Hey all,
My history with my many depressive episodes has been that I sleep WAYY too much...I'm talking 12-16 hours at my worst. For the past week or so I have been feeling significantly depressed...not as serious as usual but still bad. Sleeping around 10-12 hours a day.
For the past few days I have been frustrated inside...if I'm sitting still I need to move. I need to DO something, otherwise I feel like I'm wasting precious time. Last night I slept 4 and a half hours, and I could have woken up sooner but I FORCED myself to go back to sleep. There were no triggers. I had taken my medication on time. I'm talking more, I listen to myself and feel like I talk a bit too fast and wonder if I'm as annoying as I sound in my head. However, I don't feel happy or wonderful like manic episodes...so I don't think it's that (unfortunately!)
Can depression turn to frustration, lack of sleep, and the need to DO MORE? (While still feeling down?) What's wrong with me?
