OK, this may seem like a strange question, but I'm brand-new here and it's the first time I've found a community of people who would understand and be able to tell me if it's the same for them, and I really want to know.
I was diagnosed five years ago with depression and PTSD. I'm on 225mg of Effexor XR. I absolutely HAVE to get about 12 hours of sleep, either all at once or through naps, or I have no coping skills whatsoever and quickly go to pieces over any little thing. I hate sleeping my life away, but if I don't get the sleep I just don't have any life at all.
Is this just how depression is? It's just so hard to accept.
Can anyone share their situation with me?
