This is self-improvement related.

I feel tired to the point my brain is in a fog and I am depressed from when I get up at 5 am, then I feel a little better after lifting weights or cardio, but then I get the same feeling until about 6 pm at night to 9 when I go to bed.

The sleepiness itself I can deal with, but the confusion/fog and depression are hard. I really think the depression isn't situational.

I lift weights or do cardio 7 days a week. I could probably do less, but I feel better doing it every day. I try to eat healthfully (no sweets, soda). I do drink crystal light, but I'm going to try stopping that as I heard the sweetener can make you depressed.

I try not to nap during the day, but give in and do sometimes. Although I get up at 5 every day, I sometimes go back to bed after an hour or so and until 8. I am trying to not do this.

I do have hypothyrodism, but take medication daily on an empty stomach and my labs are fine.

Try to eat less calories, less calories = less oxidative stress. If you're a shut in, take Vitamin D. Live in a polluted area? Purify your indoor air.

I actually have been trying to eat more calories. I used to be 130 pounds and 5'11." I started lifting weights, and eating more, and I gained 30 pounds. I stopped eating as much and dropped to 150.

I actually don't like eating so much, but I'm tired of being skeletal.
