> I'm so p'd off that I never never want to do anything. It's a beautiful day, I live half a mile from the ocean, there's a great gym here, I have friends who love me, my husband is at work and I have the whole day to do whatever I want with it and THERE IS NOTHING I WANT TO DO!

I am the same way. Yesterday I looked outside and it was beautiful and I cried but stayed inside all day. I find people to do things with that are forgiving if I cancel and I tend to motivate myself more . You said you have friends. Perhaps you can ask them to make a few suggestions about things to do together and just pick a couple that at least you will not dislike. I try to join groups that I have even a little interest in. Like I like to walk. I met a couple of people who do things with me outside the group. I also joined the "caring committee" at church. This is a great one because I can be involved even if I cannot make it to the meetings. It sounds like I get out a lot or am busy. I get out about once a week now. Better than it was which was never!> I am bored and I cannot think of a single thing to do that I can even begin to want to do. I hate it hate it hate it.
If you are bored it might be a good sign. When I am at my worst I am not even bored. It is when I am feeling a bit okay that I become bored with my time.
Are you a “people person”? For some reason you come across that way. I am and when I can get myself to go out I generally have a good time. It usually does not lift my mood and I am the same when I come back but for a few hours I get some relief or forget how bad I actually feel.
I have a lot of time on my hands. If you have any interest in emailing beyond this board my address is irene@pghmail.com I will not take it personally if you are not interested. I have given my address to two others and yes I know all will see it here.
Take care of yourself; perhaps the Cymbalta will motivate you more,
irene
