Paralyzed

[tara0709]

I can’t seem to do anything, to make a move in any direction. To face anyone. I don’t even feel like getting out of my room to buy food. Why is it so hard to get out of bed and leave the room? Why did I fall into this pit to begin with?

I know exactly how you feel because i am going through the same thing. I don't know if it is from the depression or the meds.

I don't have the energy to do anything. Just going out to the store to get caffeine so I have energy is hard. I don't want to run into people i know. I have been avoiding people that have been texting me. I feel bad but I don't want to talk to them. I feel more comfortable talking to stranger on forums.

Hi tara0709, nothing is worse than being stuck in life. Not being able to move forward allows us to spiral into this pit of despair. Seeing your doctor should take priority in being able to exclude any medical issues causing this feeling. If it is psychological than it needs to be addressed as well. There can be many reasons for feeling as you do. Sorting out those reasons will give some direction to proceed in. One step at a time. Depression can cause this feeling. You need to start somewhere. Make today the day you find some answers. Wish you well. xx

Thank you. Trying to do better day by day.

I've been the same, but seem to be making progress in little steps. That said I've been worse with bad thoughts for many months.

Try and look at things you do as little wins, rather than what you feel you should, could, would, have done as failures.

We can get where we do for many reasons, perhaps trying to deal with to much, to busy ?? sure been that for me, then stopped doing things one at a time.

Perhaps try and prioritise things and little tasks ?? Easier said than done sometimes, don't I know it.

Good luck
