I have felt like this for decades. I can find no relief. People make it worse by not understanding and telling me to just get out and do something. I wake up every morning sick to my stomach. I hate life and am terrified of death. Where do people like us find relief? 😞

I'm so sorry. I know getting out and doing something is the last thing you want to do. I had a psychiatrist tell me years ago that when I felt down I should just lie low, so that's what I do. Fortunately, I know I'll eventually perk up but while I'm on the couch, staring at the ceiling, it feels as if I'll be stuck forever. Anti-depressants have helped me enormously. I wish I didn't have to take them, but I'm glad I do. Don't give up. Let us know how things go.
