I have not been able to work for 2 weeks now. I just can't seem to move. I guess it took me awhile to see that maybe this is a major depressive episode because I don't feel anything. I just want to sleep. I think it's a combination of a couple things.
My nephew committed suicide last month. It was terrible. My family sometimes seems to be trying to shove us into financial ruin. The latest fiasco being a 600 phone bill that literally blew my mind. My kids let one of my pets get loose and we have yet to find him. Ok, so effexor isn't cutting the mustard. This will be the third major depression I've suffered in my life. This one is different. I'm not crying all the time, I don't feel suicidal, I just don't feel anything. |

You need to get to your doctor as soon as possible and let him know that your meds are making you worse not better. The sooner you let them know the sooner they can change the med to get a better result; please don't wait, Rhiannon

I promised I'd go to work tomorrow but I just can't do it. I'm glad it's almost monday. I need some help here. I'm 46. I've had a total of three serious depressions but this has been the worst by far.

We know just how bad it is to be in a deep depression it's not fun and it feels like you're just dying. You'll feel better at work do try to give it a go and see how you feel. But don't push yourself too hard. You really do need to see your doctor; if you can't get in to see to see them then you need to take yourself to the ER and let someone take care of you Rhiannon

Apathy is an expression of depression. You've got it and you know you've got it. The hardest part will be taking action, which is obvious since you can hardly get up to get to work. Once you've got the ball rolling it should be easier.
Just remember: "Some-times in our lives/we all have pain/we all have sorrow/ but, if we are wise/ we know that there's always tomorrow."
