Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
So I briefly mentioned this in my last post... do you find that you:
A. Eat and sleep more when you have depression
or
B. Eat and sleep less when you have depression
It seems the two go hand in hand so you are one or the other.
Unfortunately I am A. where I eat and sleep more. I always wished I was B. so then I wouldn't have struggles w/my weight and not getting enough things done.
My question to you is, WHICH DO YOU THINK IS WORSE TO HAVE? And also, which do you yourself have? Just curious.

When I'm just feeling really down I want to sleep all the time and find that going to the kitchen to make something to eat is to much of a struggle.
Normally although I'm dealing with depression daily, I eat normally but can always sleep. It's much more preferable than being awake.
I have an appetite disorder and even professionals believe that the answer is marijuana to stimulate the appetite. It isn't like anexoria or bullemia, I do not EVER feel hungry and eating is a major chore for me. I wish I could get into food because I have diabetes and have to eat whether I feel hungry or not.
