Depression

[hannah5672]

Most days when I wake up in the mornings I don't want to get out of bed because my anxiety and depression is so bad... I would rather lay in the bed all day and do nothing because I get so depressed.. does this happen to other people?? How do you deal with things like this?

Anxiety and depression do such issue.it is very very common. I already had this for almost a month.don't worry and encourage urself to work ur life out.

Hi Hannah, mornings are worse for a lot of people!! I think as the seasons change and the mornings are dark and cold it seems worse too. Best thing to do is don't lay there thinking how bad you feel, swing your legs out! Stand under the shower.the water perks you up a bit, get dressed put a bit of make up on and make a plan as to what your going to do to distract yourself.

The circle continues if you dont start working out. I know that is the last thing you want to do or hear...but...kortisol levels are fucked up and LOW level excercise WILL make you feel better in the long run. 20 minutes per day is enough, more than that will increase kortisol levels and stress your body and mind. Doing nothing is supermegacontraproductive for your peace of mind. Take care..you are not alone in this mess.

Hello Hannah so sorry to hear how you feel The mornings can be the worst time Make yourself get up no matter how low you feel and get dressed it makes all the difference A walk is brilliant or any exercise you can do

I do hope you feel much brighter soon

Every single day, Hannah. I just had a 2 day sleep study as I could sleep 20 out of 24 hours. So exhausted all of the time. My head feels like I can’t hold it up. I never want to go anywhere as to shower and dress and get in the car to drive somewhere is too overwhelming. I stay in my pajamas and often don’t leave the house for several days to a week. I’m so sick of feeling this way. I’ve been told to ‘find a passion’, however I have no idea what that would be. I feel as though I am sleeping my life away.
