Too depressed to do my chores. Too depressed to eat. And stressing about it. I feel like a failure as an adult.

But stressing about it makes me even more depressed and procastinating the chores. I don't procastinate only the chores. I stopped eating. I feel like eating is a luxury. I feel like it's for social events and for people who have money and that i ate before just because someone wanted me to/forced me to. I just pass out on the couch. I was out for like 14 hours. Plus got my period and i feel even weaker. I just want to pass out on the couch, at least i have less ptsd nightmares than i usually do when i go to sleep voluntunary. I feel like eating, sleeping, cleaning, cooking, taking care if the bugs, taking out the trash, doing the dishes, the laundry...were things i did because my family forced me to. Now that they're gone, i just want to be half-comatose under blankets. I feel really cold, really tired, my iron is low, my sugar is low, my head hurts and spasms, I have lost weight. I want to just hide from the big scary cruel unfair overwhelming world, especially when im dissosiating. I tried to get these things done but im too overwhelmed, veins in my head are spasming, i just mess up

First and foremost, you need to take care of your health. You need to eat, ( even if it's just crackers)- something that doesn't make you sick. Stay hydrated too-try to drink water. After that, try to do just ONE thing on your list of chores. I know how overwhelming chores become with depression. Don't worry about everything at one time. Maybe do the one that takes priority over the others. Feel better!
