Wow, Liz. Excellent topic and I think I cope with my fatigue in one way that you said you did. I take a nap in the afternoon, sometime more than one.

However, there are many days I feel like Sug. 5-6 hours and that is it for me. I sort of "fag out" (my own word creation which just means "to lay around and do nothing) for the day. If I have a job interview at 2:00 PM, I will sleep up until 11:00 AM, and then get ready for the meeting. After I am done, I am home sleeping within 20 minutes. I become wiped out by doing activities that require me to move around or think a lot. I also go to two NA meetings a day, but I go to one in the morning and one at night, so I can "rejuvenate" before my trek!

I never was like this and much of it has to do with my medication's side effects. I also limit my social activities to less than 2 hours, and I will make it clear to anyone I am with that I have to leave and go home.

My fatigue is also tied into my being unemployed. It actually is tiring to not work, at least for me.
