Chronic Fatigue: Defeating Permanent Fatigue and Starting the Day with Renewed Strength

You probably know the feeling of returning home from a long day's work with the desire to get comfortable on the sofa. Even as the host of an exuberant celebration, you have certainly felt quite exhausted. After such situations, there is really nothing better than to close your eyes and relax. As strenuous as the day was, it is always a bit of relief to have managed everything. You know what you have achieved and can enjoy your well-deserved break. But imagine that this tiredness persists. Instead of the pride of having mastered a challenge, it is hopelessness to find your way out of the depths on your own. If friends and family also react with incomprehension, the constant tiredness becomes a hard endurance test and can have serious consequences.

Chronic fatigue is no longer a rare phenomenon. Due to the increasing number of people affected, scientists recognized the diagnosis as an independent disease. However, the limitation to other complaints is not always clear, as there are many parallels. Self-awareness is, however, one of the most important steps to break out of the vicious circle. But also relatives are not easy to deal with chronic fatigue.

Whether you are affected yourself or accompany a sick person on his path of suffering, this e-book gives you a detailed insight into the symptoms of chronic fatigue. You will also receive valuable tips on how to deal with the complaints.

Common disease chronic fatigue?

No one can get rid of occasional fatigue. The feeling of exhaustion after strenuous physical or mental work is a normal protective mechanism of the human being. If the normal energy reserves are depleted by above-average activity, the organism shows that it needs a break. However, if you are no longer able to replenish your energy reserves, the condition remains unchanged.

In the ever more hectic everyday life there is often little time to regenerate. The profession demands constant accessibility, status symbols gain in importance. As a result, we are increasingly comparing ourselves with our fellow human beings, our quest for success is never ending. At the same time, it is important to us that social contacts are not neglected. But if you also try to reconcile family and career every day, you know that it is almost essential to set priorities. The inner conflict between professional and private life explains why chronic fatigue affects women in particular.

The complaints develop into a vicious circle in which the consequence of suffering simultaneously causes further suffering. This illustrates that everyday commitments cause stress. Coping leads to exhaustion. However, the expectations of others do not allow for a time-out. One tries to defy the lack of drive, while fears of failure intensify the stress. As you can see, a spiral is created which can be spun continuously.

Does our everyday life make us sick? Years ago, only a few people could imagine something under a burnout. Meanwhile, the mental breakdown threatens to become a widespread disease. According to a report by the Munich Institute for Solution-Oriented Thinking, the number of working days in 2011 on which employees reported themselves mentally ill for psychological reasons was an incredible 59 million. Compared to the results of 1996, the sum had increased by 80%. Experts and health insurance companies estimate burnout patients at around 13 million throughout Germany. At the very least, it is assumed that one in five people felt that they could no longer meet their expectations (source: TK Health Report & KKH Alliance & WHO & Stress Report Germany 2012).

However, it is not only in professional life that the overload occurs. Even children and adolescents have symptoms, albeit not as drastic as adults. At a young age, the overly high standards are usually expressed by a drop in performance and resignation at school. Rarely do delays in mental development appear to exist.

Generally speaking, the statistics do not show any specific age group affected by chronic fatigue. In principle, every person can suffer from the symptoms. Even elderly people are not immune to fatigue. Although symptoms at retirement age are probably due to organic causes, researchers believe that psychological strain is the main trigger. It has been estimated that 2-7 out of 100,000 people nationwide suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome. However, scientists find it difficult to give exact figures. Countless causes complicate a clear diagnosis. In addition, tiredness is always a subjective feeling and cannot be measured on a uniform scale.

What exactly is fatigue? And how long is the state of exhaustion considered normal? Are you already chronically ill if the work grows over your head on some days? Learn more in the next chapter.

When is fatigue pathological?

Fatigue - a natural human instinct

In order to answer the question of this chapter, we will start a short excursion to China. According to Chinese natural philosophy, everything that exists has a contrast - including the human organism. In order to recall our performance during the day, we have to give our body just as much rest in order to recover from what we have experienced.

Tiredness is an innate instinct of man, comparable to hunger, thirst or fear. These basic needs have always protected us from danger and show us the limits of our actions. Like any living being, man has an internal clock - the so-called circadian rhythm. It describes the times of day when our organs function most effectively. For example, you may be aware of the controversial topic in nutritional science, whether eating late is associated with weight gain due to limited digestion. However, this innate regularity becomes even more evident with regard to our sleeping habits. It is undisputed that people are active during the day and rest at night.
