im53 no energy what is wrong?

Question

i feel run down motivationis all but gone.depression is at a high level.

Answer 1

I'm sorry you are so depressed and feel run down. The depression could be the problem. I've been diagnosed since 2000 w/clinical depression and god only knows how long I've really had it-I think since my teens and I'm 52.

Another thing I was diagnosed with is CFS-chronic fatique syndrome. I was always told my lack of energy was from the depression until I changed PC physician last year.

Are you on any meds? Both can be treated by meds. I've tried a miriad of meds the past 6 years or so and none worked until I was put on Prozac. It has helped the depression immensely.
As for the CFS, I take Elavil for sleep and am on the Duralgesic Patch for pain (which you may not need if you aren't in pain.

Please see a doctor so you can get treated. OK?
and Good Luck

Peace & Love,
donna

Answer 2

Maybe you just need to have some fun. I was feeling down and went on a good vacation. After just a few days I was feeling awesome. Make it a point to do something every day that you like to do.

Answer 3

There's your answer right there...depression.
Depression will zap your energy level.
Since you said, yourself, that you're depressed, then that could very well be your problem. I highly suggest you go to your dr. and talk to him/her about this. There is help now for depression.

Also, talk to your dr. perhaps about doing blood work to see if your body is lacking any vitamins. Getting proper nutrition will help as well.

Answer 4

That could be a number of things. 1 being your heart,2 low iron,
3 not sleeping well and 4 cancer. go get a full work over...

Answer 5

Maybe you are not getting enough vitamins. Unfortunately are body changes more the older we get and we need more nutrition then we did when we were younger.

Answer 6
