I've been struggling to put my life back together after 3 months of sort of being 'away' with severe anxiety/memory loss.
Last week I felt good -- went to class, applied for jobs.
This week it's hard to get out of bed. I feel hopeless. What's the point of getting up, going to work, and paying bills if it's all so joyless?
I don't want to make callbacks to jobs, feign enthusiasm, exercise, go to class. I want to sit in bed and cry . .

I'm sorry you're going through the same thing. Wish I could give you some good advice, but I can't.
But I am thinking about you.
Penny

Thanks, I'm feeling a little better.
I forced myself to call back a couple of jobs I had applied for today.
I got a job nailed down starting July -- one I'm not passionate about, but I'll have an income. Luckily, the pay's great (for me) and it's nighttime hours so I'll have the day to find something I'd really like to do.
And meanwhile, the city sent me a letter asking me to take a test for a job I was interested in.
I think, just having come out of a low moment, I'm impatient for things to be "normal and good" at once. But I have to wait for them to build.

I hear you, bookgurl, depression sucks!
Congratulations on the job.
