I can relate. I'm starting therapy tomorrow for degenerative disk disease and chronic vertigo and the medicine I am on causes ridiculous fatigue. All I can say is that we both deserve time to rest and relax and do not allow yourself to feel guilty about that.

Agreed - there's such a fine line when you're depressed between knowing when you're body is telling you that you need a break and when, well, you're just down. Meds can make it even harder - then we get very down on ourselves for not being something more. And that only encourages a downward spiral of self-defeating thoughts.

Take it one day at a time. Let yourself rest, don't beat yourself up. Talk to your doc about your meds. If they make you feel like crap then something probably needs to be changed.

it's friday...and I still don't feel well...

my house is a mess, my desk is a mess, my whole f'ing life IS A MESS...and

I JUST DON'T FEEL WELL...i feel sick...but I don't know why or what is sick about me...

UGH!...I just continue to feel like crap...day in and day out!

guess I'll go make me a sandwich and watch some tv...that's all I can muster the energy to do right now...although later I have to get ready to go to an open share meeting...don't know where I am going to get the energy to do that!!!! but I have to do it!!!!!

Bleurgh, don't you just love the catch 22 situations

I hope that you feel better soon and that the medications start to work effectively
*gentle hugs*

Wow either or!
Sounds like you have such a wonderful choice. The only ting I ca think of is go with what makes you feel less crap or you can see if there is another med out there that helps with the crap feeling as well.
Best of luck

yep,guess thats what depression will do,I can relate,hope you feel better soon.keep on keepin on.

Gosh! I hate to hear that anyone feels like I do. I have no motivation and what I do I have my "mask' on. I would not know what it was like not to feel good about myself.

Hello
perhaps you make yourself too dependable on the good moments of life to feel motivation and to have positivity within yourself
well unfortunately as Im sure you already know
life puts a lotta barriers to block us from having the positivity and motivation to change a bad situation to the best one possible

motivation and positivity is all about building
little by little , you can make these two things solid and strong
but youll have to fight
agaisnt the things that keep you from reaching these two things

saw a little about you
and Im deeply sad for all the problems you have
certainly youve been through a lotta bad moments
but you cant keep rolling down the same road
you gotta take a new one
but it wont be easy of course

start with motivation and positivity
itll not only encourage you to change things and change yourself
but also open up your vision to the solutions you may have been searching for a long time but with dismotivation and negativity
thats why you couldnt find them .

its a battle that only you can fight
take care
and I really hope you get better
not temporarily but long lasting !

I don't know if this will help at all, but I have to take medications as well. I have 2 of the same things Kuno has, and I know what medications can do to us. Have you tried taking your meds with food? Another trick I have learned is to take my medications just before I go to bed, that way I don't realize they are making me nauseated. I hope one or both of those help you. I know that sick to your stomach feeling, it's awful. I had it on a recent med that I made them take me off of. Good luck to you hon.
