that I like being 'sick'?
I had an huge breakdown this time last year...I was so sick I climbed into bed and didn't come out for months...I went to graduations and other celebrations where I should have been happy and celebrate...but I just wanted them to end so I could go back to bed and be sick...
now, for the last few days I've felt like another breakdown is coming...all I want to do is sleep and watch tv to get my mind off all the problems in my life that I cant solve,..
yes I've been seeing a doctor...even went to talk to a counselor this month...and I have medications...but I don't have any feelings....I don't care about anything or anyone...
I had a bunch of weird dreams last night and now I am just to exhausted to try to do anything to resolve a difficult situation I have looming!!!
last year when I got this bad, i thought of checking myself into a hospital...I haven't considered that yet this time ...but then again, I've never wanted to hurt myself or anyone else...not last time not this time...
I just don't have any feelings ... no motivation... no nothing... I feel completely empty except for the fact that I am hungry but don't have anything to eat....
oh what to do? what to do?

You know what is best for you. If you think being in a hospital is the right thing than that's what you need to do. At the minimum you need to contact your doctor and let them know what is going on. They might be able to give you a med change to help. But you have to do it for yourself. Put your needs first. Take care of you
I have to drag myself out of bed every morning... I would much rather escape into the world of dreams ... tough but what I need to do.. I have also been trying to get up earlier- easier now than when it is dark and cold.. also makes it better for me to fall asleep at night-- last thing I want to do is start thinking too much before bed!
As for the hospital...it might help. They offer coping skills. If you think it will help and you feel you need to we will be here to support you all the way.

I can't bring myself to do anything ...
I just got up cause I heard a noise outside...looked ...didn't see anything ...opened the door to get the mail....walked to the kitchen...saw that my kitty cat needs some food...walked to the food and saw all the dirty dishes that need washing...before I can fix myself some soup...got frustrated and just walked out of the kitchen...now I have to go to the bathroom and then ....back to bed....this is too hard to handle...I am so tired....
I've been 'sick' for so long...that no one believes me anymore...that I am sick...
even I don't believe it...if your sick...you go to the dr...do what the dr says...and you get better...
well, I've done all that ...but ...I haven't gotten better!!! ...instead I've gotten worse....how the hell can that be?
ugh...i am just so frustrated with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
on my worst/horrible/tough days I get out one of my favorite books or movies and I make myself do something for 15 minutes (I actually set a timer) even if it is just washing my face and brushing my teeth...then I treat myself with a half hour of my book or movie (again the time) then 15 minutes of something that I need/should do-- most of the times it works... on better days I go 45 of 'work' 15 of 'fun'
