Designs, I can relate to you - those nothing days and staying inside the house, I feel quite ashamed of it. I have to force myself to do anything, and feel like such a non-contributor to society !

Sometimes forcing yourself to make contact with others can give you that much needed boost, but sometimes when they don't understand it can make you feel worse ( specially when they've got lives to live and yours has stopped ! ).

I hope you choose 'other ppl' well - a little bird tells me they are pretty good on here....

I am blessed with friends and family too and ask myself 'what have I got to be depressed about ?' - but I have realised that I could have all the external things in th world and I would still be like this. It seems to be about doing too much and not looking after yourself over periods of years, even a lifetime.............

I hope things begin to improve once you get those meds.

Keep on one step/day at a time......Poppet
