I have been feeling particularly hopeless lately. It seems like I keep hitting roadblocks. And I'm so frustrated that I can't even work or go to school because everything seems so overwhelming. It feels like I'm doomed to a fate of laziness and relying upon my mother. I don't mean to seem hyperbolic. Things just feel so unbearable yet I don't want to ask for anymore help because it feels like I'm a burden or I've tapped out all the resources that another disappointing outcome would be just that, disappointing at best.

Has anyone else been so consumed by their depression that they haven't been able to even do the seemingly simple tasks of life? And has it been a long time? Did you get out of it? How did you cope?

I'm sorry, I just want to cry and I can't even do that. It such an uncomfortable feeling, all of this, and I don't know what to do anymore. I feel stuck and the people that are "in my corner" just seem frustrated and annoyed by me. I'm sure it's just my perception but it hurts nonetheless. As the old adage goes, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I understand. There are many days that come around that I can't think of a good reason to get out of bed in the morning. All I can tell you is the same things my support people tell me. Take your meds, keep your psych appointments, get involved, pick up a hobby, volunteer. Just get through today.

When I'm in a severe depression I take it hour by hour. A whole day, or even a half day, is too much to face. So I tell myself...just go through this hour. When that's done, it's just go through this hour. And I remember to feel proud of myself for each hour I get through.
Thanks for this!

....sometimes even 20 minutes is a victory for me. Don't forget to praise yourself, even though it feels like nothing, it's surprising how self praise can help you if you're persistent, even when you don't really mean it at first.

Thanks Laurabeth. ((((((steelcurtain27))))))
