Something’s not right

Tiredness

Tiredness

Hey Everyone, I know this isn’t a place for me to seek medical advice but I guess I’m just seeing if anyone has had similar experiences. I have depression (high functioning if it makes a difference) and I am also someone who is constantly exhausted. Like to the point that I can fall asleep anytime anywhere and often have struggles staying awake in class at uni and at work. I have some other health issues (like low iron) that I have started to sort out and while I feel slightly better I still can’t really move past this exhaustion. Could this be something to do with my depression? Just want to know if this is worth exploring in a mental health instead of physical health sense.

Re: Tiredness

Well sounds like something to try @tyme, guess it’s just trial and error to find something that works!

Yeah, it's a bit like that sometimes - trial and error @Tarmac_6

Re: Tiredness

Arghhh..uni work. It's constant. I think I'm sick of assignments. I've got one I have to work on tonight after I clock off here @Tarmac_6

I remember with uni, as soon as one assigment was over, there would be the pressure of the next... until you finally finish your degree lol.

I've had one course I've enjoyed at uni.. the rest I did it for the sake of it.
