

[Haazbeen in reply to Jorna]

Yes I know just what you mean. Even when I take it easy I am beating myself up about taking it is easy or get my knickers in a twist I am not being productive. So my body may be taking it easy but not my mind and if you are like me it is a tired mind that is the problem and not a tired body.

Look for an activity that will divert you away from your Depression, even if it only works for a short period of time it will help

Be kind to yourself. You deserve happiness. It is very difficut for people who have not experienced severe depression to understand how to react and even some people who have had depression do not necessarily understand how another person feels, because we are all unique individuals. But there are lots of generous and warm hearted people out there who will offer friendship and support. Do what makes you happy and take care.

Good Morning Jorna, I found GPs not to be a lot of help because often they are either too busy, or lack interest or knowledge (although, of course, there are some excellent GPs). Finding the right specialist/consultant who has expert knowledge and more time to make the correct diagnosis and come up with a solution is, in my view, a better route. Never lose hope. There is always light in the darkness.

Hi. Keep us posted with how get on, I have appoitment on Thursday and dreading it as been really low then a bit better, then dark low, deep and feel what's the point and zero energy, but then have a mad energetic day, not right though at all. Been fighting for quite a while now, really do not want tablets but if I have to, to get me through the day then so be it, I even thought about tablets and bridge for a couple of weeks but come out of that now, just awful hon,
