Depression and advice

Im really depressed and feel like i don't want to leave the house.
I'm loosing basic function.
I feel suicidal too.

Have an appointment with my pdoc on Monday.

Any advice on how to keep going?

Please

Hey Betty -

I'm glad that you have an appointment coming up. Hopefully your doctor will know what to do. Although - if you start to feel seriously suicidal & think that you might do something, don't hesitate to go to the Emergency Room.

I would say - try your best to distract yourself from your thoughts. Try not to ruminate about how you're feeling. Play a computer/video game, watch a funny show on TV, read a book. Even though you don't want to leave your house, maybe a quick walk outside would help, fresh air & exercise can make us feel much more refreshed & rejuvenated. & Of course - if you need to talk about anything at all, posting here is a good idea.
