Perhaps you are suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think it starts about now and maybe earlier up north. I've not been depressed, but I definitely have less energy the last few weeks.
I'm saying a prayer for light to come into your life and your heart. smile
Smile, I'm pretty sure that's what this is...I used to get seriously affected by SAD, but haven't noticed it over the past 4-5 years (probably because I was clinically depressed and chronically fatigued for so long, so the SAD made no difference!)

But after being depression-free for the past year or so, I'm really noticing the SAD more this month, despite taking walks outside most days. I'm not too concerned...knowing what it is is half the battle. And this is the first time in my life that I've had SAD but haven't had to worry about going to work, so it's much easier to cope with when I can move at my own pace. And eat chocolate whenever I want to.
