Feeling tired, exhausted, and FATIGUED all the time can be a common experience in those with persistent low mood. Regular everyday tasks and activities can be overwhelmingly hard to finish—or even start.
People report that a lack of energy and stamina means that it can be difficult to get out of bed and complete mundane tasks such as washing dishes or doing laundry.
Fatigue and apathy can go hand in hand: lack of energy coupled with an absence of motivation can increase feelings of indifference towards oneself or others.
Fatigue has mental consequences as well as physical ones. Being inactive and slow to move can have a physical effect on other areas, such as sleep, diet, and muscle health.
Mentally, feeling exhausted can compound negative feelings of self-worth and can increase loneliness and isolation as people struggle to get out and interact with their friends.
Outside help may be needed but eating a nutrient-rich diet can also help: protein-rich foods, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and ensuring a good water intake. And it’s very important to reduce sugar and processed foods which can slow the digestion and compound tiredness.
