I Have Major Depressive Disorder

Tired Out

By: dumbfool
Written on April 10th, 2012
I'm close to 50, married, grown kids.  I sleep, smoke,  smoke and sleep.  I no longer get dressed.  I'm on meds.  Thoughts of suicide.  Counseling, family - nothing helps.

    as crazy as it sounds -- i generally consider the day a success if i have pants. ie not pajamas -- regardless of showers etc.



    sometimes starting small can help a little.

    You are going through the motions waiting to die aren't you? Get out of bed, ring the shrink and discuss your meds history and current doses. keep looking for one that works.



    If you want to give up then stop talking about it OK? It is a waste of time if you don't genuinely believe you canget better is it not? I thought I was finished too, several times but I never gave up and am now content. WHich is as good or better than the rest of society. You can do this too. I started getting serious at 49 so 50 ot not too late at all.
