genetic is right. You need to have yourself checked out. There are a couple of things that concern me and may be cauing your weakness along with depression.

First, if you have an eating disorder, you may have an electrolyte imbalance and those can be very serious, or even fatal. Your M.D. can find that out with bloodwork.

Secondly, although feeling like you can't start moving or being so down that you can lay still for hours at a time, can be part of depression, they can also be a sign a of neurologic disorder. This is something for a neurologist to figure out.

Remember, these are just possibilities, and I'm not an M.D., so don't panic when you read this. Start with your M.D. and make an appointment to be seen.

You don't say if you are on any medication, and there are psychiatric medications that can cause weakness. When I psychiatrist perscribed me medications in my twenties, there were a couple whose side effects were very much like you describe you are feeling. Sometimes I would have to drop to the floor where ever I was until I could move again. There are all kinds of side effects from any medications, and though some are more common than others, if you are taking any, your perscribing Dr. should be notified of your symptoms.

Depression can take a lot out of you. I'm sorry that you are in such emotional pain. No one should have to face that. Remember that there are people here who understand your pain and will support you all we can.
