Thanks so much for the supportive responses. I did start taking ADs about a week ago, though I know that takes awhile to kick in. I've seen a therapist once, but my next appt. isn't for a couple more weeks. That's why I'm glad to have these forums in the meantime. I was finally able to take a shower. And then go get a quick bite to eat with the help of a friend. But yeah, doing those two things did take an enormous amount of energy. I guess I should be proud of myself for doing that at least. Thanks again.
