So I think my depression is lifting but I can't manage to get out of bed and it got worse. Last night fell asleep around 9 pm and wanted to wake up at 4 to go to the gym. I woke up and hit snooze till I said f it and set an alarm for work (2nd job, which I love) that alarm went off and I said I can be late let me get more sleep. They called me and asked where I'm at a little after 9. I went in apologized profusely since I dint want to lose that job and was told it is a verbal warning don't let it happen again.
Why am I so much for sleep. I want to get in with my day and not sit around but once I'm in bed it is so hard to get out. Anyone had any experience like this? How did you overcome it?

Have you felt any difference with your med adjustments?

I've been feeling better and I didn't take seroquel just cause I thought I wasn't going to get up. Seems seroquel isn't the problem.

Well my regular job is sorta weird with schedule. One week I'll work 56 hours. Then the following week 24. It is all 12 hour shifts. Except for one day which is 8. With 2nd job about 15 hrs a week give or take a couple hrs. But I love working at the second one. Just drag feet when I have to go in.

I didn't make it out of bed either. Slept a lot more than normal, then called in to work, then slept most of the day. I'm already dreading my next shift because it means I have to get off the couch.

I signed off of work at about 1pm. Grabbed a bite to eat and fell asleep. I'm still in bed. I can't even get myself up to eat. I don't know what to eat. I just want food to magically appear here and go to sleep forever. I'm tempted to call my mom to have her come help me, but I'm too independent-minded to do that. I can't ask for help.
I'm also wondering if I should go into the office more often. I now only go in two days a week. But I'm OK those two days because I'm around other people instead of home alone. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread, boogiesmash, with my problems. But I'm right there with you these days.. |

I can totally relate to your post. Getting out of bed for me can be overwhelming and then if I have to get out of the house it is even harder. Bipolar is so strange in that some days I'm I'm fine and other days the depression just completely wins and there is nothing I can do about it. It's been like this over 10 years. I have finally had to file for disability.

Yes, I wasn't feeling good yesterday and called off work then called off again today and slept the entire day away, I know I have to go to work tomorrow but all I care about right now is sleep, I didn't think it was depression either. I don't know what my problem is right now

I'm living with my mother in law and she makes me feel lazy. Can't stand me sleeping alot. I also have hep c so I have two chronic diseases with fatigue being common factor. I don't want to constantly tell her " I have depression". She just thinks I should get up.
I feel like crap because she is judging me. Eventually I guess I won't care anymore about what she think. She is helping financially so I'm kina stuck. My point, CANNOT get outta BED. |
