It is getting worse every day. I feel a little better for a day or at the most a couple of days and then sink back into depression for a week again before I can get a couple of good days again. I have to push myself to do even self-care like brushing my teeth or take shower. I feel bored yet too lazy and unmotivated to do anything...exercising seems like a chore...I m getting fat and I feel guilty and bad, yet I can't push myself to even walk indoors. Going out of the house seems impossible too. I can't force myself to do housework like clean my room, cook or do laundry. And I am feeling restless inspite of the anhedonia...life seems such a drag.

All I can do is accept that I won't get better and that all I can hope to achieve is having as many good days as possible.

Sorry to hear about your condition. Hugs.
I m on meds already - prozac 20mg - but it's not helping that much. Maybe a higher dosage would have helped but it gets me agitated and delirious, so I have to stick to the 20mg.

Hi Desiree.

So sorry for how you feel right now.

It’s up and down so much for me too.
Keep the hope, we can learn to manage things and to heal.
I had a few months of coping well and enjoying trips and walks...I’ve hit the not so great times again recently , striving to get back to managing things

I’m wishing you well

So sorry for your suffering.

Your description sounds very much like what I go through as well.
I hope we can each find a way to overcome the symptoms of illness and can have full lives.

Life is so difficult....and unfair. Still I have to stay strong. It's not only the depression but my bad luck too...whenever I try to exercise or go out of the house for a walk I m getting hurt in the left knee. Last time I tried jogging I broke a bone in my left foot. When does all this end? When does everything get back to normal? How much stronger do I need to be?

Don't give up. Hang on to that couple of days. Maybe they'll become 3 days, and then 4, and so on..

Thanks! But it's getting more and more difficult. The couple of days won't become 3days, they are decreasing to 1, then to zero....I m getting disheartened.

I am struggling too. It started to seep in a week ago and now seems full bore. I am at the point that I am beginning to lose interest in what gives me happiness and I have absolutely no emotion or excitement over some coming events and activities. I am starting to feel as though I am merely going through the motions.
