Just really struggling the last to days, with my depression. Even though I'm on medication I just cannot get out of bed, no motivation and just crying all the time, have lots of jobs to do around the house cause my rooms are a mess but can't be bothered to do anything about them, I can't even leave the house I have become so scared to go out. Please help

Sorry to hear this .. Speaking from experience I lived with lack of motivation and I was on meds. Since coming off them I have found that my motivation has come back somewhat .. I exercise numerous times weekly and that makes me feel so much better in many ways.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I'm on" 600grm of lithium and 600grm of venlafaxine. They now Want to put me on a pyhotic drug to lift my mood. And help with the anxiety but I have refused. But I have been given propranolol to take if and when needed. They are beta blockers. I can't even face going down stairs or even taking my little dog for a walk

I have used propananol and I found I could not take the anti psychotic meds .. I used all kinds of meds for 16 years .. I found that eliminating negative people out of my life was also a necessity .. Now my life is totally different and I can enjoy my days .. During my recovery which I am still doing, I learnt to step out of my comfort zone many,many times. This is crucial for self improvement :) I have learnt many things about myself :)
