snip-" 1.Complete mental exhaustion from fighting your brain constantly. This can lead to a lack of concentration, forgetfulness, chronic fatigue, missing deadlines, withdrawing from socialising, insomnia and a higher susceptibility to physical illness.


snip-" 3.Just the thought of living seems impossible. It takes a huge amount of physical energy and mental effort to get through each day, so just waking up in the morning and being faced with yet another day feels soul-destroying.


snip-" 4.Engaging in behaviour which isn’t obviously self-destructive but long-term may be. For example, drinking too much too often, putting yourself in unsafe situations, having unprotected sex, spending a lot of money and making impulsive decisions.


snip-" 6.An overwhelming sense of shame. This may be from feeling judged by other people, from not being able to accomplish the things you normally can, from struggling with personal hygiene or keeping your environment tidy, or from feeling like a failure.


There have been days when onlyI got up to feed the cats & clean their litter pans.

Depression sucks.
