Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
i had a blood test today. it will take about 5 days to get the results.
ive been so tired all the time and im starting to wonder whether there might be something more to this than depression. the first symptom that i had that told me there was something wrong was extreme tiredness. i couldnt cope at work because i had to sleep as soon as i came home and wouldnt wake up until it was time for work the next day. i started not coping with everything. that all started 2 1/2 years ago.
i feel so much better now. im not depressed or anxious all the time. sometimes i am but it passes. the tiredness thing is the one thing that has not gotten better. im supposed to start doing some work in 2 weeks time and this needs to be fixed. im hoping they find something so they can FIX IT!

good luck!
I, like you, wanted a "fixable" problem, and bizarre as it sounds I hope your tests throw up anaemia or a hormone imbalance, because there's a tablet for that. However, prepare yourself for the chance it could be all down to depression, and in much the same way that you wouldn't run on a broken ankle, don't stress your mind too much. If possible, try and take some rest days.
