Hi Little Mouse,

I feel the same way. I agree with Sabrina, you aren't lazy and to go down that road will only make you more tired and depressed and continue the cycle. Sometimes I just tell myself it's OK to rest. I would if I had *any other medical condition* that didn't carry the stigma of depression. Sleep can be restorative.

As for the meds, I've been on Rispedal before and it made me VerY tired. I am starting to get the (horrific) idea that people with psych issues are medicated to the gills, with no benefit-only side-effects and more self-loathing. If it goes on any longer (the extreme tiredness), please bring it up with the prescribing doctor.

You are certainly not worthless, you are trying to deal the best you can with an illness.

Take care, treat yourself as you would a good friend.

HuG,
