I can completely relate to what you’re saying . I feel like I’m just exsisting and can find no happiness or contentment in anything... sleeping is the only comfort I have right now. I’m sorry I don’t have any wise words , just wanted to say I understand and you’re not alone. If you ever feel like chatting or venting I’m here .

MsF, we do know that feeling. Depression does not want us motivated, just isolated and hopeless so it can thrive. Somewhere along the line, someone told me I needed to act my way into wellness. Smile at folks at the store; compliment someone everyday. Lots of other small things. Somewhere along the line, I did begin to feel better for a few minutes. Baby steps to climb out of the depression pit. Comforting hugs.

The Beach would be good for sleeping and eating.

Congrats on quitting drinking!!! That is a huge step! Have you had a complete physical to make sure nothing else is going on besides the anxiety? Are you taking any meds? Sometimes meds for anxiety can have different effects on different people. Sometimes they can make people more sleepy and less motivated cause they are supposed to help calm you down. I'm glad you are going to therapy! I hope you won't give up on it! Have you thought of looking for another therapist? Sometimes it takes a while to find one to click with. Would your significant other consider going with you? About 6+ years ago I was pretty alone and depressed and without any friends. I had moved about 2000 miles away from home. I think the move and culture shock and everything just kinda threw me for a loop. I was alone at work and I was pretty much alone at home (I was in an unhealthy relationship but he was gone most of the time). I did drink probably more than I should've for my size. I struggled with depression and anxiety most of my life. When I turned to my faith things really changed for me. I've also chosen the diet and exercise route since meds never agreed with me. My husband and I got a gym membership a while back but I haven't gone yet. I'm recovering from a surgery from a few months ago. I have started going for walks though and it feels great! I was even thinking of seeing if anyone in my neighborhood would want to start a walking group or something like that, although I do enjoy the peace of walking by myself;-) I'm also looking forward to my women's group at church starting up again since fall is here. I've also started baking for some of the neighbors-its something I enjoy and makes me feel good :-). Would you be able to just get away for a vacation-maybe a change of scenery just to get a refresher? I'm praying for you and your family<3

know how you feel, if you need a private shoulder to lean on, lean on me, PM me if you need to , ill be there always. GOOD LUCK, Annie
