Question: I have a handicapped child with approx 95% dependency facing a major surgery, having financial problems. Tons of responsibility. I cannot find any happiness. I hate going grocery shopping, I do not go to dinner with friends, do not enjoy meeting with family. Physical and mental loss of energy.
I have also been forgetting recent days.Also, have just wanted to eat junk so I do not have to cook because I'm to exhausted. Lost all desire to do anything. But it feels internal. I can't have coffee to help, I drink lots of water. I'm on antidepressants as well as thyroid meds. I physically cannot get up and do things because i feel exhausted on the inside
