Tired / depressed

(1/4) > >>

Triton:
Hello dear All,

This might be a bit of a strange question to ask, but maybe I might just get helped out this way.

I've been struggling with physical tiredness for the last two years or so. Physically I don't seem to have any problem. I get enough sleep, eat healthy, exercise lightly and take quality vitamins. But I keep feeling extremely tired.

This is effecting my life in more ways than just the physical.

Now, the reason I'm writing about this here, is 'cause I've read several readers' posts here who said they suffered from depression. Did any of those who suffer or did suffer from depresssion also find that it was accompanied with tiredness? I'm trying to find the source of my problem and therefore this question here on the board.
Actually, I suspect I am to an extent, depressed. Don't really know how to deal with it. Just want to try and see if there is a relation between depression and tiredness.

I would appreciate any response.

Take care All
Paul

For me when depression shows its ugly self I am tired, I want to sleep to make it go away.
I do try and function as normal but it has to run its course, I don't know if this is the case for others though.

 I am sorry to hear about your plight with depression and being tired. My brother has Bipolar depression and I see him sleep when he is feeling depressed. I am not saying you have this terrible disease, but being tired can be associated with depression. You may need more sun light!! I work at a mental hospital and we try to get the patients out for sun and fresh air has much has possible and believe it or not they start to feel alot better. My husband and I try to get plenty of sun and it helps. we even got a sun lamp for days that are gloomy. You can also try  St. John's Wart it is a vitamin that helps with the tiny signs of depression. I am sorry I couldn't be more help.

Paul,
 I was mildly depressed for a while a few years ago.  It wasn't that I was tired so much.  I just had no desire to do .......do just about anything.......except maybe look at my T.V. and take many, many, naps.
However, I did know the source of my depression. 
I recommend that you spend some serious "alone time" with God and ask for His help.
It may not work out as fast as you want, but if you truly seek Him out, He will be there for you.

I pray for your peace and strength!
Matt

Bradigans:
Are you a believer, because you know God is a jealous God.

 - Exodus 34:14 - For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

i had that same problem years ago of putting my trust in physical health, fitness, and nutrition. Look at what Jesus says.

 - John 6:63 - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

It's amazing how much of a regimented slave i was. I started exhibiting the same signs you're exhibiting. i couldn't understand.

anyway, i stayed in THE WORD, and finally got delivered. It was a long weening process, i might add. I think i know exactly what you're talking about as far as the physical tiredness. I remember those physical exertions. They're something out of hell. You're in my prayers. This is a hard idol of the heart to overcome. But, with God's grace, made applicable by staying in THE WORD, nothing is too hard.

IN HIS LOVE
