I'm so depressed. I haven't been this depressed in a long time. What is worse is the summer is usually better. But this summer is just awful. I can't stand it. Why does everything hurt so much?

I feel so bad for you ((((((((((googley)))))) I hope that you are doing the good things for yourself like exercising, activities and such. You may need to talk to your doc about your meds. Therapy needs to support you better and meet your needs
Thanks for this!

So sorry to hear you are in such pain. Sending you my thoughts and wishes to feel better...

Are you in therapy still this summer?
Have you tried physical therapy?

Hi, Googley! I'm sorry about the "summer low."

What's different about this summer from previous summers?

Thank you all for the support. It means so much to me. This summer is just really stressful. I also changed Ts and will only be with this one for a short time. And there was a period where I was only able to take part of my meds because of cost and so I am just now getting back to my regular dosage. All this put together has just thrown me into a tailspin. Thank you for caring.
Thanks for this!

Hey Googley I'm glad you're working to get more stable again, and are getting back on normal dose of medications.

I know how tailspins can go *sends many safe hugs*

Thank you.

The other problem is that this time is different than other times. Usually I still care about things, and this time I don't care at all. I can barely get out of bed. I sleep like 16 hours a day. Way too much. I don't care about school, I don't care about life. I just want to curl up in bed and sleep.

I feel just like Eeyore looks. But I don't have any Pooh Bear or Robin to cheer me up IRL. I just have my empty apartment.
Thanks for this!

I've been at the stage of not caring before. I want to let you know that it got LOADS better, and even though I'm low right now I do care

I know you've been having a lot of trouble in school. How many more semesters do you have? Is there any way to take a semester off? It sounds like you could use a bit of time (I know your parents may not like it but have you thought about it at all?)

(((((((turquoisesea))))))) I know you are here and I appreciate your support so much. I hope that you are feeling better soon.

I still have two years of school left because I'm going to be going part time. I just can't deal with full time. Luckily since I'm in grad school, my parents have no say in what I do.

I just want to care again. I feel so weak, mentally and physically. I just want to sleep.

I am in the same place - summer is usually better for me but this past 6 months has been terrible but I want to crawl out of the hole I am in so that is probably a good sign

googley! I'm sending you a big ol' hug and lots of love! I was where you are just a few months ago...and it got better with the right meds and time. Of course, that didn't make me feel any better when I was down in the depths of depression...it always seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes we have to dig a new hole in our tunnel and let the light in. There's lots of us that are here for you - give me a shovel and I'll help you dig.

Graduate school can really be overwhelming - even part time - so don't beat yourself up over it. Graduate school in the summer - ick! Too much work and not enough time to enjoy what you are learning. I meant what I said in your other thread - send me a draft of your paper and I'll give you some feedback. I don't mind at all! Actually, I would enjoy helping you.
Thanks for this!

Good idea to take part time, I'm proud of you for being able to make that decision. I understand *hugs*

I was going to ask how you were feeling Googley but I read your other post needing a hug. I'm still thinking of you and hoping that you do start the upward climb really soon
