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'm back here asking the same stupid question and not coming up with an answer.
I don't know what to do or how to do what I know i need to do. Like the other day, I just got up at 11:30 because my body just won't let me sleep anymore...so I take my meds (which I didn't do last night, again). and now I need to go make me some thing to eat...but I don't have the stupid energy....
I laid awake for a couple of hours just thinking...and figured out that I need to go back to work if I can...but I can't get up the nerve/energy to email my supervisor to see if I can even come back to work.
I need to go to my mom's house to explain to her what is going on. That I am sick, but don't have the financial resources to get better...but I can't do that either...cause I feel like such a failure as a daughter. My mother is 93 years old and the strongest person I know. And the only thing I wanted to do is be like her but I've failed. I failed at everything.
I need to get the energy to go to my kid's graduation this coming Friday and Saturday...but I can't even find the energy to enjoy this accomplishment ...
I don't know what to do!!!!!
For the last four years, I've lived my life by saying:
When you don't know what to do, do what you know, till you know what to do.
Well I've reached a point where I don't know what I know to do. I've been struggling with that for a while now. ...do what you know...
I don't know what that is...do you?
What do you do when you don't know what to do?

I don't think you will forgive yourself for missing his graduation, it will just make your depression worse. Take a walk everyday, the sun gives us vitamin D which is important for depression. Even is you can't walk a lot, try to go as far as you can. Keep in mind your goal...getting to the graduation. Remember, it is his day and he needs his Mom there.
