I have depression. The low-functioning kind. The 'I cannot get out of bed and engage with the real world in any capacity' kind.

When I look up/read things about depression, I read all sorts about high-functioning depression. People who are depressed, but can live generally normal (if sad and tired) lives.

Suffering from and wanting to access help relating to high-functioning depression is valid, of course. It's just curious to me how it's very hard to find anything specifically about the most severe forms of depression. In fact, when I google anything relating to low-functioning depression, most of the results are specifically about high-functioning depression.

 It's... disheartening, like I'm not even mentally ill in the socially acceptable way. I'm not one of the hopefuls; one of the people for whom resources and literature should be created. When you hit a certain level of weakness, it's no longer in vogue,

Are there any resources relating to severely dysfunctional depression? Academic literature, fiction, personal stories, articles, etc? Anything anyone could point me to would be appreciated.
