Difference between Depression & True Exhaustion?
Depression Support / by raspberryBike4094

...See more I've known I've had depression for several years now but am only just starting to realize how much it affects my life and is responsible for the way I feel most of the time. So my question is: How do you tell the difference between being actually tired and depression-related exhaustion? I get up really early for my job, and a lot of days when I get home, I take a nap so I can be more awake and spend time with my husband when he gets home from work in the evening. But a lot of times when I take a nap, it then leads to just staying in bed all day because getting up feels like too much work. I've been trying to only nap on the days when I really feel like I need it, but sometimes I can't tell when I really need more sleep and when my brain is just telling me to go to bed because I'm depressed. Does anyone else face anything similar?
