ive been depressed for 10 years , but last 1 year has been toughest..

Now my heart is involved due to my stay at home depressed lifestyle. I need a kick in the ass to get going but can't seem to do it.

Welcome to the community! I'm glad your here. Believe me I was in a depressive episode for four long years and like you last year brought me to my knees. I lost my job that I lost my home and now I'm living in my sister's basement. The only way I have to go is up from here and that's where I'm heading. I had to take my pension out cuz my car broke down and I needed another one so I paid for it out right and I'm going to use the remainder of the money to move to Florida with my husband in September hopefully and put a down payment on a house down there so I'm never in this position ever again. I know your going through though as I've' been in depressive episode for four long years. It's so hard to get motivated to do anything. Are you on any type of medication if not maybe you should think about it because sometimes medication helps us get that edge off so we're able to get out of bed and be functional. Are you in any type of therapy? I did cognitive behavior therapy during covid which helps somewhat and then did Psychotherapy in 2023 and my therapist Dr Michael Nover was a Godsend to me. He was $250 an hour which was extremely expensive so I could no longer afford it plus he didn't practice in Pennsylvania where I now I'm staying but he helped me a whole bunch so I'm okay for now. I'm wishing you hope, peace and well-being.
