How to know if I really need rest or I am lazy due to the depression

[Rose456]

When I am really down I loose the feeling for my body. I try to stress myself to do things but it is next to impossible for me to find out if I need rest or if I am just so low and therefore unable to do much. And then, of course, I feel bad because so many other people are working so much while my output is so extremely low. Any comments on this?

I feel exactly the same. There's so much I want to do but don't do it. The frustration is immense! I just feel like I can't move. Part of me wants to but the other part of me feels like a massive weight that pins me down. I feel so tired that I just want to put my head down and go to sleep for a really long time in the hope I will wake up with loads of energy!!!!!

Sorry you are feeling this way. It can be a struggle. Have you spoken to your doctor about it? I feel sluggish sometimes when eating certain foods they may lack nutrition. I tried to replenish myself with a multi-vitamin on those days. Hope you feel better soon.
