Rach,
I am actually a big fan of self-pity, but it has gotten a bad rap. I think (as others said) it will pass; but while you're in it, why beat yourself up? I believe a thorough wallow is a worthy cause.It IS hard to be depressed and struggle with meds, and it IS a hassle to have more to do than you have energy for, it is just really very crappy sometimes.
I've spent so much time on my sofa I'm afraid it will get grooves in it. And then someone will come over and see the grooves and know my awful secret. So, I try to shift my position regularly. And, as a true couch potato, I zone out on TV or sleep.
The house can be falling apart and I will just not look at it. No worries--at some point I will do a little here and a little there as I get more energy.
And, I am so sorry you felt ignored here! That is an awful feeling. (I have a fear of responding to too many posts, you know, people will see me as a buttinski or people will say "she thinks she knows everything.") People here are so fond of you, and enjoy hearing from you--even if you are not all smiley and happy--I can tell from their responses to you.
Well, I hope you will feel better soon; it happens a little at a time. And please be sure to write whenever you want! Nobody wants you to feel alone with all that crap.
Take care,
Shar
