@carrotbunny I am so glad you have posted and seen the responses from several of us. From my own experience, first is to try to get a complete physical workup, to help understand if anything is going on like hormone levels, or thyroid, etc. It's surprising how a slight unbalance can really have an effect on us!

You sound like you are very aware of how your situation is affecting your everyday life. "Baby steps", no big changes at any given time, have helped me. Sometimes it takes awhile to see a difference, but I had to keep plugging away at it. Making an effort to do something everyday that is enjoyable to you [even if it sounds wacky to others] might help. If the walking just seemed to make you more tired, perhaps breaking up that walking in to multiple sessions, slowing down, changing where you walk or time of day, will help?

I sincerely hope you will let me know what they say about your checkup that is coming up. You might want to contact your doctor's office and ask to be put on a cancellation list, and then there is a chance to get in earlier!

I know what you mean. Eat better, rest, do yoga...blah, blah, blah. I have done it all, and if you are basically healthy, I’m sure these things improve your health.
Who can think about a healthy diet when you can barely get out of bed??
Herbal tea is not going to fix me!

I believe my depression is because of prolonged health issues. But, as no doctor has been able to find anything to treat, doctors (many) all suggest SSRI, which don’t agree with me. I’m trying my 8th one now. So I’m dizzier, nauseated and even more constipated.

At some point it starts to feel pointless.
I try to keep some hope going but WOW it is hard!

I wish you all the best, and hope a treatment can be found to get you back to yourself again.
