Members connected over the shared struggle of chronic fatigue and low motivation, with many acknowledging how weather, hydration, and depression can compound feelings of exhaustion. Several members offered practical strategies, including committing to just one small task or chore daily without guilt, taking B-12 or potassium supplements after consulting a doctor, exercising in water or through chair yoga to build strength gently, and playing upbeat music to make movement feel less like a burden. A recurring theme was the importance of starting small, celebrating tiny victories, and extending grace to oneself on the hardest days.

Could you be low on iron? Maybe a multiple vitamin daily?

I would give anything to experience pleasure from exercise. People say they feel endorphins. Me never.

Whenever i'm feeling drained and tired i take over the counter Potassium or B-12's. But, Check with your Physician first. The prescription formula works better and faster than the over the counter brand. I'm praying for your strength and you have a wonderful goodnight.

Exercise exercise in a pool 5x a week and chair yoga. That will motivate u to move your body. And each day u will gain strength and energy.

When I had the lap band in 2006 I went to a bariatric water exercise class. I wish I could find one again for I am just not up to a regular class.
