Physical Symptoms of Depression

14 years ago 0 +0 / -0 619

My main problem is early-morning awakening when I think in all the problems that I have. I have some headaches from time to time.

Well ... I have fairly frequent headaches, but I have for as long as I can remember, way before the depression set in. My main physical symptom is fatigue, generally in the 4-5 hours either side of midday. Falling asleep (or nearly falling asleep) over my work, tired legs that feel as if I have just run a marathon, lack of concentration and ability to apply my previously fearsome

intellect to anything for more than a minute. I'm generally bored by my job, but not that bored.

My appetite is poor - if I lived on my own I would exist on one small meal a day quite contentedly. Food is not a pleasure for me, just fuel to be taken on when absolutely necessary.As a result I have avoided any weight gain as I have moved through middle age, so that's a cloud with a silver lining.

I am lucky, though, that I have never had sleep or libido problems.

Irritability? Well, I've always been that way inclined, but at times now much more so than before the black dog came to stay. I'm a lot less tolerant of small irritating habits and actions in others than I used to be.
