Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I sleep 14-19 hours per day. Rarely leaving my bedroom. I have been this way for a while now. I eat one meal a day, drink water and bathe. I will take out trash once a week, wash clothes, etc. I just joined this support group because my family are now realizing that I don't leave my home unless I have to. I make up excuses: always proclaiming I am sick or ill. The last real bad seizure I had, really made me scared to go out in the yard, people, etc. I woke up on the floor covered in blood, due to chewing up my tongue. It must have been violent because I had bruises all over my body. I sleep with pillows around me and the panic attacks will start in my throat. It goes on and on. I go over it in my mind and I know I cannot continue to exist like this. Wish I could find a solution...praying for an answer.
Have you talked to health care professionals trained in helping people deal with seizures? Are there meds that you have tried?
Sorry if you have been there and done all of that.
Very gentle hugs
