So depressed I can't even get out of bed
 

Grrr, I should go to the pharmacy today to get my medication and I can't get out of bed.

I can't help but wonder if I'm being paranoid or feel that everyone has some kind of agenda against me?

I have read about people in these forums that sleep all day and push away family members. That's me too.

I desperately want to go to sleep. I'm married and have a 22 year old daughter and I avoid them.

I believe I have something else going on besides having Major depression. PTSD, panic and anxiety disorders.

I wish I was one of those people that just get moving. I know I have a choice and I choose to lay in bed. Pathetic.

I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time.
I hope you were able to get out to get your medications.

Your depression and anxiety have maybe been made worse by
your previous head injuries.

If you're starting to hibernate and having difficulty leaving the house,
then it's time to figure out if the meds you're taking need changing or doses increased,
or indeed if some other type of treatment is warranted.

I hope you have a good doctor.
Talk to your doctor about the way you're feeling right now.
Sometimes we just have to force ourselves and not just for us,
for others as well, like your family who must be concerned and worried.

take care of yourself.

I am terrified of leaving the house and don't leave for weeks and then it gets harder and harder so I would recommend getting out a little every day because it becomes so much harder. I let my physical pain and mental depression keep me in. we both need to fight it.

Some medications can really make us feel extremely tired and don't even want to shower, etc.

After I had my spinal fusion/laminectiomy, along with pain meds; I found it was easier to stay in bed and not deal with the rest of the world. But; thankfully I started realizing how my family was hurting; especially my husband. I began to care about them. Because of not thinking of only myself; I began pushing myself out of bed and started with sitting with a cup of coffee. Just a start; but there is where it begins.

Hopefully the starting will begin for you.:hug:

(p.s.) Many pharmacies will deliver medication.
