I’ve lost the will to do anything, be anything.
I want to wake up.
But not enough to do it.

I want to wake up and swim, but also to slip under and sink.

I think I know which is easier, but don’t think it’s right.

    The more you stay in bed the less serotonin (happy hormone) you produce. Try and force yourself get only 8 hours kip. Take hot baths, do good deeds, exercise for at least 1/2 hour (in a row) a day. If that doesn’t work talk to a G.P. Avoid anti-depressants if possible. They tend to rewire your head amd make things worse. Also, some doctors have an economic incentive in prescribing them. This should pass tho.

    I read this post last week and it has stayed with me ever since. I feel that drowning sensation too. When it comes to fighting or giving up I often feel the weight of everything pushing me down below. Talk to someone – they will help keep you afloat.

    I’m drowning too, today, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Take some solace from not being the only one.

    It’s me again, who wrote the post. I got sick of how I was feeling controlling me. Started on anti-depressants yesterday. Told my family, boyfriend and some friends how I was feeling. I’m going to be ok.
