I feel just like you. I am so tired feeling all the time. I hate my life.

Be careful both of you. The less I do, the less I feel like doing. Take care of yourselves. Eat right and get up and move around and get some fresh air. Please take care.

I feel you. I have to force myself to do anything, but I do force myself, because I know if I don't, all my symptoms get worse. Sometimes though, it's good to sleep and rest and escape for a little while. Just make sure you come back:)
hugs

I have a lot of trouble with tiredness, and used to feel so alone with it until I joined this site. I sleep at least 10 hours a night, and have to spend a lot of time at home recuperating from the world out there. And just feeling tired a lot of the time.
I'm in pretty good spirits these days, having first broke down in '87. But the tiredness is something that stays with me. I can only work part time, if ever!
Hope this makes you feel less alone too!

I am also in the same boat. In fact, I recently went to see my doctor, hoping there would be a physical explanation rather than the PTSD/depression so that maybe there could be some simple cure. I am tired almost all the time. I work in an office sitting all day, then come home and lay down on the couch until bed. Many times I am so tired when I wake up for work that I literally CAN'T get up. And I will go back to sleep and go into work late or not at all that day. A lot of times, at work, I am so tired that I can barely keep my eyes open, let alone concentrate on anything.

So I hoped the dr could help me. He said it sounded like a thyroid problem (my mom has a thyroid problem and I also had gained a lot of weight). But my blood tests came back normal except for a vitamin D deficiency. He gave me a prescription for vitamin D but it has not helped really.

I am lucky that I have a govt job and can get away w/ taking off a lot of time from work. But I feel like it is impossible sometimes to carry on a job w/ this condition. I just keep pushing myself telling myself that I should be able to go to work like everyone else, especially when I have such a lax job and can basically get away w/ doing nothing all day. But also my job has been the cause of quite a few breakdowns. Today I was triggered a lot and am still dealing w/ that tonight. Not even sure I will go in tomorrow because I am so upset. I keep thinking about trying for disability but then I feel like I'm being weak and giving up if I do that. Why can't i just be normal and wake up everyday and go to work everyday and be fine like everyone else? Why does daily life have to be such a struggle? I'm so tired of living this way. I also hang on because there is a possibility of being able to work from home in the future and I figure if I stick around long enough for that, everything will be fine. I won't have to deal w/ the stress and triggers from people at work.

AgentSmith, Just wanted to say something to you. I know myself sometimes. It would drive me insane to have a job where I sat at a desk all day. I just have to be up and moving.
I have never had a job where I sat all day long. When I graduated from nursing school, I worked in a nursing home. I was on my feet most of the time. Then, I was a public health nurse, on the go all of the time. Then, I worked in a psychiatric hospital, on the go all of the time.
I once had a job where I had to sit at my desk all day. It was all I could do to stay awake.
We are not meant to do every job on the planet. Some people would love to sit at their desks all day. It would drive me insane.
