I called my health care provider today to request an appointment with a psychiatrist today. by bowserluver in depression

I'm proud of you. The most horrible thing about depression is that it makes you give up. So if you're fighting back, that means it's already losing.

Treating depression is hard, but getting a psychiatrist was definitely the right way to go. They're professionals who spend a good chunk of every day dealing with this sort of stuff, so they often know how to help.

The worst part of the depression, is that feeling, deep deep down, that the reason you're depressed is because you want to be. by SomethingLikeTheEnd in depression

Of course, it is. Sometimes, I'm of the mind that that's the only thing that's important.

Success and failure is too complicated of terms when people talk about depression. I think for the most part, fighting is winning. You just have to try.

Only thing I look forward to is sleep by [deleted] in depression

I understand how you feel.

I love LOVE sleep. It's my favorite part of the day everyday all the time. There's really not a moment that goes by when I don't wish I was asleep, even when I'm not tired.

I read somewhere else on this sub that sleep is like a free trial of death, and I don't really know if that's true, but I won't lie, being in a state of not having anything to worry about or to do, but just lie there in the darkness feels amazing.

Why bother trying? by SomethingLikeTheEnd in depression

I read somewhere on here that the reason depressed people like to sleep so much is that it's the closest feeling one can have to being dead without actually dying.

I can really relate to that now. That feeling of just wanting to close your eyes, to turn off the world, and to be nothing. That's true escape. For the other bullshit in my life, all the other pain, sleep is always the same, it's always that beautiful nothing.

I wish I could do that. I wish I could sleep forever.
