Thank God for fatigue. It is a signal to your body you need to rest, recuperate. That is what is so bad about being addicted to speed: you override that signal to your body. Do it long enough and your body just deteriorates. If we obey our bodies we do better. Our body is constantly giving us messages. And we do better when we obey those signals.

Thank God for fatigue. It is your body telling you you have to rest. That is a good thing. “Speed” kills you for it overrides that message and given enough time you keep going and eventually your body deteriorates from within. Rest is a period your body recovers. If you consistently don’t sleep enough you don’t feel well for during sleep your body rejuvenates itself so observe the messages your body is telling you. Your body is an incredibly complex piece of machinery.

Black moods often follow when you have slept badly. Not all the time for peoples’ constitutions differ. There is nothing like a solid good night sleep to restore your mood and dispel depression due to fatigue. Your emotions sometimes are deceivers. You can’t always rely on them to be accurate. If you are eating correctly (yes, a poor diet heavy on sugar can exacerbate depression) and sleeping well and you are often depressed, there is another reason you are depressed and you have to look at that. In any case, realize a bad night sleep can darken your moods and all it takes is a good night sleep to brighten your day. Depression can be solely physiological due to a bad night sleep. Sleep is restorative. When you sleep, your body purges itself of poisons.

Which comes first: the depression or the depressed thoughts. It was unusual. I fell into a depression early in the morning and then could find all kinds of reasons to justify it.
Most of the time I become depressed in the late afternoon or evening because of fatigue. I can’t give that reason this time obviously.
I just wonder though. Was it totally biochemical or was it an accumulation of events that set off a depression. One more is just enough to tip over the bucket and cause depression.
I really do not know sometimes. Nor do I spend an inordinate time trying to figure it out. Depressions sometimes come and go. That Is all I need to know. They will end.

Often your worst fears don’t materialize. And sometimes you have to be aware you are more vulnerable when you are fatigued and feeling overwhelmed. You have to be kinder to yourself. And realize your feelings at these moments can be a deceiver. There is nothing like a solid night sleep to evaporate your worst fears that can run rampant in these moments.
You just have to be aware when your feelings are a more reliable indicator how you truly are doing. And feelings do come and go and there are many shades of them very seldom do they run to the extremes–from despair to great joy and often you are somewhere in between and that is okay.
The mountain peaks only come once in awhile so enjoy the simple pleasures that come along and treat yourself not too harshly when you err. We all do. And forgive those who do also. You do not expect yourself to be perfect so extend that same privilege to those around you. Your life will run smoother. Be happy with what you’ve got. You only get one time around.

Nothing had changed from yesterday and today. Yesterday I was depressed. And today I was not. The only difference I could gather was that last night I got a solid night sleep. Sometimes the explanation for a depression is that simple: I was overly fatigued. And the depression lifts after a good night sleep. It is that simple. There is no complicated psychological reason.
The depression was totally physical. I sometimes forget that. I always have to look at that first. It could be that simple. I am aware I have a tendency to become depressed when I don’t sleep well and enough. Or overdo it or both. Every one is different. I just have to respect my limits.

Fatigue is a gift whether you realize it or not. It is an indication you are human, that you have limitations. It can be caused by not sleeping and eating properly, stress or illness or any combination thereof.
It has a set of causes and forces you to do something to rectify it. It is not only no fun being tired but also it is very hard to be productive. You are often not able to meet the demands of others adequately.
Fatigue forces you to acknowledge you have limitations and you have to observe them or pay the cost. Often (though not all the time) you can correct your chronic fatigue by simply taking better care of yourself: sleeping and eating properly often do wonders.
These are simple causes of fatigue. Stress can, also, wear you down and cause havoc in your life. Chronic fatigue can be a result.
Illness, of course, can be (???) factor and there is so much you can do about that but, nevertheless, not observing your limits can lower your resistance to mono, cold and the flu and I am sure this is only a short list. All kinds of things.
Most of the time fatigue is a indicator you have to take care of yourself better so do not ignore it. Everything in our life has a purpose even fatigue. So listen to your body.

I realized this morning I awoke depressed–something that does not happen to me too often. I was abnormally busy the last two days. I did not get enough rest and too many things have gone wrong (though small things). I have to take better care of myself, reduce my work load, eat properly. I am going to lay low the next few days. Then, at some point, the depression should lift.
Nothing happens in a vacuum including depression. There is an intricate relationship between our body and our mind. My depression is telling me something is wrong, something needs correcting. I need to take better care of myself. I have to learn to listen to my body and mind. Sometimes depression is just a physical thing. Fatigue is often a factor. Everyone has limits. I have to observe mine.
