Not being able to stop thinking is exhausting. It probably is mental in origin, but have you ruled out physical causes of tiredness first? Some meds can cause severe grogginess - are you on antidepressants or any other meds?

On the other hand, if you've not tried an antidepressant that's probably the next logical step. Along with therapy to address (hopefully) the root causes of the thoughts and the being unable to forget.

Hi John,

I agree with NCOT. Maybe you should get some blood tests done to see what is going on. I have diabetes and when my blood sugar is high, I get exhausted. I also have fibromyalgia which can make me tired. But depression itself can do that too.

Have you talked to a doctor about this? I would talk to a professional and see where the best place to start is. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

I think too much too. I take abilify to help with that.

Best wishes...

Hugs, Karen...

I can have that issue when take meds.

I agree, first find out if it is a thyroid related issue, low iron or such.

Than talk to the doc about your thoughts, in detail. The doc can decide if it is depression or not. A thyroid condition can cause depression

Let us know how it goes with Doc. We may have feed back. Many of us have start where you are. So do think you are alone, by any means!

Peace and strength

Zichm,

no matter what your thoughts are at the very least it is anxiety.

It is something that ought to be discussed with your doctor. Blood test for thyroid is a good idea.

If thoughts are dark and self harming a reference to a therapist is a good idea.

Here is link to a helpful sight can may give you some answers.
