God it just feels like I can't do anything right. I'm sleeping 20 hours a day and not eating. I have no zip. I'm on high doses of antidepressants yet they don't work. I keep trying. I am going to therapy. I want so much to be better. I feel like I am climbing a mountain.

Lots of hugs coming your way!

I know how hard it is to climb that mountain. But man oh man, when you get to the top, you'll be able to look out at the world from a perspective you never thought you'd see, and it's going to be worth every step of that climb. I promise.

Hang in there!

((kayti))

This kind of Mountain Climbing is not one of my favorite activities, either...I'd much prefer the kind with fresh air and beautiful scenery.

It's harder work to climb the mountain of depression, isn't it? I'm sorry you feel so unhappy right now, but I have to be honest and say that I am glad, however, that you are taking the steps towards feeling better.

Keep posting and let us know how you are doing, kayti. Most of us have climbed that mountain, and we needed support to do it.
We care and we understand...

I'm just a frog of little brain and have no medical education but I do have a suggestion. Next time you see your pdoc see if he will give you a drug call Concerta (or something like it). It's used to treat ADD but it's an upper. It's been a life savor for me.

I usually wake up in a drug stupor around 4:00 am to go to the bathroom. At that time I take the pill. Then I'm back in bed and back to sleep. But I'll wake up an hour or so later. And I'm actually able to get out of bed.

Told my pdoc he can take everything else away but don't touch my Concerta. It is the only thing that gets me out of bed. I spend some days just crying and moping around but at least I'm out of bed.

ps: there is a generic now for the drug but I don't know what the name is.

Keep climbing that mountain. I know you can do it.

The only way to climb a mountain is to take it step by step. And if a part of the trail become impassable, go back a bit, and go a different way. But keep stepping.
And even though the view is best from the top of the mountain, there are still some amazing things to see closer to the bottom. If you need the time, sit, rest, get energy to continue. And try to see the trees... the animals... everything that inhabits the lower regions.

easier said than done.

But, step by step we can climb it together
