That's a very long time to be sleeping on a regular basis. I would suggest considering an appt with your primary care doc

More like it's hibernating. Maybe even healing.

If you choose deliberately to take a negative spin on things and put that out there into the universe, you deserve to get back what you put out. it is impossible to take someone seriously about depression if they wilfully push themselves into it.

I would suggest getting a sleep study done to determine if you have a sleep disorder. Good luck and hugs.

U SOUND LIKE U R NOT FEELING GOOD.

It is very important to get a professional's opinion. I am sorry that you are suffering with this.

Im sleeping straight through. I get up at no specific time ingest then an hour later expel (no need to be graphic) then back to sleep. The only time this routine is interrupted is if someone calls or Im forced to go out. Once I get home I lay down and Im asleep within minutes. I haven't changed my meds or my surroundings its like my body has finally said this is enough we are done here.

I'M sorry you feel so terrible! I have seen the deepest darkest crevices of hell about 5 years ago. I wished for death. Thank God I am still alive! I have been in a medium depression since then due to chronic pain. Lately, I have been trying to do at least one thing a day. I am starting to come out of it now, if I can just keep the momentum going. I hope you start feeling better soon! I have been there and I understand what you are going through. Sly

I believe you are sleeping so long because you are in a bad state of depression and don't want to deal with life. Too many damn things have been happening to you all at once lately, plus all the problems from before. I think all of us here can understand that. You have gotten great advice from everyone here. You will recover in your own time. Sometimes you have to just go through the funk to get through to the other side of it. Big hugs and prayers for you.

hope you can come out of this dark rabbit hole you seem to be in....my shrink would call that escape sleeping....

don't you have to work? I think I would have to get up to go work....anyway sorry

Honey, will you promise me that you will go see your primary doctor and ask for some serious blood work? Everything they can do. I know that your depression has a great deal to do with you sleeping so much but this is not like you and I'm worried that it's more than just your depression. Promise me??? Love you darlin.... Hugs

good advice here, could be physical pushing you into this sleep pattern. not just depression alone. Please talk to your family doctor. this could be thyroid, many things iron low, blood pressure. someone said sleep disorder, was thinking that also. Hope things get better for you.
