Hey boogie, saw you're having a tough time and wanted to chime in. Like someone else alluded to, there's a chance that too much sleep/time in bed is contributing to your depression.

I know how it is, I've had depressive episodes where for an entire month I could do nothing but stay in bed for 20 hours a day. At that point, the only thing that helped pull me out of it was a significant medication change. Within 3-4 days of that change, I was up and interacting with my family for 16 hours a day. Two weeks later I was able to return to work.

When is your next psychiatrist appointment? If it's more than a week out, I would suggest a phone consultation or urgent/emergency visit. If that's not possible, you might want to consider going to the ER and speaking with their doctor. They can decide if it's important enough to get you IP for a short while to do a med change.

Best of luck to you. Keep fighting it. There will be better days ahead.
