i am 46, male, in chronic pain(unmanaged atm) from degenerative disc disease and injuries from car accident. I have been seeing a doctor, and started on meds. I haven't been able to get out of bed for the last week (6 days and counting)?? I have been sleeping a few hours at a time, I have things i need to take care of but can't bring myself to do anything ? I don't care about any of it ... nothing matters ... my relationships are suffering ... i seem to be powerless to help myself ... i have been contemplating going to the hospital? and i can't stand being like this any longer ... but any thoughts i have goes away as fast as it came. I have been having a very hard time for the last yr, and a not so good time for the last 5 or so ... am i in a nervous breakdown ?? its like my brain has just shut down !!!! void of thought ??? i started taking cymbalta last week ... and i stopped taking it 4 days ago thinking it was the cause ... i was pretty bad before taking it, then was awake for 3 days, very angry, then in bed since ?? i have forced myself to do things a few times, and indecision, feeling lost, and being unsure sent me back to my hole. I have times that my heart and thoughts race, i break into a sweat, and i am very anxious ... but mostly i roll over and go to sleep ... my doctor wasnt any help ... should i go to hospital ??
