Unmotivated

[Shriendly]

I am feeling like a slug lately. Just want to sleep all day. Taking a shower seems like a chore. This makes me feel lazy and worthless. Going through lots of ups and downs lately. I’ll be fine one minute, then crying the next. Depression sucks.

I sure can relate to you!! Sometimes we have to force ourselves & other days we need the day off! Sending you good vibes! Peace for you!!! XXX

Oh I feel the same way.. even getting dressed and doing my hair at the moment is a chore.. I have a young son and the 6 weeks holidays to battle with and zero motivation or energy. I feel your pain. Xx

Yes, it does. No argument there! You are not alone in your feelings. Sometimes it is extremely hard to do anything. Everything takes energy you feel you just don't have. You have to force yourself, even if you cry thru it. There's time to give in but you can't stay that way. I have been hospitalized several times. They would let me be a slug for a bit but then they would strongly encourage me to get moving in the right direction. I could not stay in bed all day. If I wanted food I had to get out of bed to go to the cafeteria. I had to take a shower and get dressed. Even if just sweatshirt and pants and slippers. I had to go to group. I had to make my bed. Slowly things would get easier. Plus being with others that understand was very helpful. We have to fight back with this illness. Time to rest, time to do. Start small....but start.

I am sorry you are going through this! Depression is a very difficult thing to deal with. Have you tried talking to anyone about what you are going through? Sometimes it helps a little to have someone that knows what you are dealing with so that they can try to help you. I hope everything gets better for you!
