Not myself

Feeling lost these past few months. Not wanting to get out of bed or do much of anything. My anixity is at its all time high which means my depression isn't far behind. I've been making myself get up and dressed, but I always find myself back in bed. I'm tired all the time until its night time then I'm up all night long. 
I don't know what to do to kick this. Just feeling lost.

im sooooo sorry, i do and probably MOST people on here understand and relate completely!!!!! unlike the outside world everyone on here im sure is on a similar journey. while this doesnt directly help, take some relief in the knowledge that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! hang on @howmuchlonger, hang on as tight as you can till it passes and soothe yourself in any way necessary and worry about cleaning up what ever messes you make doing so later. after it passes! if you need or want to talk..............

I get this feeling too sometimes, its hard! and its not easy to navigate around! takes me awhile to get out of it; take care of yourself. do a distracting activity like coloring or even a walk. Walks help me feel like I atleast did something even if I lay in bed most of the day.
your not alone... sending hugs

Thank you for sharing. Storms are difficult times. It is good to seek shelter in those times. If shelter means extra rest, then no shame in that. Longer storms need better shelter, which are loved ones, friends, Counselors or Therapists, and even Doctors, if meds are needed. I find my shelter in my Faith. Never shame in enduring, as it is a very heavy weight. Look at what you are able to do in that storm with that heavy weight. Those are accomplishments. Thank you.

You aren't alone. This whole thing has got people reflecting on their inner worlds. We live so superficially day to day, but when you have to face your inner world 24 -7 on lockdown that can be brutal.

Remember that its ok to draw boundaries and get extra rest. It's ok to be yourself. Try to get exercise, and dont make assumptions about the outside world. I feel awful too, and at night I feel so alone.

Oh well if the world does end dont you want a front row seat?

    The best antidepressant is when my wishes are honored. An example, the faucet in my apartment was running although the knobs were turned shut all the way, and one of the pulling strings on my ceiling fan came off. As soon as I notified my maintenance man, he was quick to reply with the work order. RAPID response... he's getting my services around my apartment done. I appreciate my landlord and...

    Hello,so I'm currently in a weird relationship with my long distance ex who I've never met in person and it's taking a toll on me. I've lost 15 pounds and lost my appetite, but I'm really attached to him. We've had a lot of problems and I think that has caused me to gain severe anxiety. I don't know if I should wait until it gets better or what. Everytime I've blocked him, it has tend to make me...
