Sleeping a lot

[Adamj]

All I want to do I sleep it’s hard for me to even leave the house because I go into a panic attack. Easter was so hard yesterday just going to my girlfriends family got there was having anxiety the whole time could barely eat anything and barely talked. Ended up coming home and sleeping for 3 hours. This is getting old and so not like me. At night my sleep is horrible I have crazy vivid dreams I keep waking up. But my I will always seem to wake up at 8am sometime when I wake up I feel that rush of stress and it’s horrible. I just want a good night sleep I want to be able to go out and do things it’s effecting my relationship I use to be the one who was always like let’s get out of this house and move around now I can’t even leave the house and feel mentally and physically like garbage. I keep trying to tell myself that maybe I finally had a mental breakdown and there’s only up to go from here. But I’m not even working anymore like a job I previously had I quit because it was stressing me out so much and I was just sitting all day. Like every time I think I’m gonna pass out I don’t luckily I’m just tired of this all.

i feel the same way. im always tired, everything is exaughsting. leaving the house, even for 5 minutes, is overwhelming and i feel like i need to decompress after. i used to be the one that was always like lets go here, and lets go there. but now i dont want to go anywhere, except the forest with my dogs but my girlfriend doesnt want to go there. i saw my girlfriends family for easter too and it is so mentally draining. it always is and i feel like i dont want to see anyone anymore because its not worth the stress it causes me. i feel like i want and need to do nothing but sleep, but no amount of sleep seems to actually help

I experienced the same thing. I am not a doctor, but I am pretty sure that you are suffering from depression. Something in your life or that's not in your life is bringing you down hard. If walking in the forest helps go do it as often as you need to. If your girlfriend doesn't get it go without her. Most family and friends will not understand what your going through or may not understand how to be supportive. You can see doctors, and take pills, but there may be something you need that only you can find that helps you come out of this funk. Hope this helps.

thanks for your reply. i have tried anti-depressants in the past but they made me feel awful as i suffered alot of the side effects. im possible asd so the exaughstion after physical interactions could be coming from that. the forest is 1h 30m drive from me and i dont drive. i can only go if my girlfriend wants to as there is no public transport to it either. the problem is we rarely have the time to go together or we dont have the petrol money at the moment.
