I am constantly exhausted. I m only going to be 18 in a month, and I can t figure out why I m so tired. I get around 8-9 hours of sleep a night, but no matter what; during the day and when I m trying to wake up int he morning. I feel like I just...can t go on. It s making me depressed and irritable all the time. I m not sure what to do. I don t have any reason to believe I have some disorder, and I can t go see a doctor because I don t have the money right now. But I ve been getting so depressed, I have constant migraines and everything hurts. I just haven t been able to get a good night of sleep in months...any help?
Hello, The symptoms are more reflective of depressive disorder along with migraine. But to be sure it will be better to do some tests to rule out other causes which can lead to this presentation. Get CBC, TSH levels, blood sugar Fasting, serum It D and B12 levels. If everything is fine then most probably its psychological, and you should see a psychiatrist. At least once you should get a detailed in-person evaluation of yourself before starting the treatment.  Chat Doctor. Take your parents into confidence and proceed. Wish you good health.
