I dread getting out of bed every morning. Each day, the alarm goes off and I hit snooze 4-5 times. My boyfriend thinks its because I am tired. I just don't want to have to face the day. My life has gone to shit and I just feel like I can't. I struggle with dealing with mundane tasks, I dread school and work, I don't even enjoy doing things in my little free time because I am that miserable. I feel like I'm going crazy. I hate myself for being like this. I don't want to be here anymore. I was planning on writing alot more, but I realize that just about sums it up really.

Hugs you sound like your. Overwhelmed and depressed. Can you try taking a break from school or lightening the class load? Hugs here if you need to vent I have been there.

Right there with you at this point. For me depression seems to be like a wave with highs and lows. I just keep waiting for the next high moment to come along and hope that the low is not to far down. Unfortunately the highs never seem to last as long as the lows. I hate the spiral downward and agree you feel like you are going crazy. I think that is because you have little control over how far you spiral down. It is like being on a ride and you just don't know what will happen next. It sucks, it is scary.

I hope you feel better soon!

Your not alone obviously. I am coming of this low now for 4 months. I was the same way not wanting to get out of bed, go to work, see anyone. I had to force myself because I knew it was expected and that made it even worse and made me mad. It makes me realize this is not a free country, we are expected to be a certain way and work or we can't live at all. It really is sad to think that our world has come to this point and it's only going to get worse!!! I probably didn't help much there. Stay strong and if you have to make yourself at least get outside and get some air.

Your profile doesn't say if your on meds or in therapy they both work well together.
