and i don't want to do anything to feel well...i just feel so sad....
I had a pretty good dr's visit...healthwise...but I am still so sad...
and I don't like asking for help...for anything....
I used to be strong independent and self sufficient...and now I just don't want to do anything...
I do want to go back to school...but I don't want to ask for the help I need to get back into school....because I don't handle rejection very well...and I'm afraid I would be asked questions that i don't want to answer...
I just want to do what i want to do...but I can't...
And i don't know what to do about my mom...cause she needs help...and I can't do it...and I don't want to ask for help!!!!...its my pride...you know...
she's the same way...she doesn't like asking for help....and neither do i...but I don't want to help either...I don't want to help myself or her or anyone...
I just don't want to do anything!!! NOTHING....i have no desire to do anything...not even eat...I take my meds and eat cause i have to...if I don't I'll feel even worse than I do now!!!!
but this overwhelming feeling of sadness is really killing me
sorry for the rambling rant...i'll go do nothing now....bye!

maybe its the doing nothing that's making you even worse? best thing to do is to FORCE yourself to do things even when you really really don't want to. itl feel crappy while your forcing yourself but after youl feel so much better. even just something small, doesn't have to be a massive thing. just baby steps.

I know the feeling. I was just talking to hubby about it today. What may sound so simple becomes difficult when suffering. I'm just pulling out of a slump right now. My hubby suffers depression too. He has talked to the Dr. They are going to try different meds. If you have been on your meds for awhile then maybe its time for a change. It's a very tough road for us. Keep at your doctor. You are not alone. I wish I could be of more help. Just wanted you to know I hear you. Hugs.
