I guess you did strike a very sensitive area. I do know that you meant well...For me...sometimes I just use up all of my energy getting through the work week when all I really want to do is hide in my bed where it is safe (take my mask off). I feel so guilty if I let myself "hide" on a Saturday. I know I should be up cleaning, doing laundry, paying bills..etc..etc..

My husband will call me around 9:00 and if I'm still sleeping...well...he's like "are you sick". Depression is evil and everyone deals with it differently. For me....well...somtimes I just need to shut down and that in itself aids in my ability to function. It's sad that I have to pretend that I'm not still sleeping or that I'm up cleaning the bathroom (because 3 hrs before he gets home I get my *** in gear and do what I need to do). I just shouldn't have to feel guilty about snuggling in my bed and taking that comfort....but I do...as I'm sure everyone else that seeks that does.
