As the title says ... I am 45 and I'm bone tired. I don't want to or have the energy to do anything. I have a demanding job which I can just about do but wipes me out. It requires lots of planning which I barely cope with. I make promises to myself each weekend to catch up but when it comes down to it I have no motivation.
I'm on 50mg sertraline but it's not really helping and to be honest I'm physically tired as well as emotionally tired. I get up very early for work but I also go to bed at ten each night and sometimes even earlier and fall straight asleep. I also take gabapentin as a migraine preventative. This has cut them down to about twice a month.
I have put on weight over the last 2 years despite being much more active.
I know I am stressed with my job but I do like it. I just have no zest for anything at the moment.
The only other physical symptom I have is burning feet every night.
I don't drink alcohol. My diet is not brilliant but not awful.
I just feel fat, drained and fantasise about suicide. I would never ever do this but it pops into my head a lot.
Any ideas???
