I have suffered from depression since I was a teen. Recently, I have found myself in a different type of depression for me. Normally, I suffer from atypical depression and the episodes last about 5-14 days. Right now my depression is melancholic and I've had it for 3 months. It's not fun. I'm really struggling with the hypersomnia. I can barely muster energy to do anything. Showering is even difficult. I'm falling asleep on the drive home from my T or Pdoc. I'm just so tired.

Normally, medication helps me. I'm usually very stable on my meds. It has even, basically eliminated my SUI and SI thoughts. My art has also helped me a lot.

Right now my T has me doing basics. My hw is to spend 10mins a day doing something out of bed which doesn't include TV. So it could be a shower, cleaning, sitting outside in the sun, going for a walk, art, etc. My Pdoc wants me to sit outside in the sun for an hour everyday... T reduced it for right now to once a week for 10mins.
