My depression has gotten worse

[Raggedy-Ann]

I've been fighting depression for decades. I know my signs. I don't want to leave my house. I am spending a lot of time in bed. I really have to rally every morning to make it to my 3 hour job. I've been experiencing exhaustion to the point of having trouble walking. I am being tested for long covid. I don't want long Covid. I feel that pull back into the darkness. I am not bathing much because I don't have the strength. I am isolating, and not even talking to my friends . I don't have anything to say.

I hear you. I have insomnia so that is the only difference. It’s all brutal. I am trying TMS currently. I am halfway done. It’s hard to say at this point if it’s helping me. I am med resistant, but I am intrigued by ketamine.

I’m sorry you are falling back into the wicked black hole. I know exactly how you feel and it sucks! I will keep you in my prayers.

thank you. I re-injured my right arm so that's helping.....not

Have you tried group therapy with a PSYCHOLOGIST. Or just a psychologist to talk to?

[Raggedy-Ann]

I have had success with group therapy. I live in a rural area now so everything is Zoom and that is not very helpful. I see the reflection of light from people looking at their phones, even my therapist surfs the web during sessions. I have been searching for a women's group online.

Hi Raggedy-Ann! I love your username. If you do find a Zoom women’s group therapy for depression with insomnia in the US will you please let me know. I’m really struggling here as well. Thanks
