I'm unable to get out of bed from severe depression

Post Reply New Topic

After last week's failed suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization I have numbed myself from the pain of my life and have turned myself off, indulging in oversleeping and just feeling dead. Until right now, from how depressed I feel I cant leave my bed. I feel dead. I'm lying like a corpse. even typing this on my phone feels hard.

im unable to put food in my mouth from how depressed I feel. im too depressed to even feel alive. I feel the saddest ive ever felt in my entire life.

Do you live alone? Is anyone checking in on you?

I hope the hospital gave you information for followup crisis care, or therapy, or meds, or even grief counselling.

I'm glad you were able to write to us about it. That takes a lot of energy and mental strength.

Allow yourself to lie in bed doing nothing. Your body needs to rest and you've been through a lot.

Rest as much as you can but please remember to eat too. I also hope you have some people in your life that can support you.

Depression does cause physical exhaustion, so it is okay to not force yourself too much but you have to take care of yourself too. I am keeping you in my thoughts.

The last person who could support me was my mom, but she died last August. My dad has cancer and isn't able to even support himself.

I am sorry. I wish you had a therapist that can actually help you, they managed to pull me from very dark places before.

I am also sort of disconnected right now, but i know it will pass soon and i will forget about it completely. Without my therapist, that would be impossible.

Regardless i am here to talk to if you want. It's the least i can do.

I dont do therapists because I feel pathetic going to therapy, and from experience most therapists really suck and I cant take dealing with that

and honestly you've been supportive of me from the beginning. you're honestly a real one. even though I haven't met you before I still consider you my closest friend after my other best friend betrayed me

Thank you so much, i also consider you a close friend, a kindred spirit so to say.

I wish i could do more to help you, as i said i had also felt suicidal multiple times before and in my experience therapy really helped to get out of my head and see things in a more rational way. I never imagined i could be this content with my life but it actually happened.
It is possible for you to have a happy life too.

Right now, depression is preventing you from thinking rationally and enjoying life, and it is really hard to overcome by yourself. That's why i said to ask for professional help. But i understand why you are wary too.

I took your advice and signed up with a therapist. I see her next Monday

I hope it goes well, Salad.

I am really happy to hear you are looking for a therapist. I have been at that level of depression, salad, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm so sorry you're struggling and I wish there were people around to check on you. Even just to be in the same room would be helpful.

Please keep going. We are rooting for you.

I am so happy to hear that! I hope it goes well and helps you a little. I don't have many problems lately yet i still see my therapist once a month. ( well on Zoom) Let us know how it goes!

I will
