I can identify in a lot of ways. It's just that my preferred location is the sofa instead of the bed. And no, I don't want to go anywhere. Most weeks, the only place I go is to my T's office. And even then, showering and doing all the things that I need to do to get ready feels overwhelming and makes me tired. I already don't sleep much due to a recurring nightmare, so I'm tired enough to begin with! My T is telling me to push myself a little harder about the going out. I did last night, so that she won't think of me as uncooperative. But I spent a lot of the time feeling pissed at her for "making" me do this.

Hi rrr1,
I am suffering from some of your same symptoms. I prefer to sleep all day long when I am in my depressive state. It's my escape also from the almost crippling anxiety I have. As long as I'm asleep, I'm not thinking anxious or depressive thoughts. I, too, don't like to get out of the house unless I just absolutely have to. And taking a shower is such a chore. You may need to see your pdoc for an adjustment in meds. I had an adjustment in mine but I haven't changed yet. I just got them. Take care and I hope you get to feeling much better. I know that it is frustrating. I wish I could give you some better advice but I'm in the same boat as you are. droopy __________________ </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font> "As I sit on the balcony, a large flock of birds, maybe fifty or sixty swallows swirl around in large circles swishing past my observation post, sometimes in silence, more often with a terrible shrieking.

Hey, there is a theme here. Some of us have chatted in chat about what an effort it is to shower and dress. I too want to stay in bed and don't want to go out to work etc. But I have to. I support my family. For me I am unclear if it's depression and I need a med change, or grief. There is a third possibility, that it is related to the pain meds I take. bed is my favorite place. sleep is my favorite state. I hope we all find things to be awake and alive for.

I find it hard to move when I am depressed. Even when I am well and happy, I think sleep is wonderful, a great hobby IMHO. Of course, when I am well and happy, I am less likely to sleep more than 8 hours, and more likely to want to shower, eat.
When I am depressed, I sit like a lump, TV on in the background, computer on my lap, and it's hard to get motivated to leave the chair to go to the bathroom. Yup, been there, didn't like it. __________________

Everyday it seems to be a fight to get out of bed. I too sleep horribly at night and tend to wake up several times. I wake up feeling exhausted and never well rested.
Depression stinks like that. It can make us feel lethargic and tired all the time. It can take a lot of effort to want to motivate ourselves to get up and move. If I really feel as though I am feeling crappy I usually allow myself a little extra time in bed, even if it is just cuddling and not sleeping. Sooner or later though I tell myself. "Get up you cannot stay here forever." Do you have a therapist? This should be something you should talk to him/her about.

I can't EVER get enough sleep. One of those things where "too much is never enough." And on that note, I think I'm gonna go back to bed.

*sex* what is that again? sigh. if you are depressed and can still do that, then that's a good thing. Though I am no longer married, I recall that lack of sex is often the main complaint of the spouse with regards to their spouse's depression. At least I don't have that to consider.
I like wtf's comment... it's hard to MOVE when depressed... __________________ |
