I Have Major Depressive Disorder

I don't know why, but these days, I am always so tired. I pass out early, I have trouble getting up, I feel exhausted during the day... and sometimes I nap in the afternoon. I know I have a lot of stress in my life, I've suffered a lot of abuse from my last relationship... and I am alone a lot when I am at home (I live by myself). I'm depressed a lot lately, bad things have been happening in my life, and in the world.

I don't know what to do about it, some days it's not so bad, but others...

At least I'm good at hiding it from people around me.

could be thyroid or could be low testosterone, see a doctor and get some tests done to find out for sure.

@xSharp I wish I could, but I can't afford my co-pay or to take time off to go :\

@MrMolderburry your health tends to go down if u don't take care of yourself, usually further running up expenses.

@MrMolderburry there are many natural remedies, even some that actually help, the least you can do for yourself is take a serious look at your diet and perhaps remove some of the more processed, more hormone screwing chemicals and ingredients in them.

i hope your situation improves

@destinyfabulous thats right! an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. :)

@destinyfabulous I understand, but right now I can't take any time off...

@xSharp I have no idea where to start with figuring out my diet. I hope it does too, I'm hoping that I can work out some time off in a few months though.

@MrMolderburry a doctor at a clinic could be able to tell you or you could search online, thats what i do usually.

@xSharp Okay, I will see what I can do. At the least, hopefully web searches will help.
