Discussion Anyone so depressed they sleep all day?

[Fadeawaaaay]

No desire to recover either… just surviving day until night comes …

 

[Someone123]

That's what I have been doing- then I stupidly applied for a job where I wilol start next week- I'm not ready- it was a horrible decision- I still had months of unempoloyment left plus enough funds to make it without working a few more months- I'll have to adapt, put on a mask, and keep going unti I can get myself to ctb, which isn't easy to do.

 

[Ectaxy]

I want to leave but I don't know how, I can't stand this reality anymore

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

In the United States, there are help wanted signs everywhere… Not at all hard to get some kind of job… no thanks… I think a lot of people have decided it's not worth it…

 

[Snake of Eden]

No way of things getting better for me. Just passing time until i get the courage to ctb

I'm trying to sleep as much as possible. I have a bf that doesn't understand my condition. It's not so simple when you live together.
Today, for example, I napped for 2 hours but he's back from work and now it's impossible to check out for the rest of the day.
I'm not even hungry or thirsty ever. Totally forgot to eat and drink water. No desires. No interests. Just meh…

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

Yeah it's definitely more challenging if there's another human being around… I'm here with my sister and she's inviting me to go on a hike and now out to a restaurant for dinner etc. I were solo I would be in bed the the whole time

YES!! I sometimes get a really bad depression episode and I have slept for 22 plus straight hours. To me, this is somewhat the same for me as when I used to get migraines and slept for a long time.

For me whatever works for a person, then one does it and when the depression is really bad, I sleep it away.

I wish. I instead have insomnia BIG time.

 

[sasshimi]

Yup.. I either sleep too much or too little. I'm just existing. I've been housebound for a month now since my failed attempt. I have no desire to recover and even if I decide to recover, my anxiety is too overwhelmingly difficult to deal with, going outside feels like I'm on the verge of dying.

Totally agree with you. I am in the U.S. and got laid off I June, 2020 after 29.5 years at the same firm. I like working as it keeps my mind busy, BUT, BUT the ultra-low pay AND the attitude of some of the potential employers that I have run into is not worth it.

I try my hardest to be nice and we are all the same period thinking and I have been talked down to AND I even had a person at a firm tell me in a in face interview that I was "too old"?!?!

I have enough saved up to last 9 months and I will take my time looking.

I just cannot believe the attitude of some folks in business towards their fellow human beings.

I'm sorry that you had to endure this… Sounds pretty brutal out there…

Likewise. Agoraphobia.

You reach a point when you realize you're in a hole and it's way too deep and you're never going to get out…

THANK YOU so much for your kind words and thoughts. Yes, you are spot on as it is so funny how employers are saying no one wants to work and then, at least in my situations, have been nothing but mean. nasty and downright condescending towards me.

You are a lovely soul with a heart of gold and I thank you so much for being nice to me and being a good friend.

Likewise, Walter. You deserve better.

I wish I could sleep all day

 

[dustbiter]

I actually spend all day in my room, either sleeping or sitting at my computer. I can feel myself slowly developing agoraphobia lol, leaving makes me have panic attacks every time now! I want to hopefully get N before I ctb, but it's hard not to just jump to easier means when every day is like that.

 

[Dystopia]

My sleep seems to vary so much. I was sleeping 10-14h at the end of last year which was great but my sleep pattern decides to go around in loops and I always get fragmented sleep ranging from 1h to 5h

Always sleeping at least 7-10 before I can get up any more. If I could go back to sleep at will I'd run my lifespan down pretty fast.

The oversleeping adds to my lack of energy but even a "good night" doesn't tend to do a thing for me any more.

I spend 90% of my time in my room too, I'm happiest when I sleep and get completely absorbed in the storylines of my dreams. I wish I could just live in them. Hoping death will be like that..

 

[peacefulhorizons]

absolutely.

sleep. cry. sleep. cry. sleep. cry.

 

[FuneralCry]

Even know I feel tired all the time, I cannot sleep all day. If I could, I would. Even when I do manage to sleep though, there is nightmares. There is no peace for me, even in sleep. It really is horrible being alive. I do not live, I just exist. All my time is spent wishing I was not here. I look forward to the day that everything will end for me.

 

[CTBer]

Mine is a sleep/insomnia cycle.

 

[stellabelle]

Whenever I can.
If I don't wake up.
So be it.

 

[Pluto]

Today's my only day off. I alternated between sleeping and browsing SS. :D Now it's nearly bedtime.

Have written a friendly message to my employer about what a great lifestyle I live and will probably be unemployed soon.

 

[thereisthemist]

I sleep so much that I scolded myself in my dreams for this.

 

[Ness]

I'm lucky in that I'm a university student, so while I spend all my time in my room it's half expected of me because everyone thinks I'm studying for exams or writing for presentations or whatever. I do all my classes through zoom. But I slept through my last few classes and I sleep nearly all the time if I'm not on my laptop or phone playing games or watching things on youtube... It's hard to care enough to do anything, I'm always just so tired. You're not the only one.

 

[Blue_mist]

I stay in bed almost 16 hours a day. I just come down to grab something to eat or use the washroom. I don't know what I'd do without YouTube.

 

[Itsallover123]

At my worst I would sleep to fast forward through life. I couldnt bear to be awake

 

[Ch92921]

yes.

 

[Wojaczek]

I want to be in my bed forever

 

[Insomniac]

yep. and I'm anxious every second of the day because I have no idea when I'll run out of ressources without working.
