Feeling tired & helpless from my depression

Yes I have these symptoms too. I get very anxious and uptight when I have to do something. I have multiple sclerosis and depression and I'm miserable. Depression is an understatement. I'm trying to figure out ways to calm myself down. The fatigue I think is what gets me the most. I feel very overwhelmed with everything I have to do. I try to either color or play on my iPad to keep my mind off things. I had a very traumatic experience with an ex who won't leave me alone and it has been going on for ten years, something I'm sure is the trigger of my symptoms. I'm trying to take things in small steps. Anxiety and fatigue make my situation worse! Can you think of anything you enjoy doing?

It seems as though all I do is get on my phone on Facebook or look at emails. Sometimes I feel addicted to my phone. I bought a coloring book but haven't used it yet. I do have extreme pain in my neck & left arm also in my back. I got off of oxycodone last year cold turkey. I was totally dependent on it. At first my pain seemed better but now it's back with a vengeance. I don't want to take narcotics again. It was miserable getting off them. I have osteoarthritis in all my joints. I had a hip replacement in 2013. That's when I got so addicted to pain killers.
I guess the pain has a lot to do with my depression. I don't have a very good physician. I had to switch the first of the year. I don't see a phys Doctor any more.
Thanks for your input at least I know I don't suffer alone with this problem

@65742 The hardest thing can be picking up the coloring book and getting started. Be kind to yourself and treat your inner child-a little encouragement and not criticism. If you have a printer there are thousands of coloring pages on line w/ nearly anything you are interested.

I am so depressed I don.'t do anything.I lost my husband of 17 years 4 months ago.I got sick during his illness and had to be admitted to psych ward. Now in last two weeks I have got so much worse .i am living with my son because of my health. I am on Welbutrin on 350 mg a day. Dr upped two weeks ago and I feel like I just do not want to live.What will I do she wants me to have outpatient etc.
I had 12 treatments. of etc and some did not work. That was a year ago Is there a chance her raising it to 350 it still could help. .?
