I am suffering from depression. I know it. My doctor, however, does not think so. She seems to think I have SAD or seasonal affective disorder. She won't give me my antidepressant medication anymore. I have to make an appointment with a shrink. The problem is that the depression combined with ADD means I have the intention but don't seem to be able to put it in practice. When I have days off I just sleep or lay around. I don't do anything anymore. I don't do laundry until I have no clean underwear left. I don't cook unless I have no choice. I don't clean. I don't spend time with old friends. I don't do anything. I don't have desire to do anything.
I want to.
I want to exercise.
I want to visit friends.
I want to clean my house.
I want to do a lot of things.
I just can't do anything. The desire is not counter balanced by the energy or the will power. I don't know how to deal with it. Another issue is the cost. If I go to a shrink I have a co-pay and a deductible. Then the meds have a co-pay. I am already drowning in debt. It may not look like a lot of debt to most people. But if I cannot pay my rent or fall behind on utilities that is debt. I only have one credit card but it is maxed out at $500. I do have phone and cable bills though. I thought about discontinuing my cable but it is my only entertainment. Maybe if I did I would do something else? Maybe I would just sleep. Maybe I would read more? I don't know. I just don't know.
