Hello,

I am so sorry you are going through this, but when I read your post, it is a copycat version of me. You would not believe me if I told you how long it's been on and off that i get out of bed to do anything except go to the bathroom. It's an effort to do anything. I can tell you that all of my bloodwork has been normal, so def get that checked out and don't be afraid to. Please seek help and maybe try an anti-depressant. I just started a new one today. I know that the longer you try not to fight this, the worse it will become(my own personal experience).

You have nothing to be ashamed of either. Depression is an illness, just like a diabetic who has to have insulin. The loss of hope, ability to function, things that run through your head are what this illness does to you. It distorts your way of thinking, putting nothing but negativity in your head. The more negativity, the worse you will feel and the cycle continues. It's like a ball that spins over and over. Until you can slow that ball down, the cycle will go on and on. You are not alone and you are a human being that deserves to be happy and so am i. Please listen to the other people on here and 1st go and get a complete blood count, chemistry study and def have your thyroid checked. If all comes back good, then go from there. Fight the good fight right along with me and all the others.
