I am really not coping.. not being able to get up in the morning..
not eating..
I really think I need to stay in hospital.. am afraid though.
I am not in a health fund so cannot afford to go in to a private hospital.. to get the type of care that I think I really need at the moment.
I find it really hard to be around people.. its almost like I hate them or resent them for being well.
My family ( Mum and Dad ) has been away since Saturday.. and I have stayed in bed till after 3pm.. almost every day since they have been away.
Im supposed to see my boss tommorrow to organise work.. I dont think I am ready for that.. its not reality.. really dont know what to do.

im sorry to hear that. i hope u feel better soon. If hospital is what u feel u need then go. Public hospitals can be good to private isnt always better. seeing someone strait away is more important i think. Or call or go to the local community health centre, they'll have mental health workers there which may be able to help u. Are u on any medication? Any thoughts of self harm or suicide? Hang in there, ive had plenty of those days, the worst of it will pass. do u have any friends or family around?

Try & do something, even if its just one thing per day. And eat a little or you'll get physically sick as well.
take care. thinking of u.

Hellhole is correct on all fronts. Private is not always the best but the thing with the public system is they don't let you stay very long. Go and see your psychiatrist and see what they think. You need to get ready for the possibility of returning to work. Eat small meals 5 - 6 times a day - graze. If you go back to work, you will get back into a routine which I think all deppie need. I am still in my pj's and it is 4.17 pm qld time.

Go Blue!!!

yeh that's a tough place to be in. i'm a hard worker & have been very successful in the past. i still have a great attitude. yet the depression & anxiety has given me the same symptoms as yours. it's a mission just to do the basics.

what i find really embarrassing is people's thoughts of me. they think i'm weird & irrational. i'm not. anyone else hit with the disease would not be 100% either.

i think we need to hold firm, cure our sickness. then kiss ass.
