Thanks for the hugs, all. I've REALLY needed them these past few days.

I'm not really sure how I'm doing now, to be honest. I feel a lot of nothing, which is probably an improvement from how I was feeling before. I woke up bright and early this morning, and I remember being glad because I could feel that my mood had lifted considerably, but I was so exhausted that I fell right back asleep and slept the day away. I think the bad days sap out all my energy, even though I was more or less catatonic during them. I still can't get up the motivation to do much of anything -- I spend a lot of time just staring at the wall -- but I've been forcing myself to eat at least two full meals a day, and I've been getting dressed when I wake up, even though I'm usually so exhausted I just go back to bed. Still, even though I'm still incredibly low energy, the worst of my depressive horrors have passed, and I'm grateful for that. Despite the bouts of depression I get, I know that without my meds and the counselling I get that they could be much worse and last much longer.

Thanks again for everyone's support, you're all amazing.
