Hi Janelle,I think you are not alone. I too have suffered severe depression and been stuck in bed. I try to at least get out once during the day as hard as it may be, however. Please remember, a lot of people who are seriously depressed are not accessing their computers and actively posting to newsgroups. So what you read here is not representative of the depressed population. Please hang in there. I know it will get better.
Best Regards
John
> I've been in and out of depression/anxiety for years now, but this past year has been particularly bad. I've had either a day or a few in a row where I basically don't get out of bed except to eat (sometimes I don't even do that) or use the bathroom, and I've also done the *stay in bed* thing for several WEEKS at a time. I get to the point where I basically cannot function beyond survival mode. Needless to say, when this happens I get even more anxious.
