General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Teating your depression (if it is the cause of chronic fatigue) can make it easier for you to cope with the problems associated with chronic fatigue syndrome. Low doses of some antidepressants also can help improve sleep and relieve pain.

The most effective treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome appears to be a two-pronged approach that combines cognitive training with a gentle exercise program.

Talking with a counselor can help you figure out options to work around some of the limitations that chronic fatigue syndrome imposes on you. Feeling more in control of your life can improve your outlook dramatically.
A physical therapist can help determine what exercises are best for you. Gradually increasing the intensity of your exercise over time may help reduce your hypersensitivity to exercise
Hope I have answered the question.
