Very tired

[Lynseyhot]

I am really tired no energy does any one have this when you have depression

[MAS_Nurse]

Oh yes you are not alone. Can you rest?

[Hidden]

Yes and it is one of the common symptoms of depression. It is very hard trying to do anything and all you want to do is rest. x

[joeyawesomo]

Absolutely! Psychically and Mentally!

[Suzie40]

Oh yes! I get totally wiped out!

[Cur40164512]

Yes

[tofler]

Yes, I often feel completely exhausted as well. It's frustrating because when I get too tired to keep myself busy, this makes my depression worse due to the lack of activity.

I feel for you, I am the same even though mine is bipolar. This week has been none stop crying..no motivation and tired. Even taking my dog out its such a big issue but I did it, but still feel low.

Absolutely. Goes hand in hand with depression and can be a diminision spiral if you don't try to break it. When I get depressed I drink more and eat more and do less exercise. I then feel worse about myself get more depressed and so on. I then have no motivation to do anything and the less I do the more tired I feel. Many depression sufferers have broken sleep waking at 4 or 5 Am and then lie there worrying. I frequently do this and sometimes wake up in pools of sweat. This is how I deal with it and it helps but your situation may be different and you may not be able to do this.

if I wake up early instead of lying there I will get up even if it's 3 o'clock. Lying there stressing is bad for me. I will make myself do as many things as I can that are on my todo list (I don't keep one but it's easy to find things to do). Often I am too depressed to do more than one but one is better than nothing. If I'm tired after that and think I will be able to sleep again I will go back to bed. If I can't sleep quickly I get up and try to do things.

It's ok to sleep in the day if you get the opportunity, you need to try and get a good amount of sleep but not too much. My daughter suffers from depression and she can sleep for England and if I let her she gets more depressed.

I'm not a tree hugger but there is something nice about walking through a park or forest and seeing the changes through the year. An occasional walk is fine for me while the environmant is changing but after the leaves have fallen I get more depressed and walking stops having a positive effect for me and I want to hibernate. Or at least I did until at the age of 50 I discovered snowboarding. Now I have something to look forward to in the winter.

My depression is not clinical it's based around the things going on in my life, family issues, job worries, health, etc. I now this because I travel a lot for work and when I'm away I'm happy. Do you have the possibility of staying away for a night or two to see what affect this has?

I could go on forever but I think the point is to try and break the cycle and you should try get active if you are not already. I have no medical background so this is just based on my experience and what I articles I have read.
