(((doorknob)))

I can totally relate. All I do when I'm like that is take baby steps, hell, even if it only means brushing my teeth. I hope this passes for you soon

Adding pms and menstruation to depression is a double whammy for sure...
I would take all of the rest you need while you have your period and if the depression continues get to your doc sweetie..
When you feel immobile you need medical treatment
Do you have a friend or family member that can help you out with some chores for a bit?.. Or would you be eligible for home care?
I'm so sorry you're suffering..

Sorry, you are in a bad place for sure. I agree w/ justletmebe, take a baby step by accomplishing a small task. Also agree with suncloud the period time is the worst, and maybe a visit to the doc. would be a good idea.
(Sounds like I just reiterated everyone's advice and really have none of my own - lol)

:( take a little while to guiltlessly just do nothing! As in just relax and have "you time" without feeling guilty about it. Especially since it is that time of the month which also messes with depression.

And remember, you've been here before and came out of it!

I am sending the biggest hug ever!! Do you feel it? Do you feel it? :)

And don't skip your meds!

:(..i know how u feel...as if its not already tough enuff to deal with on its own but u gotta have a visit from the period fairy too...

a rest is good for u today anyway but maybe try n at least do a little somethin to make u feel a bit brighter today..take a nice relaxing bath,that way u can still lay down n u dont have to do anything other then relax..maybe brush ur hair n put a cute barrette or somethin in it..maybe even find a cute shirt u love n wear that..

even when i dont feel like showering for days or brushin my teeth n look n feel like a greasy stankin zombie, i try to force myself to at least put on a bright colored top n some cute pj pants or somethin to make me feel a tiny bit better..sounds stupid i know but ud b surprised at what it can do for ur mood n shit u dont even need to get out of bed to put some clothes on..if u got somethin on the floor close by u like ,just hang off the bed grab it n dress under the covers:)

hope u feel better soon take care of urself!!!

Give yourself a break dear doorknob and just do what you can when you can. You are ill. Take Gina's advice as she always says "do the next right thing".

Hope you feel better soon.

'you been reading my mail??'

same issues exactly bar time of month at present, I think we both need help

thanks every one.
So far I've just been relaxing for the day. I do need to do laundry soon though.

Ugh! hated those "monthly times". They seemed to amplify all the emotions I already had to deal with. I don't miss those times and I promise they will pass.

I get you are feeling crappy but do you think no accomplishing anything might be making you feel worse? Maybe just jump up and "throw" a load of laundry in and start the washer? Maybe when you hear the buzzer that it is done, you will jump up and throw it in the dryer?

I know you don't feel like it, but in the end the action will make you feel better. I always imagine that large pile of clothes growing larger and larger and it drives me crazy knowing it will take 10 times as long to finish it all.

Are you in a place that you need to talk to your doc? If you don't think so and it is just a bad time, roll with it. Know that it will pass and when you walk out of it, you will begin again. Isn't that what our life is about anyway...............always beginning again, over and over??????

From here, you will move forward, one step, than two, than three and before you know it..............a whole load of laundry will be washed, dried, and folded............maybe even put away???? xo
