I got up this morning.. and took my meds... then went back to bed..
I feel safe in bed..
Im finding it hard to function at all.. havent had a shower for 2 days.. or washed my hair..
I have a number for a counselling service and havent called them either.
I just had a big bowl full of cocoa pops..so I have eaten something today.
It just seems too big for me to deal with.
I have experienced severe depression before and recovered. I know it is possible.

Hey Bluefix, Hang in there, it sounds like a great start that you were able to have some breakfast. See if you can do something small for yourself, it it be having a shower or washing your hair whatever seems manageable enough, if the task seems too daunting, break it down into steps... Thinking of you Bluefix and wishing you strength and courage, all the best, From Riles

Blue

I can fully relate to this except for the non showering. I love my bed and spend my day in my pj's except if I have an appointment to go to and then I have to find some clean clothes and put on my mask of I'm okay around people.

Go Blue!!!

PS Riles is right - baby steps and now I understand the washing the hair entry.
