Boy could I relate to "I'd like to sleep until something exciting happens" Thats me exactly.
I think Beardedlady is right People always tell me that I need to 'develop interests" It doesn't work because if I'm feeling well the interest in life happens naturally. I can't "make myself" be interested in things. It would be like trying to talk myself into liking a food that I hate the taste of.Sometimes when I start a new medication, and it works for about 5 minutes, I'll start finding things like gardening really interesting again,
or just scenery, or reading a magazine.
It reminds me that thats how I used to feel before I became depressed, and thats how other people survive days that to me seem endless.
Unfortunately I haven't found a medication thats worked for longer than a few weeks yet.
I think its pretty easy to think you musn't be depressed just because you're not in knots of anxiety or crying endlessly.If you do find a "boredom pill" let me know
PLEASE!
