Hi dayzee...I do know how this feels.

Back in 1994 when I got very depressed I was aggressively treated with medicine. In that time I went through huge changes mentally and physically...very quickly.

In a few weeks time I was unable to walk one block alone. Then for me to walk from the house to the car was extremely difficult.

The only time I would go out was to my therapist 2x a week.

My husband at the time would force me to go see my son or to try to get me to do things and it was literally painful.

I didn't want to talk or see anyone or go anyplace.

I can stop and think and remember this overwhelming feeling. I can compare the feeling of walking alone 1 block to suffocating.

It's been years and many changes have occured. I'm off of many of those medicines. In that time my body also has taken drastic changes. I guess you could say externally I look way better, but internally it's now a minefield...sorta like an old war zone w/a few old minefields scattered about, but nobody knows where or when they will come out or be stumbled upon.

I don't think I've been any help except that I do know how you're feeling and it was something that developed and it was something that did get better after time.

I hope you are feeling better.

If you ever want to talk I'm here.

Take care
Eva
