Fatigue caused by depression? TW self harm

I have had a stressful month. So much has gone wrong and DH and I feel like we have been battered by stress. I hit an absolute low last week and wanted to self harm. I was an absolute mess and just couldn’t cope anymore. I spoke to the GP who reminded me of how I get through this (I’ve been on anti depressants due to trauma for most of my life). I barely showered or got dressed last week and crawled through (I work from home). At the weekend I felt exhausted. Not a little bit tired but can’t keep my eyes open tired. This has contributed today. I’m exhausted but have been going to bed early. I had bloods last week for something else and all were fine.
I feel like I’ve shut down. I’m exhausted and struggling to stay awake. Can depression do this? I’ve never had this before but have always had depression 😢

Here for a handhold, its horrible to go through, every day is a win, you will get through this even though it doesn't feel like it currently. Only a DM away if you need to chat, big hugs
