Bed depression

[[4G...]]

I am in bed with depression and I feel hopeless. I think one of the things with me is that I feel I am being weak and should be able to beat this. But I can't. Bf has loads of work and he says he's not bothered about me because he has enough to think about. Feel despairing. Please help.

A weak person would never have been able to see there's a problem and taper down as you have.  That takes strength and you have that.  At your core, deep inside, you know that.  You need to access that part of yourself that knows you are worth every effort to make this taper work and get your life back where you want to be.  Don't despair. Focus on what you can do today to make your life better.  If that means getting up, showering, eating something healthy and walking around the block and cleaning up the house, so be it.  We all have to start somewhere.  I wish you good things.

Thank you so much. That is really kind of you to get back to me. I am on so many drugs that I despair. I will try and do what you say, although I am exhausted after five years of this. Thank you.

Lily Maria, You are doing so well with your Ativan taper. Well done and good luck with the Mirt. xxx

Holly, being sick does not make you weak. I completely agree you could have never tapered so far if that was the case. This is hard work...feeling this way and trudging on. You are doing beautifully. You just can't fully feel it yet. But you will!

Thanks so much, newgrl. I've just realised that I've put virtually the same post up again today. It is because I feel guilty because I am in bed when I should be doing things. Gx

The only thing you should be doing is healing, which is happening whether you try or not.
