Do You Feel Physically Weak During a Depressive Episode?

Absolutely. I always get weak and tired when my mental health nose dives

yes, I do! I have other chronic pain so I feel like my body is already weak and worsens. when I’m depressed, I won’t want to do anything. I work from home but I’ll have zero energy to do that and it’s like my body’s light engine is off. I won’t want to eat anything and I’ll hardly drink water. I think with some chronic pain involved, it does kind of double in a way if you already experience that- or that’s in my experience at least

I experience this too. I’ve found that lots of forms of stress, both internal (like mental health issues) and environmental (work, personal relationships etc.) can impact my body. I also know that my mom is the same way.

I only have depression and it gives me various symptoms like feeling generally weak and dizzy/lightheaded so I absolutely relate. On worse depression days I find myself slowing down for simple movements like chewing, when I would be going faster on a better day

I also have the same thing happen. I usually get so tired from doing simple things that I have to stay in bed. It's like my entire body is unable to do anything

Yes I think so

YES! Me all the way some things just take so much energy! ❤️

Depression definitely can do that but the fibromyalgia definitely doesn't help. Legit, I'm going through a similar thing and would love to talk if you feel up to it.
