I am so tired lately. Friday night I slept for 15 hours dragged myself out of bed only because I had to watch our youngest while the older went to a party. Barely stayed awake while watching him. After being up only 4 hours I went back to sleep. Don't know how long I slept last night but I think it was at least 14 hours. Today I have to take the older one to another party.
My whole body hurts from laying down so much. When will this depression ever let up. I have to go back to work Tuesday and won't have anymore time off until the holidays. I don't know how I will make it through. The only good thing is the suicidal thoughts have lessened, but not gone away, since I have been off but I am afraid they may come back and be worse. |

I'm glad the suicidal thinking has lessened. ((hugs)) I hope you are able to get through the days at work. If it doesn't let up, can you see your doctor and maybe take some sick time?

I just saw the doc on Thursday and see him again in 2 weeks. He is keeping a close eye on me. I see my therapist twice a week. I don't have any sick time left. My doc said he would sign whatever paperwork he needs to to get me time off but my wife doesn't want me to do that.

can you talk to your wife? can your doc talk to your wife? sometimes we have to do whatever it takes to take care of ourselves, even if it frustrates/annoys/upsets family and friends... My wife used to be frustrated with my need to take time off, but then she saw me at my worst. She's now more supportive (but she still gets really frustrated with me and my "issues").
Going to work when you can't function is counter-productive and can end up making you feel worse. That, and it can mess up your work record. Would a day program be an option for you? It keeps you going places (in case the wife wants to make sure you get out of the house) and it can offer extra support. (hugs) |

Did a day program before and never want to do that again. I have talked to her but she wants me out of the house. My therapist says my wife has been great so far so we will try and work within her framework for now.
My wife has been taking up most of the stuff with the kids but I feel like I will owe her if I ever get better. |
