Cheri,

I'm sorry I have no advice, but i can tell you that you are not alone with the way you feel.

I live my every day life like you mentioned, I am tired and exahausted every day, and I must carry a frown on face every where I go, because I am always told, don't look so sad it's not that bad, or it will get better. Well if they walked in my shoes for one day, they would know it doesn't get better...

I wonder myself if my lack of energy and feeling so tired all the time is due to being depressed.  Or is it some underlying health problem?  When I think it may be a health problem I start worrying that I have this or I have that.  Heck, I do that anyhow..everyday I have a new form of cancer or something. :(    I just do not have the energy I used to... I don't even talk to people as much or smile.  I don't feel like myself.  I am not liking it one bit. :(   Sigh*
