Hi Alexa,

I just wanted to take a moment to show some support to you. You mention that you take care of your mom, well I take care of my dad. So I guess we are similar in that we take care of a parent. For me, I have anxiety and I haven't really left my apartment much in the past few years. It is because of fear.

If you are getting worse even with the meds, and your doctor isn't listening to you about it, would finding a new doctor be an option for you?

I agree with the others on here. The meds don't sound like they are working. It looks like you're in Canada. The healthcare should be more accessible up there. Maybe you need different meds and a therapist.

I’m here if you need to vent. I know too well about what you’ve described.

sometimes medication can have negative side effects and do the opposite of what they are supposed to do. Regardless, your feelings are valid and if you’re experiencing this it’s crucial to let people you care about know. Sometimes when we practice doing the opposite of what our feeling is telling us we get our body moving and this movement can assist with building the energy to do more. Depression I’ve learned is a cycle. So starting small to break the cycle may seem very hard. I imagine staying in the depression is even harder. I believe you can do this. And I’m here here you need to talk

you’ve received some great suggestions from the other replies. People care about you. Feeling overwhelmed, wanting to give up doing anything. I know I agree depression is cyclical. It would best to break this, I think. My therapist is my life line. When I feel all is lost, she reminds me she is there for me. She tells me this has happened before and I came through. She tells me things to do. Please consider getting a therapist.

If you can't get out of bed, you are probably in major depressive disorder, which really needs to be treated. It can lead to very bad consequences. What medical professionals are you seeing? What treatments have you tried? Are you on any mediccation now? It is hard to try to give you any help or advice without more info. Don't be afraid, nobody here is going to judge you. Most or all of us here have been thru something similar.
