This is the way I feel right now. My therapist said there is a thing called Irritable Depression, but I tend to think I'm in a mixed state. I feel overwhelmed about the things that need to be done ie. shower, go outside, clean house, holidays etc so I don't do anything. I feel totally keyed up and antsy, mad at everyone and the world in general. But I'm also crying everyday inbetween feeling unsetttled and antsy. The only thing I look forward to is sleeping. Reading is a little but of relief as well because I can escape without using drugs & alcohol. I've done all the things my pdoc tells me to do like exercise, volunteer, don't isolate etc and I feel worse so now I've just given up. I'm sick and tired of trying all the time esp when living seems to come so much easier to other people. I'm also addicted to comparing my life to ppl on Facebook - big mistake!!
