Tired of feeling Tired

I have had depression for 2 1/2 years. I have been on an antidepressent this whole time so why am I so tired and emotional.

I went from really fit jogging for fun and livin a full life, then I got an IUD Marina placed in for contriception within a day or two I was sitting on the couch wondering how I was going to find the energy to look after my 2 small children.
My doctor belived it was more of a case of a suppressed depression making an apperance.
I am such a different person to the one I was
My poor partner is stuck doing more around the house as I can only manage to do so much.
I am going to the gym and my partner and I are eating really well as we are both trying to loose some weight. I have put on 10kg in this time and finding it a real struggle to budge it.
I was at the gym this morning and I struggle so much I feel asthough I am pulling myself along.
I have even been down the road of drinking too much as the alcohol was the only thing wich would give me energy.
I am trying to cut it down.
I am tired I can even feel my arms feeling tired from typing.
I am Tired of feeling Tired.
I guess I just need to hear some encouraging words that I will one day feel better than I do now, or maybe that someone else out there feels the way I do or has in the past.
Thanks for your time to hear about my situation.

i think you need to get medically checked - ask for a second opinion - ask for bloodwork - check your iron levels

Thankyou for your feed back i had a check at the time my iron was fine as was my thiroid and colesterole and anything else they tested.

I will have to make yet another doctors appointmet.
Although last time I was there he wasnt sure what he could do for me.
