Tired all of the time, low concentration....
For a good while now I've been trying to discover what is wrong with me. I'm always feeling tired, very rarely have moments where I feel like I have any energy. My eyes generally look dark and tired and my concentration is low. I love reading and I've been trying to learn a foreign language too, but I haven't been able to do both successfully because I just can't concentrate. I feel tension across my eyes and top of my forehead. I'm not sure if this could be related to the ringing sound I constantly hear in my ears?
My diet is quite healthy, not brilliant though. I eat well over 5 pieces of fruit and vegtables a day and I am conscience to look at what goes into my food. Although I do binge drink at least once a week. I must drink a hell of a lot because I often don't remember a thing and have pissed me self once, which was highly embarassing.
I exercise somtimes. I lift weights 4 times a week and run 3 times a week.
I've been to the doctors in the past for blood tests and I've come out clear every single time.
Although I have been feeling very depressed during the last 12 months. From bing abused in a relationship to failing my exams and now I've pulled out of university until September. I have found a job and start in a few days. But I still feel down and depressed. Argh! Does anyone else constantly feel tired and can't concentrate?
P.S May I add that that I dream a lot. I must have at least 3/4 dreams a night and they're very negative. Could this be a contributing factor to my tiredness?

I've gone through this before myself, and I hate to say there's (in my experience) very little you can do to stop it. And it's the depression's fault. In a way, your depression will be heightened by your diet (eating loads of fruit doesn't mean you're eating healthily, you could well be eating too little meat or not drinking enough water or something), so that's something you can start, and if you get into a routine (I'm guessing you have ****ed up sleeping patterns like me? 
) it'll help you feel better about yourself and give you more encouragement to keep it up. Other than that, there's nothing you can do.
Also, if the depression is really bad, maybe you could consider seeing a counsellor? Just to get it all sorted in your head... that way it wouldn't play on your mind. The fact that you know you dream 3/4 times a night means that you're waking up 3/4 times a night, at least, which is almost certainly because of your dreams troubling you. It's like a mild insomnia, I suppose.

My diet is generally a lot healthier than my families I reckon. they're stuffing them selves with white bread and chocolate and all that rubbish. I do eat this but rarely. I don't think it's a diet problem, although I could improve it further to be sure.
My sleep pattern isn't that ****ed up any more. Although it used to be a mess while I was a uni. But I'm generally in bed for 11ish and then wake up at 9ish, still tired of course and then I go for a run.
I'm going to assess how I feel while I'm working. I haven't had a proper routine for ages now and this may be contributing to me feeling down hence feeling like **** all of the time.
As for counselling.... I've had it before and it doesn't make me feel any better. I'm more of a person feels better for achieving something my self other than a counsellor helping me. I think in this way since I don't see how a counsellor can help me. Further still, I can't afford a counsellor and the NHS waiting times... just don't go there!
I just need help with these dreams I'm having. I've got dreams and aspirations and hopes. I want to achieve them this year before I go to uni... maybe I'm putting too much pressure on my self. But if I don't achieve these goals I will feel like a failure.
I have got over my absuive boy friend, I think. I do tend to think about it now and again but I just get angry and want to go over to him and rip is head of. I've been using exercise as a substitute. S one day, when he see's me, I'll be much more fit and healthy and he will regret the day he ever began to abuse me.
Ahhh...
I'm just fed up of feeling tired and confused. I mean, I am desperate to learn Spanish, one day I do great, the next I can't even look at my text book because it gives me headaches. It's so confusing.
