Although I always look forward to that, sleep, at the end of another day I never wanted to have to be here to live through.....You are not alone

I hope one day you feel differently - try to get some Sun (sunshine helps me feel better about being alive)

Thanks! Your statement, "another day I never wanted to have to be here to live through", sums up how I feel perfectly. Perhaps a little sun will help. I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion!

During the beginning of my depression I wanted to sleep all the time, cause like you I only felt happy and relaxed when i wasnt awake. At the worst I would lay in bed for a few days at a time. The only thing that could get me up was massive hunger (and sometimes not even that). What helped me was to stop thinking about the future, to live each day as it comes and realized that everything that has happened is in the past and the only way to make a change was to live in the present. Hope that helps a little. Best of luck to you :)

Thanks! I do tend to worry about the future a bit much. Living in the present might help me.

Since when,, days or forever or how long? Unless you're going to say forever I can say it's going to get better. Hugs

Thanks! I go through this periodically when I'm under stress.

I remember that feeling. Yes, sunshine should help.

I am a pretty happy person even though I am clinically depressed. Does that make sense?

Just about the only time I'm not happy is when I first wake up (waking up sucks), and if someone's being mean, or if I hear bad news. I've come a long way in my battle with this disease and am grateful to be able to feel happiness for long periods, again.

I wish you healing, too, and more genuine and lasting reasons to feel happy.

I'm sorry to hear that's how you're feeling. Perhaps you can find a little bit of joy in some activity? I know we lose our taste for most things when we're really depressed but I find forcing myself to do something I previously enjoyed often helps.

I still wake up from sleep pissed off. I will be in a great dream and wake up in the middle of it. I understand how it feels to want to just sleep and make the world go away for a little bit. I am not saying it is good for you....just saying I understand the feeling.
