“Myth is a human attempt to overcome our Reality, and that Naming gives us a sense of control over people and things and events. This incredible song radiates that feeling of rolling the stone of Sisyphus up the hill. Although the stone may roll back on us over and over again, and our repeated attempts may seem futile, it is our determination to keep trying and never to quit that grants us dignity and a sense of inner tranquility.”
Have you ever heard ofdepression tiredness? Depression tiredness is being mentally exhausted from trying to fight off all the negative thoughts that can make you feel worthless, meaningless, or unimportant.
It’s so much more than just feeling tired and can affect your life in many ways.
From your lifestyle to how you interact with others, sometimes it feels as if depression is inescapable.
To help put these complex feelings into words, here are a few ways depression tiredness can manifest.
1. Exercise Most Days of the Week (Even Just a Little Bit Counts)
Exercise might be the last thing you feel like doing if you’re encumbered by fatigue. But regular exercise actually boosts your energy and helps you feel less exhausted over time, says Goldman.
If you’re having a hard time getting started, simply start small and slowly add time to your routine. Most adults can stay healthy by fitting in 150 minutes (or 20 minutes a day) of moderate-intensity exercise (such as brisk walking) each week, according to exercise guidelines.
When it comes to lessening fatigue, improving the quality of sleep is essential, and typically done via sleep hygiene, Goldman says. According to the CDC and the Sleep Foundation, good sleep hygiene includes doing the following:
Eat dinner earlier. Having a heavy meal late at night kicks your digestive system into high gear, which can delay your ability to fall asleep.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the afternoon and evening. Caffeine is a stimulant that worsens insomnia, and while alcohol may initially make you drowsy, it usually triggers wake-ups in the middle of the night.
Go to sleep and wake up at the same times every day, including on weekends. A consistent pattern helps maintain your body’s circadian rhythm, the timing of its internal clock.
Keep your bedroom quiet and dark. Noise and light can make falling asleep harder and cause frequent awakenings during the night. Donning an eye mask, hanging blackout curtains and using a white noise machine or even a fan help.
Keep your bedroom cool. The ideal temperature for sleep is about 65 degrees Fahrenheit, but this may vary from person to person.
Shut off electronics 30 minutes to an hour before bed and stash your cell phone and laptop in another room. Blue light emanating from their screens, scrolling through social media, or checking email can “turn on” your brain, delaying the transition to sleep.
3. Do Your Best to De-stress
Although stress is an everyday fact of most people’s lives, there are ways to lessen its effects and better manage any trying moments that pop up unexpectedly, according to Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente.
These include:
Exercise. Along with boosting energy and lessening fatigue, exercise also causes your brain to release good-for-you chemicals that help keep you calm.
Eat a nutritious diet. Nutrient-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains improve both your physical and mental health.
Take breaks. If a particular task is proving to be stressful, stepping away for a few minutes can lessen whatever tension or worry you’re feeling in that moment.
Keep a journal. Recording your thoughts in writing or by drawing — on paper, in your cell phone, or on your computer — can release negative feelings before they become bottled up inside you.
4. Tell Your Doctor if You’re Struggling With Fatigue
If exhaustion interferes with your ability to go about your day, reach out to your doctor or therapist. This is especially important if the fatigue is not remitting, if it’s worsening, or if other symptoms of depression start to worsen, Goldman says.
Your doctor can check if a medication or underlying health issue is to blame. If a medication is causing your fatigue, your doctor may adjust the dose or, in some cases, suggest taking it at bedtime or switching to a different medication, according to Mayo Clinic.
Your fatigue could also be related to certain health conditions that are known to cause or contribute to fatigue. These could include:
[Verse 4]
No better color, look everywhere
You built a city all in your head
You know you're not losing your mind
What’s left you make something of it
The sky and what's left above it
The way you want nothing of it, wildflower
I didn't think you'd understand me
How could you ever even try?
I don't wanna tiptoe, but I don't wanna hide
But I don't wanna feed this monstrous fire
Just wanna let this story die
Rage is a quiet thing
Well, you think that you've tamed it
But it's just lying in wait
Rage, is it in my veins?
Feel it in my face when
When I least expect it, hmm
