Need encouragement feeling stuck

Posted , 4 users are following.

Week 5 of does increase to 20mg. I have had some good evenings and moments of optimism but today feel depressed. I sit at work with nothing to do but think. I can't seem to even make myself get up and do anything. I don't feel like eating, reading, getting anything done. I even sit here feeling paralyzed if I have to get up to use the bathroom. I know that having a distraction would help but I can't do it. I feel very unhappy with my life. I don't have the time or money to see a therapist and not convinced it would help.

      thanks for responding. I can't take off work but it wouldn't matter. I work in a furniture store and we are sooo slow. I don't really have to do anything and its not stressful. Today I am really tired. My head is so heavy and I feel really off. I felt good last night so this is discouraging.

    Hugs Cara

    Remember these meds are there to assist us, they cannot live our lives for us. You feel very unhappy with your life, what would make you feel happy with your life? you do not need to tell us on here, but have a good think, when was the last time you felt really happy, what was it that you were doing that you may not be doing now? Little steps and making changes can help alot too. All the best to you, hugs.
