Hi, thank you for opening up. What you’re describing — constant fatigue despite rest, body aches, headaches, shoulder pain, emotional heaviness, and a constant sense of frustration or urge to cry — can be signs of chronic stress, depression, anxiety, or even underlying physical conditions like vitamin deficiencies, thyroid issues, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
Here’s what you should consider doing:
1. Medical Checkup:
Get some basic tests done to rule out physical causes:
Vitamin B12 and D levels
Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4)
Iron levels and CBC
Blood sugar A general physician can guide you with these.
2. Mental Health Support:
Your emotional symptoms — feeling like crying, frustration, lack of energy — strongly point towards depression or emotional burnout. These are medical conditions, not personal failures. You should consider:
Talking to a therapist or psychiatrist
If therapy is not accessible, try talking to a trusted adult, teacher, or friend.
3. Lifestyle Tips:
Nutrition: Try to include fruits, vegetables, and protein in your meals. Junk food and lack of nutrients worsen mood and fatigue.
Routine: Even light morning exercise or walking helps improve energy levels and mood.
Sleep Hygiene: Maintain a regular sleep schedule and reduce phone/screen time before bed.
4. You’re Not Alone:
Many students feel overwhelmed due to studies, pressure, loneliness, or emotional wounds (including unresolved personal pain or past trauma). You’re not weak for feeling this way.

Hello Ms. Ankita Tiwari. The symptoms of feeling dull, less energetic and easy fatiguability, headache, crying spells, emotional dysregulation and sleep issues that you mentioned may point towards possible Depression. And sometimes, vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3 deficiencies can also mimic Depression. Please seek psychiatric help either online or in-person for detailed evaluation. Regards, Dr. Charan Kumar Pottem, MD Psychiatry (NIMHANS)
Experiencing fatigue despite having adequate sleep can be frustrating and may point to several underlying causes. It’s important to see your healthcare provider to evaluate conditions like anemia, hypothyroidism, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, or sleep disorders such as sleep apnea. Consider reviewing your sleep quality; sometimes the environment or habits before sleep can affect how restorative rest is. Assess whether you’re experiencing stress or anxiety, as these can contribute to your symptoms and might require addressing through therapy or stress management techniques. Ensure your diet is varied, including sufficient proteins, fruits, vegetables, and staying hydrated. Nutritional deficiencies can lead to fatigue too. Engaging in regular physical activity often improves both energy levels and mood over time, even light aerobic exercises like walking. If you’re dealing with persistent headaches and body aches, keep track of when these occur, their intensity, and any associated activities or food intake, as this may help identify potential triggers. Consulting a doctor to discuss the emotional aspect is crucial; mental health holds a significant sway over physical well-being. Address any negative feelings promptly, preferably with a mental health professional. In cases where symptoms worsen or are accompanied by new, acute symptoms such as unusual weight loss, fever, or persistent confusion, seek immediate medical attention to rule out more serious conditions.
