I'm new to this blogging so I apologize ahead of time. Another morning feeling down and not even wanting to get out of bed. It never gets easy. After so many years I would think I would have it down pat as to how I could get up and put on that smile everyone expects to see. I used to be so good at it however now it's just hard. Nearly impossible. I swear I have tried all types of medications given by dr after dr. They have all caused it to be worse or given me the worse side effects ever. None of them work so I have to deal with this by myself. Except everyone around me of course end up paying for it too! It's not fair to them.
I haven't been to work in about 3 weeks now because of how bad I feel. Thank God I have a job where even though the attendance policy is crazy I can at least take this time to try and get some help. Which I have tried, I have gone from dr to dr and all they want is my money. None of them seem to actually care about me. When did that become ok??? I go to them for help and all I get is more pain because I have more bills. Bills I can't pay because I can't get out of bed.
So I sit here wondering why can't I just get up and do stuff!?! Anything!! My family is going out shopping, cleaning, doing laundry and a million other things. I have no desire to even get up and take a shower let alone leave the house....I feel alone, empty...just like, what's the point?

Hello Alexa, welcome to psych central.
Have you tried actual therapy? It takes some time to make progress in therapy but it is worth the work. Sending you lots of hugs

Oh, if I could only answer that question, not only for you but for me and a whole bunch of others!

Congratulations for posting, Alexa. Actually, I suspect you've got a lot more to write - you're welcome to do so. "Venting welcome here."

I'm just a frog of little brain but Rohag and gimmeice are right. We are glad you have joined our forum so post away.

Depression is an illness that tells you lies. You will feel yourself dropping into deep dark places. Friends and family don't understand even if sympathetic.

Since you are not doing well with drugs perhaps it is time for a change. Therapy may work better for you.

All I know for sure is if you keep posting we will be here to listen.

Another day

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
