I suffer from Bipolar Disorder II which means I get many many more depressive episodes than manic ones!. Luckily, I am very happy now, but have experienced many depressive episodes!. It literally feels like your a prisoner in your owen mind!. You think, this isn't;t right I should be happy out doing things but you can't get the motivation to even take a shower to feed yourself, it is avery bad place ot be and i empathize with you and the many who suffer from it!.!.!.All I can say is that there is light at the end of this tunnel and even though it seems dim at times, you can get to that other side!.!.!.best of luck!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I, too, like many others are suffering through a depression!. I can still force myself to get out of bed and get to work!. But, I lack motivation to do many things in life!. I don't enjoy the simple things in life!. I feel as though there are a lot of things wrong with me and I don't fit in anywhere!. My home is like an isolated island to me, and everywhere I go I feel uncomfortable around people!. In the past I've dealt with this by diving into relationships or sinking into alcohol!. Now I'm seeing a psychologist, an MD, and AA!. You are not alone in your plight!. Maybe you can find a friend or family member to start getting yourself some help!. I hear life can be good; I want to see that for myself!. God help you!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Thankfully I have recovered from my depression!.!.but I can remember it like yesterday!. Before the depression set in, I was super mom, super wife, worked 12 hour shifts, did aerobics nearly everyday and managed the home and budget with little help from my husband (he always offered, but I thought I could do it all!)
When it set in, I didn't know what it was!. I no longer returned phone calls, the household bills weren't getting paid on time, my reports at work were getting difficult for me to write!.
What you must know is that when you suffer from depression, you will experience some hypersensitivity!. I thought people were picking on me, staring at me, talking about me!. I wouldn't go so far as to say I was paranoid, but I cried all the time at the slightest thing-my poor boss!
I did feel like an outcast because I could not confide in anyone-god forbid I not be perfect! I just knew I had changed into some other person I didn't know anymore and I wanted my old self back!! What happened to me!?!?!?!?
As soon as I woke up in the morning I couldn't wait for the day to end so I could put a pillow over my head and "sleep"-if that's what you could call it!. I felt as if I was in a room with no doors, no windows and no way out!. It was no fun!.!.that is for sure!
I tried paxil 20mg-nothing
Doctor upped it to 30mg-not getting better, in fact I feel a little worse!.
Doctor increased it to 40mg-now I'm "suicidal"-want to sleep and not wake up
Begged doctor to change to prozac-he finally relented and put me on 20mg prozac in Dec 98
You need to see a doctor and ask for some antidepressants!. This will probably not get better on it's own at this stage!. Your endorphins (the feel-good hormones in the brain) need some help getting back to normal!. But medicine alone will not help!. You have to WANT to get better!. After giving me 3 weeks on the medicine, my counselor told me that sometimes I would have to force myself to do things I didn't want to do (like!.!.!.OMG!.!.!.get out of bed!?!?!?)
Each day I was ordered to do 1 chore like put the laundry in the washer or vaccuum, etc!. To think that I used to do 10 times that in a day was!.!.!.unthinkable! But after my one chore I was elated that I did it!. My first week was hard, but I had climbed a mountain!. To think that I had deteriorated so much in a year made me very sad!. I had not seen how it affected my kids, husband, co-workers (and I was barely keeping my job)!. Within 6 months of taking the antidepressant prozac I was functioning almost normally!. At least I was showering everyday and my hair was not in a ponytail for a change!. I was very lucky that I didn't have to go through a half dozen pills to find one that worked!.
I'm much wiser now and I know that too much stress and activity will trigger my anxiety level!. I take time for me even if it's just to sit in front of the TV for 3 hours and watch something mindless like "Rock of Love"!.
