Am I right to feel like something is wrong?
This all started a few years ago. I thought it was just my depression acting up at first, but now I am not so sure.
I do have depression and am currently medicated. Honestly, my mental state has been perfectly fine but I still have these odd symptoms. I would feel a little crazy though if I went to the doctor and he said it was just normal for my age. I am mid 20s now.
These symptoms seem to happen on the same day (days). It isn't everyday but I feel this way multiple days a week now.
-Brain fog - I get spacey, a little confused, and "out of it" sometimes just out of nowhere
-Overall body pain - it mainly feels like my muscles, even when I don't do anything to cause such a pain. I also pull muscles easily. Just moving to get something the wrong way, I can pull a muscle in my chest or back.
-Shaky hands - I used to have steady hands, and some days I still do, but more frequently, I can't hold things steadily. I try to just use my camera to take a picture/video and unless I prop my hands on something to stop them from tremoring everything comes out blurry.
-Exhaustion - There are very few days that I wake up and actually feel well rested. It is like I am mentally awake and ready but my body wants to not get up, it just feels sore and tired. No matter how much sleep I allow myself, I still can't get past this. I used to be a morning person. I loved waking up super early and making everyone breakfast. I still have the want to do this and I can even lay awake early in the morning, but my body is just so sore and tired.
-All around energy - My energy comes in waves depending on my discomfort. On a good day though, I still feel weak. With low pain I can push through and get things done pretty easy but my energy still wears out pretty fast. I will go to work, come home and cook, do dishes, and maybe wash the clothes and then I am just done. My tank is empty. I quickly shower and am in bed shortly after.
On the few good days I have had recently I can go to work, come home and cook, dishes, wash and fold all the laundry, play with my son, stay up a little later to spend some time with my fiance, and even take a nice long shower to relax. One time a good day came on the weekend and we were out of the house at the park, family days, and much much more from 8 that morning til almost 6 that afternoon. A general weekend is just lounging around the house, maybe playing some games and watching movies. I hate that! But if I don't have it in me, I just don't have it in me.
I know mid 20s isn't a "fresh chicken" but I feel like I should be able to do more. I should be able to play with my son for more than 30 minutes and then having to rest for hours.
So, am I crazy or does it seem like something is actually wrong?
