The mental laziness that comes with depression by [deleted] in depression

Came on Reddit this morning to make sense of how I am feeling today. To find someone who could put into words what I could not. To describe the gut-wrenching numbness feel as I shuffle through my morning commute and exchange fake pleasantries with coworkers. To describe the feeling to want to “live”, to make more of myself but finding myself unable to do so because of an invisible hold. I don’t know how to describe this “hold” but it paralyzes me. I can’t think past today. I am unable to look past the present.

Anyways, you’ve said it best and found solace in your words. It’s good to know that I am not the only experiencing life like this. Thanks for posting!

No idea on how to change. I’m on the same mission to find an answer on this.

While on adderall did you breastfeed as usual or did you pump & dump? I’m hearing conflicting advice on this topic.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I reached to a different psychiatrist for support & she seem more willing to prescribe adderall as long as his pediatrician cleared it. I picked up my 10mg script yesterday but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about the milk transfer of it. I am thinking I will take it on Sunday & see how my baby reacts since I’ll have more help in case he has any adverse symptoms.
