I just don't care anymore things seem to be piling up things are right around the corner and I just can't deal with it. I have gotten to the point of Not caring. What should I do? How do I get over this slump?

Be sure you spend at least six hrs in bed resting-1computer, TV etc off, even if you can't sleep. Eat at least two decent meals a day. Get out and go somewhere, walk, get some exercise every day for fresh air. Every hr DO SOMETHING that's piling up. Wash ONE dish. Make ONE phone call. Just DO it.

Can you make yourself do this? I can force this much out our me, 4 out of 7 days on my worst week ... and when that slips to 3 of 7 I go to pdoc and say, "Danger, Will Robinson." So far he hasn't had to hospitalize me, but he's had to fix me with major med changes or something.

Don't wait too long to get help.

Hey Clint

I agree with what Roadie...

I know ECT helped you A LOT ! Maybe you need to go back for some more treatments ?... Go back to the posts you had when you had gone thru the ECT and were feeling so much better, read them !

Call your Pdoc tommorrow!

Stay safe and KNOW that things can, will and always get better

Thanks roadie that's a good idea I went for a bike ride today which was nice exercise is always helpful but I just feel myself slipping slowly again ugh. Will do more things, catch it before it gets worse. I just have an ssa hearing coming up and Christmas it's all just getting to me I think.

Ruh-roh Roadie - you probably don't mean stay in bed for 6 hours on top of sleeping for for 8, right? I may have read that wrong the first time thru !! . But I like your suggestions.

Do you care that you don't care? If not, why are you writing this. You clearly care on some level so, start there. You're not as bad off as you think.

Besides why does it matter if you "care"? You're using emotional reasoning, no?

hmmm... i used to believe that, things always get better, but hey, in the case of my life, things always get worse

why do we even HAVE to care? Just do what you know you should be doing, and don't worry bout if you care or not. lol. it's what I do

I had two amazing days and now I'm back in bed just about to cry. I can't stand it I missed my mess two days in a row and already my moods are out of control

we are professional emotion handlers! We are like the garbage men of emotions. We learn what to do and how to act when we feel certain ways. We learn to use tools like anger when we are depressed and we can change our perspectives on the fly.

We are great this way, don't ever forget that!
