@liz223 At 85 I can understand you feeling fatigue. Sounds like getting out helped you some. Can you still drive? I know several who struggle w/ depression, feeling isolated and like they are a burden because of being unable to drive. Do you have any hobbies? Has your doctor checked your thyroid levels recently? A little brainstorming from a youngun' of 65 that is always tired. My go,go got up and went, went because several physical things went wrong all at once. Thank you for sharing about fatigue as I believe many here have this problem for a variety of reasons.

Yes, I still drive and am able to take care of myself and do things for my husband. We still live in our home, but have no family nearby. We are in Florida and our only son is in North Carolina. He has Parkinson's Disease and his wife is ill. I've tried to move us into a retirement community, but each time I find an apartment or cottage, hubby backs out. Trying to live one day at a time. I do have hobbies and maintain a web page for our church plus my Facebook page and a group page. I enjoy card games online. I take quite a few naps too. LOL
