ahem, GTD should sing this song in her head when she is feeling sad (there no derailing here! )

You mean, whenever she's feeling "Baloo".;)

I'll just leave through the window now.

Oh, like I could have resisted that joke. You brought this upon yourself!:p

See, GTD? Easy back-and-forths, lame jokes, and Disney references. Three simple steps towards happiness, success, and thread integrity.

sssh... stop trying to be distracting. and dont go waving that thing in anyone's face.

cate!

LOL!

But, this is a serious thread and I really need to offer some words of encouragement.

GTD, I think the not getting up is related to feeling depressed. It sounds like you're trying very hard to do what people are suggesting you do...get medical help, go to a counselor, etc.,

It probably is not good for your self-image to get all the negative responses that you get here. I am sorry that in any group of people you will come across kind people, neutral people and down-right mean people.

I think your chemicals are probably making it harder for you to feel good these days and your self-hate is aggravating the situation.

Perhaps you should find a FEW people you can depend on and stop putting your concerns out in the open forum where the unkind people can attack you.

You really don't need that right now.

for some reason I no longer know, I didn't get my ass out of bed this morning, which is a huge problem in my life that I am STRUGGLING to correct. I'm not entirely sure what the cause of it is, I think it has to do with my job where I do nothing and have no reason to exist. Anyway, I lie there rationalizing that I can go to the gym later, etc. So I thought "I'll just go to the gym this afternoon around lunch time, I can sneak out for a bit no problem." Then I come into the office and realize, I have to take some PhD candidate out to lunch today!!!! Seriously, sometimes I have no idea how I even get from day to day putting up with myself. god, I really just hate how stupid I am!

WTF????????????????????

she doesn't yell, but she gets mad and scolds me and tells me how important it is and how I have to do and how it's easy and I should just do it. I know already!!!

Hmm... yes, I can see how THAT would make you feel better

she must be the worst psychiatrist in history.

In saying that, I can relate slightly... I'm not a morning person at ALL... I have three alarm clocks, one of which is set twice for different times and all of which are in different parts of my room so I have to get up and turn each one off... also when the first goes off I turn on the tv so I slowly wake up to that. Even AFTER all that, I still hate getting out of bed, I love my bed, it's so comfy and warm compared to having to get up and go to work... nobody likes getting up. My guess is you're either not a morning person (why not go to the gym in the evening? *awaits 498 reasons why not* ), you're depressed (I think I'll go with that one) or you just don't like your job. None of these are reasons to hit yourself with a mug

I just said, I am taking 400 mgs of wellbutrin each day. for the 7 years prior to that I was taking fluoxetine. I am also taking lorazepam. I am currently seeing *4* doctors and trying to get in with 2 more. (I have 2 appointments tomorrow alone). how is that not doing something??? When I started just freaking out every day over a month ago, I just immediately started making appointments and changing my medications, changing my birth control pills, everything.

well at least you're doing stuff about it

Are you being completely honest with your doctors and telling them exactly HOW bad you have it? And how depressed you are?

You don't like going to the gym... but you live alone... can't you buy some exercise videos or something?

i did mental health counseling for years, and this is my take:

you need to find another therapist. or go without one for a while.

you might also benefit from doing something besides going to the gym. that is your therapists cheap suggestion to get some seratonin increases.

you could try instead volunteering at a boys and girls club or being a mentor. it would be more fun, get you exercise, and you could have some social interactions with people who are much worse off than you.

if you dont like kids, volunteer at a senior center or homeless shelter. it might put things in perspective for you.

you would truly benefit from making a change. clinically, you are depressed, probably pretty severely, and you need to rearrange your meds. you might have some interactions.

do you have a pet? if not, you might get one (easy to care for, dont get overwhelmed)

what do you do? i might be able to help with employment suggestions... feel free to pm me.

this sounds like excellent advice right here.

:cool: aww... somebody missing out on all the attention?

Anyway gtd, I had a thread here a while back with links to people like the samaritans... people that are genuinely trained to help you. Very few people here are... most of us have offered help to the best of our ability but it's clear that you need more than what you can get here. Please try every option. Your doctors don't seem to be helping (although you admitted yourself that it's been a few weeks) so talk to more people, even if it's simply calling the samaritans and wait til you find something that helps.

No silly, you're way off. I was going to suggest a bullet with butterfly wings.

Great song.

GTD, have you thought about taking some time off work and maybe visiting family members?

I've taken anti-depressant drugs and talks with therapists on a couple of occasions but nothing of those really work. Often times I find myself being around my mother and siblings to get through the depression because they remind me of the good times I had as a kid.

Just remembering the innocence of youth bring a bit of joy to my life. I think my life have been topsy turvy ever since I was 15 or so. I just don't think any "outsiders" can do as good as your family members (if you have great supporting family).

Anyways, wishing good karma and good things to come.

how could I be such an idiot
