Hey, I think there IS a scientific explanation to this. I happened to find out about a book that I started to read (but never finished!) that explained how the chemicals in our brains form a 'downward spiral'. For instance, one part of your brain is affected by something and then produces less (or more) of a neurotransmitter, which then affects other parts of your brain about totally different things. Pretty fascinating how the brain works, if you think about it. Anyways, the book also suggested how to turn the downward spiral into an upward one, based on neuroscience. It's called 'The upward spiral' (I think). I am not affiliated with the author in any way, just sharing my review with you!

On another note, sleep is 1) pretty awesome, 2) still a mystery to scientists and 3) a gift!

"I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me" (Psalm 3:5)

What an awesome story! And so brave of you both taking off into the unknown. I love it! It seems like you all have really hustled to be in the situation that you’re in today and that’s awesome.

Hi there, what you have just described could be one of the symptoms for depression. I'm not a doctor but vividly remembered I came across some writings on the internet that list a few things to look out for if you have low mood or energy.

Are you open to talking to a counsellor or therapist about your situation? Worth considering talking to one if the low mood or energy is affecting your lifestyle. Hope this helps. Praying for you. God bless!

I have a counselor I see for my Eating disorder, but I am a little behind with payments because my insurance doesn't pay until I hit my deductible, and my deductible is high. She says she doesn't care, but I am the type of person that it bothers me if I cant pay someone back. I was thinking today about messaging her, just to ask if I can still be seen. She has suggested I do an outpatient program, but I am a little nervous with work. I know its illegal for work to fire you with something like that, I am scared of the stigma. I am slowing accepting it myself.

I set up a personal appointment to have routine blood work. I am requesting an Iron panel as well as a thyroid panel done.

I take Prozac for Depression, I am currently at a dose of 80 mg, and Prozac is the only thing that has been found to help. When I am good about my medication the depression settles a bit, but I have anxiety that surfaces at the most inconvenient of times. I don't know how to control that.

i have major depression. I was sleeping a lot too. I feel very tried all day.
