Constantly tired, why?

Someone help, I've been like this for a week now, I have a good sleep and then wake up and im back feeling drained, I did some yoga this morning and it literally drained me, I haven't had an appetite for nearly a week, I do eat bits but not enough but I drinking water everyday and green tea. It is because I've increased my meds or I am actually poorly 😔. I sick of feeling the way I do. All I seem to be doing is sitting in my bed, watching TV or just laying their listening to chilled out music or hypnosis on YouTube.

It could be from the meds. Since I have been on Lexapro it has made me more tired. It has increased my appetite though...

I've only increased them Thursday night. Its a horrible feeling, even while writing this my head hurts and I'm tired.

Hi there , how are you doing today? I had similar issues after initially starting my medication a few weeks ago. Lethargy, lack of appetite as in no hunger at all, annoying headaches, sleepiness. I was starting to wonder if it was worthwhile to take the medication. Glad to say most of those side affects seem to have worn off now. That’s great you did some yoga! 🙂 I am hoping to get back to exercise again too.

My humble apologies I shouldn't I have asked.

A therapist schooled in anxiety could help you with that. Anxiety makes people always tired. Many times if you get help from someone who's objective you can work on these problems and ditch the medication. I'm much lower on meds and hope to go off them after seeing a new therapist regularly. Are you seeing someone who can help you work through it or give you advice on how to lessen anxious thinking. It does come from our negative thoughts. I've always been a worrier and finally realized I need help

hi, there! I'd like to build an online coaching program specializing in lessening the problems that you're currently going through, feeling exhausted or tired and thus stressed. could you perhaps contribute to my survey? if you want of course ;) What are the hardest things or biggest issues for you, when you'd feel tired like this? And what would you wish for, if you could change anything in this situation? As for your current problems, if you say you had a good rest/sleep and still feel drained or tired, maybe it is a sign that your mind is put under alot of pressure, maybe from yourself even? expectations, pressure and living up to your ideals can drain your energy if it gets out of hand. your mind might be currently "stuck" or "forced" in a certain way. Try to relieve that force and free yourself from your pressure. Just "Be", without judgement. You might be able to breathe a little better. ;)
