I am too depressed to do anything?!


Question:

I am too depressed to do anything?

I was diagnosed with depression a while ago. I am also bipoloar and suffer from social anxiety. Although I am getting better mentally, I am worse physically. I am currently taking 300mg of wellbutrin and 30 mg of lexapro.

I am generally "happy" but I don't take care of myself at all. I brush my teeth once a month, shower 1 or 2 times a week and rarely even get dressed.All I do is eat, watch television and go online. I'm supposed to be working from home since I can't keep a job outside the house and am currently enrolled in a state school. I am too afraid to see my academic advisor and I havn't signed up for classes so I don't know if I will even be able to go in the fall. I havn't worked in three weeks. Luckily I have a boyfriend who loves and supports me and takes care of me.

I dont know what to do. I finally found medicine that makes me feel better but its like now I dont care about anything at all. Please help me

Thank you for the suggestion, but I have too much social anxiety to go to a gym. I've tried that along with excersizing around my neighborhood and I get too anxious


Answers:

I am right alongside of you. Its wonderful your boyfriend is so supportive. Neglecting personal hygiene is a symptom of depression. Have you talked to your Pdoc about perhaps increasing your dosage of medicine? I'm sure you have wonderful communication with your boyfriend. However, I found it extremely helpful to have a therapist involved with my treatment.

Good luck and take care of you,
Dee
