What do you to get over the feeling of guilt or shame when you just spend the whole day in bed? I'm sure I easily could've spent several more hours sleeping, but I started feeling bad about it.

I was taught that guilt is healthy. It motivates you to do something about a behavior. Shame is when you internalize it and think you are a bad person because of it. Not healthy. If the guilt got you out if bed maybe that's good. If you think you are a horrible person for spending so much time in bed than not so good.
If you are severely depressed a lot of things you just can't help and have to cut yourself some slack. Acceptance and self foregiveness. I often have to just let myself be depressed with the symptoms that go with it and accept myself as I am. While at the same time I am doing what I can to treat it. All kinds of treatment but often the treatment doesn't work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For me the SSRI's like Prozac have always caused interrupted sleep. I dream like crazy and wake up every two to three hours. Have to get up for 5 or 10 minutes and then can go right back to sleep and dream like crazy again. I figured out I wasn't getting any stage 4 deep sleep which is what we really need. Its hard to know because depression messes up sleep too. I really hate to take a med to solve a side effect but I take Remeron for sleep and it has worked great. I have tried trazadone, nyquil, ambien, and nothing has worked as good as remeron. I get very good sleep with it and don't feel hungover or anything. safer than benzo's or ambien.
