Can't get out of bed

I’ve been so depressed that I’ve spent 4 of the last 7 days laying in bed. I’ve gotten up to take Shadow to the bathroom and feed her, then i crawl back into bed and sleep all day. I feel guilty wasting the summer away but i just can’t shake this depression. I’m going to do a walk-in appointment with my provider next week and ask her to increase my Lexapro. Tomorrow I’m taking a friend dumpster diving and hopefully that’ll cheer me up and get me out of the house. Today i thought about taking all of my haldol and temazepam but realized that that will just make things harder and will put me in the hospital, so i discarded that thought, but i don’t like that I’m even thinking these things. I just wish i knew what my purpose in this world is, i feel useless. Anyway, thanks. I needed to vent…

Sorry that you are feeling this way @WhiteRaven . I know you may not feel like taking this advice, but my advice is to get up and move around. Whatever you can do to get a little exercise in. Just sitting/laying around all the time is not likely to make it better. It may actually compound the problem. Try to at least go get a little sunshine for a bit or something.

I hope the dumpster diving helps.

Sometimes we do find food at the dump, but we only take things that are unopened, like last time we went we found 13 cans of garbanzo beans. @Bowens i went for a short walk. It was nice and at least made me feel like i accomplished something today. I took Shadow and she enjoyed it, too.
