In their words
- Condition: ME/CFS
I’ve been exhausted almost everyday the last 6-7 months or so that I’ve noticed.
In context ↗ - At worst: Mild
The lack of motivation doesn’t stop me from doing work and going to the gym but it takes everything in me to do it.
In context ↗ - Now: No benefit
The fatigue isn’t only being tired from not getting enough sleep either. Its a huge tired feeling in my upper chest, constantly yawning as well.

Summary
In August 2022 a Reddit user reported exhaustion almost every day for six to seven months, possibly longer, with a huge tired feeling in the upper chest, constant yawning, anxiety, and falling asleep after watching TV for more than 10 minutes. Aged 25, the user still worked and went to the gym but it took everything; Adderall for ADHD, taken for seven years, no longer gave energy. No improvement or treatment was reported.
