back in bed at home now, but very tired!

Basically my mood sank low enough for me to avoid social contact for a week, attempt to sleep it off (I literally spent the whole week asleep - does anyone else just get too tired to function when they are in depressed mode??) and in the midst of all the confusion and exhaustedness Id only forgot to renew my prescription then didn't have the willpower to even pick up the phone to see my doc...

4 days later with med withdrawal, my mood sank even lower, and with a family member dying and a friends sons funeral in the mix that equalled rock bottom for me.

I am now back safe, with emergency meds and feeling a little better for someone else taking care of me for a change.

I hope tomorrow is another notch in the right direction on the mood scale for me. Thank you for being there for me this week guys xx

When I had my worst, longest depressive episode I basically slept around the clock. When I wasn't sleeping I was in bed, staring at the wAll. I got up to shower once in awhile but I didn't eat except for maybe a piece of toast or some cereal. Thy even locked me out of my room when I went to the hospital but I would just lay on the back couch instead. I totally get the exhaustion.

I'm glad you're feeling better! This is a step in the rigt direction. Sometimes you just need more hell than you can get outside.

don't beat youeself up about it. hospitalization can be a good thing and usually is. you have time to get stable, get meds and take time to sort things out. things will only get better from here.

I've been hospitalized twice and each time I was thankful after. Just keep making steps forward. There is no shame in getting the help you need.
