Hi,
Seriously, I'd never thought I'd do this! I'm a depressive/anxious type, currently experiencing low mood, hopelessness, lack of motivation, tiredness and a strong desire to get back into bed every 5 minutes. The psychiatrist has cranked up my medication. Now I feel much less anxious than before, more kind of numb. I've experienced this all before, which is rather disheartening. My house has exploded around me - I now live in a disgusting, unclean, chaotic and ultimately very depressing environment. I've stopped washing clothes, putting clothes away, doing the dishes. I got made redundant at the start of the year. The resulting panic, which in my case leads to major avoidance, has created this depressive slump. Don't know what to do.. running out of money..feeling awfully blue. Wondering most of all why I find it so tremendously hard to wash even one solitary dish (though I do have to, when I need to eat!). It's hard. I see everything with a negative bias. I don't like being like this. Feel I'm one step away from being the mad, bearded lady with stacks of newspapers and lots of cats. So I hope this helps!!! I already do things to look after myself - eat well, take extra vitamins, exercise (which gives me some small purpose). Sleep lots, etc. What else is going to help?
Thanks!! Not much of an introduction!
