I don't know if it's just that I've got my sleep hours backwards, but I've never slept this much. I try to motivate myself to get up in the daytime and get out, but I can't even get dressed most of the time. I feel like crap being inside all the time, and I miss my animals (my boyfriend feeds them when I'm this down). I sleep much of the time and mess on my phone when I'm up, usually at night. I don't want to sleep like this. I want to cry, but I can't. I want to run away, but I don't have the money, and I want to take my stuff with me. All I want right now is the trash gone, and I can't do it myself. I can handle exposure when I'm not overwhelmed, but I can't like this. I don't know why I'm posting this. Everyone says the same thing, but they're not in my shoes or my head. My sister's in the hospital with pneumonia and a bunch of other problems, so I'm worried about her, too. I hate myself. I wish someone could make me feel better.

I'm sorry you are having such a tough time. I don't know what to say to help you feel better except you're not alone and I support you and I care. Do you have a pdoc or take medication? I remember those days of my depression...sleeping so much and not being able to do anything. I sympathize.
Thanks for this!

Yes, I have a pdoc and meds, and I'm going to talk to him today about the current situation and possible med change. Thanks.

He's putting me back on Anafranil, working back to 300 mg, plus the two Xanax (1 mg, I think), three Paxil (60 mg), and Prozac (I forget the dosage, but I think it's the lowest).

People keep trying to push me into ERP, but he said I don't need that right now, I'm not ready for it.

My physician said it's too many meds. He said Prozac and Paxil should never be given together. I'm going to call my physician Monday with some more questions.
