The shame that surrounds all this is a big part of the problem. That's why I am a big believer in acceptance. I can actually be severely depressed and content at the same time. Doesn't mean I have stopped fighting.
Stay in bed all day. Who cares. It's not the end of the world. Don't beat yourself up.
One time I called my AA sponsor and complained how depressed I was, he said "So, be depressed." That hit me like a ton of bricks. No one had ever given me permission before. I had never given myself permission. He was wise.
