Hey,
That sounds really frustrating to deal with. I can understand why you're upset when you're trying to explain how tired you feel and it seems like your concerns are being dismissed.
Something that stood out to me is that you've already spoken to both your doctor and your mom about this. Even though the answers you've gotten so far haven't been what you were hoping for, I think it's important that you continue bringing it up with your doctor if the fatigue is affecting your daily life. Sometimes it can take time and multiple appointments to figure out what's going on.
As for your mom, I don't think wanting answers means you're choosing to be tired or looking for something to be wrong. It sounds more like you're trying to understand why you're feeling this way and find something that helps. Those are two very different things. I also wonder if part of the frustration comes from feeling unheard. When someone responds with things like "just go outside more" or "find a solution" it can feel as though they're not fully understanding the impact this is having on you.
For now try to be kind to yourself. Fatigue can be difficult enough on its own without feeling like you have to constantly defend yourself to other people. Keep advocating for yourself with your healthcare providers, and don't be afraid to let them know if your symptoms continue or worsen.
