Just a Fading Star

Tired but not depressed.

Posted by fadingstar86 on 27 May, 2008

I wrote the last post a couple of days ago, even though it was posted yesterday and to be honest not much has changed. I spent the whole of my day off in bed sleeping, getting up around 5pm to get dressed and watch some tv then went back to sleep at 1am and slept through to 12 again. I’m constantly tired, and just feel drained and exhusted, I think it might be the anaemia that’s causing it though, I’m pretty sure at next check my blood levels will be below treatment line and I’ll have to start taking sodding iron tablets again. It was a nightmare last time and I ended up binning them as I knew how dangerous iron tablets could be in OD and had to throw them out before I did something. I don’t know whether I can have them in the house again or not.

I am not depressed though, I can’t be. I still get up, go to work, smile and talk to people there, although admittedly not with as much heart and enthusiasm as I did when I started the job. I still do it though. Even when I couldn’t get up and couldn’t do anything, spending days in my bed I wasn’t considered to be depressed, there’s nothing different this time. It’s just a lull. If I pray hard enough it’ll go away. Don’t even know who or what I am praying to anymore. It used to be God when I was younger but I get the feeling if there is a devil he probably started intercepting them and answering them in his own special way.

I am still going. There is no point asking for help as no-one will answer. It’s all down to experience. They will possibly ask me what I want “them” to do, a question I never have the answer to. I want things to be fixed or gone. No-one can do either apart from me. There are no magic wands.

  1. For most of nearly every day, interest or pleasure is markedly decreased in nearly all activities (noted by the patient or by others).
    Nearly every day the patient sleeps excessively, known as hypersomnia or not enough, known as insomnia.
    Nearly every day the person experiences extreme fatigue
    Nearly every day the patient feels worthless or inappropriately guilty. These feelings are not just about being depressed, they may be delusional
    Noted by the patient or by others, nearly every day the patient is indecisive or has trouble thinking or concentrating.
    The patient has had repeated thoughts about death (other than the fear of dying), suicide (with or without a plan) or has made a suicide attempt.

    Six symptoms of a major depressive episode. Not depressed, my ass, go get help.

  2. Hugs sweetheart. You sound pretty depressed to me. Do yourself a favour, throw out any unnecessary pills.
