Does anybody else just want to sleep forever when you get depressed? I mean as an escape from life. I go through weeks of being extremely happy and barely sleeping (which I recently was diagnosed with having manic episodes) then I crash emotionally into this horrible depression where I don't even want to get up or be a part of my life which is where I'm at today. I wish I could just sleep for a week at a time, I really can't stand being awake with all this time to just think about everything It's my only way to get away from reality for awhile, I know the depression will end and I'll be happy again at some point,or manic. but when I crash it's very hard..it just hits me like a ton of bricks and weighs me down so much
