    This sounds familiar. Your story is mine. I get up at 6am to get my 16 year old son ready for school. I make him breakfast and drop him off. By 7:30am I am back in bed, and I sleep till 12:30. Pick him up at 2:30, feeling soooo guilty about wasting another day. I make him dinner. We eat and it starts all over the next day. I feel like such a loser. I'm just so depressed and unhappy, lonely and full of despair.

    honestly i know exaclty how you feel, try to hang on things will get better :) are you on medication? if so it may not be the right kind for you, i have recently had my medacation changed and alreadly feel alot better. if not then i suggeset you go to your doctor and get some help. try your best to go outside to get a little fresh air, i know it is difficult but get out of bed because it really does make you feel alot worse, go out and get your self a new outfit or your favorite treat. start making lists of things you should do that day to get yourself motivated :) these are some of the thing i do to help my self cope, if you need somone to talk to you can message me :) keep as positive as posible i promise you things will improve

    I can relate to how you feel. Sometimes getting out of the bed is the hardest thing I do all day.

    Open all the windows in your bedroom. The light and fresh air will help a little. :-)

    Sometimes it's got to be about the little things.
