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.
Why does depression zapp all your energy? Why when you need energy to fight does it take everything, and why can you not sleep?
I hate this illness, i hate the tiredness. I am fed up with the pain and the questions that spin around my head.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
So exhaustion is normal, if this is the same for you perhaps trying to relax before bed is a good idea, make sure youve done some exercise in the day so your body is tired, and then have a warm bath and got to bed with a book or soft music.
Try not to dwell on your life or emotions.
Often when I am depressed I sleep with a light on usually a lamp and ith a film going quietly in the background, admittedly im passing out but at least im sleeping.
