Hi Beth, You poor thing! I hope things get better for you soon. I was where you are a year and half ago. Getting out of bed was diffcult and all I did was sleep. Thank goodness was husband was unemployed at the time because I couldn't take care of my children. Between being sick and dealing with personal issues it took a toal on me emotionally. I approached my Doc. and asked him for an Anit-D. He put me on two different ones in the beginning and now I only take 20 mg. of Paxil a day. Like Michelle said, take an inventory of what is going on your life and talk to your Doc. about your depression. Couseling is a good idea too. It took eight sessions with a counselor to figure out what was going on and I was able to make changes in my life. I feel so much better!!! Take care and hugs to you! Barb
