Wow 12 hours on the weekend, that would be nice but I have 2 teens that wouldn't let me sleep. A 20 minute nap doesn't seem like much. Thanks for responding.
That's not much sleep. I sure would be grumpy 24/7 if I were you. Thanks for responding.
I seldom get a decent nights sleep anymore, maybe a few hours at a time. I often feel a need to nap during the day and it's a huge help if I can get even 20 nap minutes.
They say you can't catch up on sleep but occasionally I do by sleeping 12 hours on a weekend. It makes the world of difference
Hi Linda,
Thank you so much for understanding, sharing and for responding. Ive been down this road before with counselors and medications but I am going to give it another try, with a different team. I have been thinking that I need to exercise and move more. Staying in bed does nothing for me that's for sure. I appreciate hearing from you!
Hi Jessica,
Thank you so very much for sharing your experiences and insights. I appreciate it very much. I tend to stay to myself and not reach out to my friends and family and then the depression just hits me so hard that I cannot function at times. I can tell you understand. I appreciate your good advice and you really hit the nail on the head!
Thank you for responding. You are right that I need to own my depression and go back and get help again. I gave up a little bit after a bad experience with medications and also I had a therapist that I felt I could not work well with. I didn't feel like it was helping me at all but I won't give up until I get it right.
I have done the same with food. Always been an emotional eater. Hope you are feeling better!
Thank you very much for your words of encouragement and support.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I didn't know a medication would stop working after such a length of time. I had the opposite problem with a new medication my doctor prescribed and after just a short time I was sleepwalking and my mind was not right. I have a Friday appointment. Appreciate the well wishes.
I have an appointment this Friday. Hoping the doctor can figure out something I can take for the depression because what I was on caused bad side effects-like sleepwalking.
