Tired of being tired

[cntrymom08466]

I'm not sure what I need anymore. I don't want to be depressed anymore. I don't want to need help. I know I may need some medication for the rest of my life to keep me from hurting myself or to keep me from trying to run my car into a tree for example. Right now I just don't want to deal with medication and changes. I know I am having some mood swings, (that could be hormones couldn't it? LOL) but I'm also tired after sleeping too its sucks! I just don't know where I need to be or where I should be anymore.

I guess this post didn't make much sense. I'm not against medicine. I've been on meds for years and thought I was getting off of a lot of it and now I guess you could say hit a speed bump in that my dad got sick and he's better but now I sleep but still tired and then mood swings it just stinks

Hey hun. I'm dealing with similar, my meds make me exhausted, and so I don't like to take them. Here's my suggestion: I'm assuming you have a female body since you mentioned hormones - I would look into seeing an OB/GYN to talk about hormones or mention the mood swings to your T and or med doctor. You could have some hormonal imbalances. I went on birth control and see a big differences in my moods. I'm still tired but that's life for me haha I don't have nearly has much ups and downs. Hope things get better dear!

Well when I started weening off of some of my meds in January they also added some birth control. It did better for a while, but I started having more trouble getting enough rest after my dad got sick. I think instead of trying more meds for awhile, I might just start trying to incorporate more exercise or at least try to for a walk in the evening and hope my allergies don't kick up.
