DepressedRecluse 03/20/2014

I am sitting here contemplating whether or not to go hang out with some friends...this is the only time of the year, I see them and the only time we get to hang out...and I know I would have a great time...but...

but...I don't feel like getting dressed...

but ...I don't have the energy to drive down there...

but...I can't decide whether to take my truck, my bike, or the train...

but...I don't really feel very well...

but...I don't really like the entertainment (I don't think I do, don't really know)

but...I don't want to spend money
but I sure would like a steak sandwich, a souvenir cup, and of course the obligatory Milk Punch drink...

but ... I just can't decide whether to go or not to go...

I wanted to go last night...but I gave into my not feeling well and went to sleep instead...and then I have to go do laundry and have an appt in the morning...so what do I do?

UGH...I really hate these feelings of lack of interest in any of the things that I used to enjoy...this is frustrating!!!!

FUCK MY LIFE...I just want it all to be over so I won't have to worry about anything...but ...how selfish is that?

FUCK - SHIT - DAMN.

Well? ...

You need to get those 2 words out of your mouth right now. And those are can't and won't. And also the word but.... Get yourself dressed, go have a good time, and you will feel better all the way around. Go on now, go get dressed and get going. Let us know how much fun you had and what you did. Hugs GB

I know the feeling! Lately, it just seems like too much work to get myself ready to go anywhere. I don't get out much anymore, but when I do, I usually feel a lot better... unless a panic attack sneaks up on me. That's one of the main things that's been keeping me in the house lately. There's that, and like you said, loss of interest in things. I used to love going out and partying with my friends. Now, it's the last thing I wanna do. People tell me it's because I've grown up and grown out of it. I say, they don't know what depression and anxiety is! I g

Sorry, I think my laptop is possessed! I don't know where that "l g" business came from. Lol.

Boy can I relate DP......but, you know what? I've made myself go a few times and then a few times I allowed myself to give in and stay home.
What scares me is that I will sink deeper and deeper into the depression and miss life and get sicker and sicker. SO....I make myself do things when I really don't want to do anything but climb back into my bed which is my only escape. Sometimes, I feel alot better and glad that I went. I got to laugh and relax and enjoy a good song that I haven't heard in years.
AND to relate to someone else.
Hang in there.... :)
