I am so lethargic and basically sit around all day . Sometimes sleep in the day but try not too.
I'm weak from non movement and you know when you been sick and try to get back on your feet you can only stand a little at a time and have no strength? that's how I feel with the depression i laid around all weekend and oh I'm so weak today.
I just need to hear someone say i understand I go through that and can hardly function.. it scares me...Raineee

I just came off a weekend where I just sat on the sofa and stared. Couldn't read, couldn't relax, just felt dreadful. My in-laws were visiting from out of town. Instead of cooking a meal I sent them out to buy take out. I don't think they realized until now how incapacitated I am from being depressed. My husband just wants me better. I think it's sinking in to him too that this is not something I can exert conscious control over, or else I would have been "on" for the weekend.
When they left the house on Sunday morning I went back to bed until the afternoon.
I'm there with you!

Rainee~~I've been there. I feel for you so much. A lot of people in my family don't understand depression. I used to try to explain but decided to just keep trying meds til I got it right. Hang tight. Pat

> Raineee<<<<< No, you are not alone. I have always had troubles flowing but I came to a standstill about a year and a half ago. I work at home, not always even full time, and still find it very hard to concentrate and get anything done. Forget projects and cleaning. On most days I probably only walk a total of a few feet (and I used to be an athlete and run 6 to 11 miles several times a week). I both work and fall asleep on my couch, and have worn a dip into it so I guess I'll need a new couch someday. All I do is surf the web, and am not sure if that's a cause or a symptom. I even covered all my mirrors because I don't want to see what is happening to me. I have found a way to get almost everything done without going anywhere.
I read you. It's no fun at all.
