been there, babe. frozen sucks majorly. i don't know how to get you out of it, i think it is something you have to figure out for yourself, maybe? idk all i know is that you CAN do all those things and you WILL. it just takes time sweets. you can do this. you can get through this crap you are in.

I have severe depression and have been a lot like you describe for long periods of time. Lethargy and feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope can all stem from depression. See a psychiatrist about taking an antidepressant, changing or increasing one if you already take one. Regular exercise is a wonderful natural antidepressant if you can make yourself do it. Therapy will help too. People do not understand what you are going through so please message me anytime at yorkielove777@yahoo.com.

Dear ellepm,

Do you have health insurance or money to go see a psychiatrist? Can you afford medication? antidepressant drugs can be very expensive.

I know exactly what you are going thru right now.... I am wearing the same shoes, still frozen, unable to get off the boat for 10 years. All I can tell you don't isolate yourself, talk to people, hang around friends and family. Seeing them living/enjoying life always help.

Ell. There only one pill you need and that is to get that sick sob out of your life and learning coping skills to keep his sick actions from affecting you. O see you doing better all the time. I'm sure you font think so, but from outside looking on you are making progress. Hang in there. I'm here for ya

God bless

elle get some legal advise even if you are not ready yet to file for divorce..maybe that will reduce your stress a little..at least you will know what you are entitled to...in terms of depression I can only tell you what works for me..I say this because I have no right to assume I know whats best for you but we do care about you..I try to have some activity during week that gets me out of house for a few hours..start with something small maybe...others have posted about medication its worth at least considering..but remember you have shown strength just by coming here

I am pretty frozen to day too Elle. I hate it when I find myself exhibiting this behavior. Oh well... We have talked a lot. Maybe it is just time now. We know we have love and understanding from those who are or have walked in our shoes.

Some days I just go to back to basics. Time with my God first. Second myself, which I break down into Body(feed it, clean it, dress it), Environment, and then I approach my other responsibilities in a prioritized way as best I can. It is difficult at times.

You know i love ya girl!!!
