Tell us more. Have you sought help with a physician for meds or counseling? Most days I just take it an hour at a time. Sometimes a minute but I always try to make little goals for myself to accomplish. This is especially hard when the days are bad.
I talk to my friends on the phone, at least the ones who understand what I'm going through. And I have my dogs to take care of. These things help me make it through the day.
I'm sorry you're feeling so low. I hope you start feeling better soon!
It's good to get out of the house - I know what you mean about not wanting to see people, but try to push yourself. Do you have a laptop?
How 'bout going to a cafe with it? A lot of people do this - you get to be around people but don't really have to interact - it might be a good first step - I know how depression makes us want to crawl into a hole - it's really important to try to do this. But at the same time, I know I spent nearly a year hiding out in my house. Trust me, that old self is in there and she wants to get out!
