Doing the best I can

Some days I'm alright . I've had more good days then bad the last month or so. But the depression is back and I simply don't want to get out of bed ,in feel like every thing I do is wrong and being judged at work . I spend more time with these people then I do at home. I know my boss will never promote me so there's no reason to try. But the only reason I go is because if I don't get up and out of bed the depression wins and I woNY let that happen

Hi Dave,

Good for you, you beat the depression! We don't want it to win. I know how hard it is to fight it when you just want to stay in bed. What I wonder is why you don't get help to fight it? Why not enlist the help of an antidepressant? You can feel pretty darn good with that kind of help and still win. That's a win-win. Is there something about it you don't like?

I'm hoping you get on an antidepressant and make it easier on yourself. But that's your choice. Take care of you!

Can't afford treatment.

Can you afford what happens if you don't get treatment?
