Hi. I've been around on the boards for a few years, mostly lurking, sometimes posting.
I need some help. I was fired from my job for political (basically made up) reasons about 6 weeks ago. i was depressed, of course. then it turned into a major depressive episode. i went into therapy 4 years ago for depression and still am in depression. it had been in remission until now. now i lay in bed all day and my body just hurts everywhere. i can hardly make it to therapy (sometimes i make it, sometimes i don't). i can't clean the house. i can't look for a job. i get more and more depressed every day. i did apply for a few jobs and am waiting for call backs. i am afraid to take myself to the hospital because what if i get a call back while i am in there and miss out on the opportunity (there are not many job opportunities with my degree). i interviewed for a position last week and should hear back this week or next.
i am taking my medication as prescribed, but i just started back on it last monday when i realized the depression was coming back.
any suggestions on how to cope in the meantime, without hospitalization?
anyway to deal with the suicidal ideations? i won't act on them, i'm just tired of feeling this way. i feel like i just can't move. i hurt so bad.
