I understand how you feel. I managed to drag myself out of bed at 10 and now 2 hours later just crawled back in. As for showers, I am lucky if I get in two a week.

It's horrible. Really hard to push yourself.

I definitely know what that feels like. And for me as a woman, I was so trapped in my thoughts and would be in tunnel vision so bad I wouldn't move out of my bed for hours. Wouldn't eat, wouldn't move to use the bathroom out of immense fear of what could happen. Just being completely afraid. And depression sinked in so bad when I'd be in those downward spirals. And yes I can admit I lost full interest even in having upkeep in my hygiene. I'd go a few days without washing, especially if I didn't have anywhere important to be. And I'm a female.

Wish you the best 😊

It's a terrible disease. So many people just don't understand. Hope your better now

I understand how you feel. I have depression and generalized anxiety disorder, and when I'm in the middle of a really rough depressive episode (most recently in February), it takes everything I have to get up in the morning, and I often don't when I'm in the darkness of it. You're not alone.
