Physical effects of depression

[divinemistress36]

How does your depression effect you physically? Like I'm always tired and dizzy. What about you?

My muscles have atrophied since I don't work out anymore, at times I can be neglectful of my hygiene and ik that shows but other than the war in my mind that's really it for me.

Sometimes I feel so devoid of energy it's difficult to get out of bed, or to do anything at all. Even the most simplest tasks can be really challenging.
However, unlike many a sock puppet, I'm surprisingly fortunate with my recently neglected exercising. My body naturally retains structure.

I'm bipolar and perhaps bipolar depression can be different from the more well-known depression. When I'm depressed I become apathetic, and I can't feel my body sometimes, I feel no pain and no physical pleasure. Sometimes I hurt myself and I didn't realize the wound until I saw it. I bleed? I'm completely without energy and I want to sleep.

It's not something I can control so to speak, it can last days to years, but last time I was in mania for 3 months and when I entered here on the site it was changing to depression, but honestly it's something totally destructive for the people you care about. I prefer, although I hate depression, I even prefer being depressed, I only hurt myself.

I am fatigued and lightheaded 24/7. It feels like there are weights tied to my limbs. My cognition is also horrible - I feel totally brainfogged and spaced out.

significant weight gain, i barely sleep, bad mood everyday. i think someone said brainfogged and spaced out, which is relatable as hell. much love to you guys tho

I've found myself extremely fatigued, and I think I get headaches easily now. This has impacted me socially a lot because most days it feels as if the energy has been physically sucked out of me. Even when I don't want it to be.

I'm also more faint and dizzy than I used to be, but that's also impacted by my ED.
