Even simple things like cooking or honestly any chore make me want to lie down right after.

Now I wake up tired, never fully rested, and something always aches

Summary
A Reddit user in r/chronicfatigue described widespread pain during a physically demanding job that lasted until last year, with each day feeling like a nightmare. After quitting, the pain became less frequent but constant exhaustion set in, leaving them waking unrefreshed and too drained to do chores. They had no diagnosis yet and wondered whether depression, chronic pain or both explained it. They tried working out for a few weeks, but the pain never really went away.
