So I’ve just started the process of getting back in control of my depression but fuck it’s affecting my life at the moment. I’m waking up and instantly wanting to go back to sleep. Going to work is now dreaded, I couldn’t think of anything worse than having to drive the hour it is to get there. My birthday is coming up and I don’t even really wanna do anything for it, like again I’m dreading my birthday and the anxiety/stress associated with it because of family and shit. I know I should look forward to things and try and focus on the good but how can I when all I want to do is slip into a cocoon of sleep and isolation from everyone and everything. Has or does anyone else feel the same way and if so how do you combat it
