Fatigued

For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.  But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.  Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall,

II Peter 1:8-10

Fatigue…a word we all hate to hear. It can rule our lives and make everything seem so bleak. Fatigue comes with many disorders. For me, it came with Lupus, Fibro, and the anxiety disorders I deal with.

I hated the fatigue the most out of everything. For me it was just one more thing to deal with. I couldn’t think or do anything. And I just wanted to sleep all day. All my lupies have told me that I should rest when I want/need to rest, but that just made the fatigue worse.

Sometimes when the fatigue hits, I just don’t know what to do. It all happens so quickly and I am caught off guard. :/

Sleeping does not help with fatigue caused by anxiety. The only thing that helps with that kind of fatigue is treating the anxiety that caused it in the first place.
