Summary
A 19-year-old woman described about a year of constant fatigue, weakness, soreness and brain fog that she called a slump. She had assumed it was her depression, but felt happy and in a much better place on medication while still exhausted, unable to stand long or take her dog on long walks. Sleep was poor on some nights despite insomnia medication, and her appetite varied. She had a doctor's appointment booked for August or September.
