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.
