It doesn't seem to take much to wipe me out completely, and although there seems to be no discernible cause, as Jaffar says: things aren't always what they seem.
It's not something that I can reach out and touch, but I have my suspicions that a lot of what causes the tiredness lies beneath the surface.
Although I am not consciously stressing or worrying, somewhere in me there is a part that is doing so, and it is that which is being a huge drain on my energy levels.
Why I am oblivious to this process I'm not sure; I could have even locked myself out as a form of self defence.
Either way becoming completely wiped out is a frequently reoccurring problem for me. The question is how do you stop being stressed if it isn't something that's happening consciously?
Life is stressful at the end of the day and because I am mentally ill I must be extra cautious. This might mean not being able to work in general or having to not leave the house for periods of time and so being unreliable.
That is why I need support, which could come in the form of state benefits and the community mental health services amongst other things.
It's hard to admit it but people like me are vulnerable individuals and need help to survive and ideally to thrive.
