Dealing with Chronic Fatigue and Never Feeling Well Rested

I stopped drinking coffee and alcohol. Then I started walking bit by bit. Then I started running and lifting weights. Losing weight helped use less of my energy to move and do basic stuff. I’m not fully out of the woods with the fatigue, but what I’ve mentioned has helped me a lot.

I take Trazodone 50mg at night which actually helps me feel rested but everyone is different. During the day, I’m exhausted… I just got blood work done today to see if it’s something other than fibromyalgia but who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

commenting so I can see what other people say 🥴

That's great! I do have a similar routine for the most part time, including a quiet time with prayer first thing in the morning, but the problem is that I often have trouble focusing on that quiet time because of how tired I still am feeling. Routine definitely does help me as a while, but this fatigue is kicking my butt and making it hard to get anything done at home outside my job 😔. What pills do you take if you don't mind me asking? I finally got my diagnosis in December, but I have yet to try any medications or anything

I don’t have one great answer, but here are some things that help me. I don’t know if this would help everyone. But one thing that helps me is routine. Even if it’s a really small one. So I have an alarm go off at the same time, even if I can’t get up right away, I am awakened (for a bit.) I also try to start with a prayer, breakfast, and pills. Once I’ve done that, I feel like I’ve done something productive. If I need to sleep more I might, but sometimes the momentum of the routine will help me get to the next thing. I also have set nap times throughout the day.
