That low, low energy

It started yesterday. I had had a better night's sleep than I had had for a long time but felt tired in the morning. My granddaughter visited but was happy to play with playdough and when my son picked her up I had lunch and returned to bed. I slept till 4 p.m. but returned to bed at 7.30 p.m. and still felt tired this morning. So I've allowed myself the day in bed, sleeping till lunch time. I feel a bit more lively now and listening to my favourite music, also played a few games of scrabble on my mobile and I'm contemplating a shower in a while.

 

I haven't had a depressive bout like this for years and previously I would force myself to exercise and do my housework so I just wanted to let everyone know how much I've grown.

Hi, welcome

 

Sleep! we need more quality sleep than those without depression. By far the best thing I ever did was get a sleep study.

 

So now U use a CPAP. It's wonderful.
