Fatigue, chronic
If you find yourself experiencing chronic fatigue you may be suffering from one of the following conditions:
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is an illness characterized by widespread chronic pain. Individuals with it experience musculoskeletal aches, pain, stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, sleep disturbance and fatigue. The pain is typically located in the back, neck, shoulders, pelvic area and hands.
Depression
Depression is one of a range of moods a person feels that can vary from feeling down as a result of having a bad day, to a debilitating feeling of sadness that may overwhelm you and prevent you from performing normal daily tasks. Depression can occur in people of all ages and the episodes can last from a few days to several weeks or months. It is thought that young adults experience depression more frequently, and that it affects twice as many women as men.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
The individual suffering from GAD lives in a constant state of tension and general uneasiness. They are oversensitive in their relationships and generally feel inadequate and depressed. No matter how well things are going, they are nervous and anxious. They find themselves constantly worrying. Typically, at the end of the day they mentally review their daily activities, list out all of their "mistakes", real or imagined, and come up with what they "should" have done in that situation.
