I am not depressed but I have days when I simply don't wish to get out of bed and only do so to feed my cat, in only work 4 months a year.
The days when I don't work I struggle to get out of bed, then I feel bad for my laziness.
in short, is this laziness or depression.
It causes me distress as I wish I could jump out of bed and have motivation.
I do have things to do, I have hobbies, I volunteer at 2 places and always pop in on a neighbour.
I also have to take care an elderly parent.
my doctor says I am not depressed, and I don't fancy taking AD, but he did say that I could give them a try.
Anyone else relate?
Could be fibrobyalgia light depression of both they tend to merge into eatch other. I Have endured depsssion and GAD for many years however it use to take me months/weeks for me to regain back my energy after the depression went away. the point im getting to is that i have recently after at least 15 years of being treated with depression changed doctors and went to my doctors complaining of the same fateigue and and sore spots and mucle pains he imediately sent me for a whole bunch of blood tests in the mean time he tried me on various painkillers none worked but the tramadol. so he has sent me to the mental health team who also have a division that specialize in mucscle and joint problems especially MF.
Take it easy. If i had to guess id say you have a very mild depression which triggers a stronger fibriomyalgia which is nothing tho be ashamed of
once you can get a diagnosis you can make a plan to avoid it happening again
