Live Life Fully Awake
No matter what you do, you’re always tired. You’ve tried resting. You’ve tried sleeping more. You’ve tried sleeping less. You’ve tried cutting out caffeine, and you’ve tried downing triple espresso shots. It doesn’t matter what you do or where you are—whether you’re a few hours into work or strolling through the Alexandria arts district with your friends for fun—the fatigue is there with you, draped across your shoulders like the world's most unwanted companion.
Constant fatigue might be a sign of depression. If you experience feeling empty, brain fogged, sad, worthless, or hopeless, along with feeling exhausted, talk to an Alexandria depression therapist about how depression treatment can help you.
Is It Depression or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Fatigue is a common symptom of depression, but it’s also a common symptom of many physical health disorders. These are some signs that what you are experiencing is depression, not a physical illness, and should be treated by an Alexandria depression therapist.
- Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
- Sleep doesn’t help
- No motivation
- Feel hopeless
- Low self-worth and self-esteem
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue is related to mood

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps address the negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to depression fatigue. By restructuring unhelpful thinking and building consistent routines, CBT can improve motivation, increase activity levels, and gradually restore energy.
