As a long time sufferer I get this also from time to time even when my meds are working well. If the depressed spell continues (at least for me) then I know my meds need to be adjusted or changed.

I woke up this morning feeling the exact same way. Like my Chronic depression was comming back. I know it's difficult.

Try to get some rest, maybe see if you can get down a cup of coffee and some fruit or something (take your meds of course) then try to relax and maybe sleep it off if you can.

If it continues more than a few days really bad like that, then call your Psych doc next week and tell him you need an emergency visit because something is wrong with your meds.

Stay away from alcohol as this will only aggrivate the depression worse at this time.

I hope we both feel better soon. I have work on Monday and I can't fuction in a funk like this either.

You just gotta love this damn disease. It never knows when to quit.

Michelle do you have family or friends who can give you support?  Getting out for a walk and a talk may be helpful. Is there a hotline number in your country that you can call to talk to someone?

Hi Michelle,
   I read your bio. With all the medical conditions I can see why you can be tired. I to have medical issues with my depression. I think of my energy as like money in a bank. Some days I only have so much to spend. When it is gone its gone. This way I am not so hard on myself. Fighting depression and tiredness only makes you more tired and depressed.

   For me getting exercise when I am up for it helps and eating well. My psychiatrist has an interesting idea for me to get no more than 7 hours. He feels more sleep than that leads to my depression.

   Medicine for migraines makes me tired so I do not get down on myself for being tired when I have to take it.

    I journal when I am depressed that seems to help. I also reach out to others.

    I am sorry you are in the dumps. Sending you some of my positive energy. take care.
