Most days start with that one thought. I typically have to lay in bed for a half hour to two hours just to gain enough composure to greet my roommates. I know I brighten days for others, but I feel stuck at the bottom of a well and am watching as a cover is dragged over to deny me sunlight. Why go on?

I know how you feel. I often think "shit, I woke up. Now what?" And then I lay there for a couple hours while the negative thoughts fill my brain. I feel stuck too, with no sunlight. You're not alone. Sending hugs....

It sounds bleak, but it helps to know I'm not the only one who feels so alone. Returning with lots of hugs! Thank you! You have been my one ray of hope today.

I'm sorry you feel this way. Really, I am. It's a shitty feeling, to say the least. I can relate somewhat though my crazy schedule prevents me from putting the covers back over my head when the alarm goes off. I FEEL like that frequently, though.
Can you tell us a bit more of what you think is contributing to you feeling this way? Are you currently being treated for depression? Do you have any family/friends that you can confide in and let them know you're feeling this way?
I don't post here often but I do peak in here every once in awhile so I know it's a great place to come for support. I hope you take advantage of it and post again. People here care and will listen if you need to talk.

You gotta climb out of the well. I always called it the pit. You can get out of the pit.

It's not real down there. It's a chemical imbalance down there. :)

YOU CAN GET OUT. :)
