Or are you being lazy if you stay home because of it? If you don't want to go to councilors that make you feel suicidal and take drugs that don't help with the real issues, are you selfish?
If you want to feel better instead of worse are you morally deficient?
Because going to councilors is just a punishment to me, and exercise is the worst punishment in the freaking world and I hate my job.
So when I see articles about work and counciling and exercise being good for people who are depressed, I feel like I'm being told I need to be punished.
All I even wanted was to stay home when I don't feel up to going to work and money isn't an issue.
I thought that the coucnilor I went to woudl support this, but he didn't and he said he didn't know and it was up to me and I could maybe do better.
now I can't get what he said out of my head and i want to die becasue Im so tired and no one is saying that sometimes you need to rest.
No one is saying that maybe I deserve to have lower expectations. That's all I want. I want lower expectations. I don't want to be pushed.
That councilor just told me DO BETTER and no one has ever cared if I felt better.

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...
how could you incorporate what you like to do as a means of not giving in to your depression?
it's about doing as much as I can.
and if I can work, then i'm selfish for not working, but I would rather die than keep working my stressful job.
It wouldn't be nearly as stressful if I could believe that I absolutely have to stay home.
So do you think that's possible? I mean you don't know about me personally, but is it possible for someone to feel so depressed that they need to stay home?
Because if I could take time off without feeling guilty, I would feel a lot better. But no one supports me. It's all "do better".
also, without meaning to be intrusive, have you ever been in the hospital? I had a good experience when I went in and it was very rejunivating, I was so bad off...
