stephybee, I understand about the job. I hate mine, too. And I too would stay in bed all day if I didn't have to get up and go to work. However, at least it forces me to participate in life a little bit. At least, I'm distracted from this awful depression for a little while. Have you seen a psychiatrist? or therapist? If not it would be a good thing to do. I hope your depression lifts soon. Mine keeps lingering, too. Keep posting and you will get support and even make a few friends. I get a lot of positive stuff from the forums.
