cant even move

On the bad days, I wake up with this strange inability to be mobile. That sounds strange, but its like there are tiny weights attached to every inch of my body, and moving becomes an extreme hassle. Just getting out of bed, or brushing my teeth, or walking to class drains me. Does anyone else get this way?

Where does all my energy go, anyway? It's as if it has leaked out of my ears and I'm left a lifeless corpse. I go to sleep early and wake up early and yet I still have zero energy.

Depression does that, I guess. But does it just strike on random days? Like is it only when you're really depressed? I have low energy days just before a bad day sometimes. I am so backward!

motivation hun. thats all i can say. Some people who get depressed lack serious motivation. I can relate im one of them. Cant get up and have a shower, some days i dont do anything besides sit and read a book... no eating, showering nothing.

You can get past this though hun. Your doing great by not letting it get the better of you. Your still at least doing the things you need to do despite how hard it may seem and that is the best way to over come this.

Please dont let it get the better of you and just keep getting up and doing these things. You are fighting it and thats the best thing that you can do.x

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
