Sleep is a good idea. Sometimes sleeping saves us from ourselves. When you sleep you cant cut or worry. Try to be strong. Try to do whatever it will take to keep you from cutting yourself. Hard times are among many of us. Whether it be financial, health, ect. We are all going through something. Be strong and you will make it.

That is exactly what depression does. Makes you so you cant feel anything. I cant tell you how to start feeling better but I sure hope it happens soon.. Peace and hugs

your husband is not your therapist get help or he will have to give this up(unless you are lucky and he doesn't mind it)then you both play squash with the drama coz you like it x

The only trouble with sleep is when we use it as a means to escape and we oversleep. Your husband is right to want to encourage you to try to get out of the house. Take it from someone who used to be a professional sleeper (18 hours/day) and who never wanted to leave the house. Forcing myself to get out of bed and get out was one of the best things I did for myself. Do you have a friend you enjoy being with who could accompany you the first few dozen times? Also, are you seeing a therapist or getting any kind of help? One tiny step at a time. Hugs.

Are you still online hon? I would be happy to talk to you and listen to anything you need to say. How can I help you?

I was reading in your profile that you feel you have every reason in the world to be happy. you have a great husband and children. So this is pretty obviously imbalance related depression in which case medication is usually helpful, unfortunately sometimes it can be a long and arduous process to find the right medication, in the right amounts, to restore balance.

If Prozac is the only medication you have tried, and it is obviously not working after an adequate amount of time, then you may need to press for a different medication. Your husband can help advocate this for you as well if you do not feel strong enough.

Given that you are feeling suicidal, perhaps hospital admittance where your response to medications can be medically monitored and where you will be kept safe, may also be very much worth considering.

You have no reason to die and all the reason in the world to live, but your brain needs some help to see this.

I've always found that faking throws me deeper into the downward spiral.Accepting the situation will eventually allow you to take firmer control over it.You can't fight invisible demons.
