Ugh. Ive been having so much trouble with lack of energy and my blue moods. Its 10:48am and I just got out of bed. well technically im still in bed but awake and drinking my coffee. I have absolutely no energy. I just want to roll over and go back to sleep but I have 3 kids so I cant. (they're all still sleeping, I have good sleepers!!) I am very thankful that its summer time and I can sleep in.. during the school year its very hard for me to get up with my kids and get them to school but I do, and it takes everything I have in me to do so because we have to get up so early! this morning I wake up and go get my coffee and the trash can is full and I just say to myself "i not ready to do this today" I have no energy at all and I just don't feel well. this is every single morning. it takes ALOT for me to get going. I constantly clean do the dishes do the laundry cook.. my husband works all day and when he comes home he is useless, I literally do everything from morning until night. but I need a push. a pick me up. something!! I have horrible anxiety so the caffeine and coffee that I NEED to get me up and going can make it horrible at times. other times I am ok surprisingly. I have two therapists coming to my home twice a week for talk therapy. I have anxiety depressive panic and post traumatic stress disorders, so I guess a combination of everything does make my depression worse, but to me, I just want to be happier, bubblier, and have more energy. if anyone as any tips PLEASE share!!!!!!!! TIA

Hi Lacey,

I find walking helps me. Or some exercise, by that I mean dancing to a little to music. When I do these things I get more energy. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I do take Adderall to help, or else I wouldn't get out of bed. Though it is very hard to get a doctor to prescribe it to people. I think I am adhd too also to a point, so it helps with that too.

Though I still need to do things to get enough energy to get through the day. Coffee is my best friend.

Try to do just five or ten minutes walking and see if it helps. I hope it does...

Music that is upbeat helps too.

Hugs, Karen...

Wow therapists that come to your house! Awesome. Where did you find them!

I travel 40min to mine.

anyway, ask them about coping skills. I use music, gardening, art, crocheting and reading.

Peace and strength

Coffee and music is my best friend as well. although the coffee brings out the horrible anxiety and heart palpitations, at the same time I NEED to get things done. its so frustrating and I feel like throwing my arms up and giving up a lot of the times because it all seems so overwhelming having so much to do and not having any energy what so ever to do it. its a wonder how I have a big clean house everyday. I don't know how I do it., its very hard and takes everything out of me.

the therapists are through a program that I am involved with because my son has torticollis of the neck and that's when I was introduced to in home physical therapy treatment for him, and they know my history as well and told me they could get me in as well for in home therapy to help me cope with my disorders.

they are sending me for a psych eval in a few weeks which will be the first time ever surprisingly for me and providing me with transportation as well for that. they have been a HUGE help which takes so much stress away from me! I get so stressed and anxiety is bad when I have to be somewhere and on top of that driving is not my friend.\-:
