I don't know for the last year or so it's been tough just doing anything I guess. I go to work and them come home . I just want to get into bed and not do anything . Even things I know I enjoy. I just can't be bothered to do any of it .

I try to distract myself and ignore it but in the back of my mind there's always something I'm doing wrong.

Sounds like depression. I have had that. May likely have it again. It is tough. What has helped me are: a) meds, b) sleep (including taking a sleeping pil), c) going to bed early and getting up early, d) getting out--- if only to a coffee shop to not sit alone, and e) calling a friend (setting up a time in advance, so I look forward to it). Good luck!!!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for sharing. I think most of the people on this board have felt the same way you are feeling right now. I feel like that very often. I've figured out that when I'm not feeling depressed, it's usually because I have been taking my medications as prescribed, exercising and seeing a therapist. If you've been feeling like shit for a year, I would definitely recommend seeing your physician about the various medications that could help. Probably time to try a different anti-depressant.

Thanks :) . I'm going to try and make the call to set up an appointment on my next day off. I know I need help. I know the constant feeling of" impending doom " and uselessness isn't normal and I know it's affecting my job and my friends. Here's to hoping the free clinic in the area has some options
