I have Bipolar Disorder so I either have really low energy or really high energy, so I can understand how difficult it can be to have such low energy and have to do even the simplest of tasks. I've managed to help myself by getting some fresh air and walking. It helps shock my system into feeling a little more energized. Eating right also plays a big part.

There is no doubt depression can cause exhaustion; because that is how i feel right now. Though, i must say that i have also felt rundown with flu/cough/tonsilitus. The only way is to get as much sleep as possible, eat as well as possible; and get some fresh air.

I've found it plays a major part in my illness. On top of having depression, I'm also physically disabled. A lot of the time I feel useless because it's either one illness or the other limiting me from doing something.

Yes that's the worst part for exhausted all the time, had every test going as I was sure their is something else wrong with me, but nothing found.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member, ya, the fatigue was a life long battle for me...it always bothered me that others precieved it as lazyness...was one of the most debilitating aspects of the illness!
