That’s all I do and all I want to do. It feels so good to sleep. It’s my only pleasure. But, I’m sleeping My life away. I’m in bed literally all day. Why be alivE if all I do is sleep.

No matter what it’s ALWAYS a good idea to keep on living.
Because, what if you someday write a book. And someone who’s feeling down reads it. And they become happy and you have somehow maybe saved a life. It can ALWAYS get better.
If you’re a teenager, you don’t really have to worry about your sleeping habits. If you’re older, though, you might want to turn to a specialist.
What makes people tired, by the way, is little iron in their blood. Eating red things (red meat, apples, strawberries, cherries and so on) helps. You can go to your family doctor and ask for them to take your blood and test it to see if you indeed have lower than normal iron in your blood.
Hope this helped 🙂
I’ve done all that. I want to sleep because I am depressed. I’m in my forties and take 5 different types of medication. Sleep is my only relief.
Alright, then it’s because of depression. You must understand that if you truly want change, though, then YOU must be the one to make the first step.
Please tell me all of the things that you have tried to get you to not sleep as much and how well these methods worked.
I’ve been dealing with this my entire life. I know and have been through every step possible. I’ve had ECT done 2 separate times with 8 different sessions. I’ve been seeing my shrink for 13 years. I’ve exhausted all my opportunities . I’ve been on disability for 10 years. The only thing that keeps me going is my son. I’ve tried suicide many times but can’t . I’m in my own hell waiting for nature to take its course by taking me naturally. There’s so much I want to do like finish school, but I can’t. The stress level is too high. All I do is live day to day, it’s all I can do.
Your son – is he a minor? If not, does he not live with you?
You know what helps me? Helping people. Helping helps. It’s really cliche, but it’s true. Listening to other people’s stories and advising them makes me happy. You could try it.
Also, being disabled doesn’t mean you have to be sad. I know of a man who was born with no arms and no legs. He got married to a beautiful woman and was very happy.
I believe that suicide takes away too many options. If it’s done, it’s done. You will no longer be able to change anything. If you believe in the afterlife, then you can not change this plane of existence anymore . If you believe in reincarnation, then you’re born as something else and you wont be able to change your current life anymore. If you believe in nothing, then you just die and you’ll never be able to change or experience anything ever again.
But if you’re alive, you ALWAYS have a choice somewhere that can make things better. You could somehow save a life, maybe even unknowingly. That’s what keeps me going. Because we’re all still needed in this life. SOMEONE needs us out there. 🙂
Yea, my son needs me… Just as I said. And I do have comfort in helping others. I would never want someone take there life-never. Just like I won’t take my life , as much as I want to…. It’s not gonna happen.
Please, don’t want to take your life. If you keep thinking like that, it’ll become a chore to live. It’s nice to hear that you wont, but I still would like you to be happy. There are so many things you can still do in this world. So many things to still be happy about 🙂
You don’t have a clue… Thanks but no thanks.
< clueless 🙂 but do you love me? Don't answer that
I’ve lived. And I’ve seen things. I’ve seen things happen that should be impossible. Getting out of depression is NOT impossible. Unless you don’t want help, then yeah, it is.
Mmmmmm, I love a long nap in a cool, dark room. Sometimes it’s all one can do to cope.
I do the same thing. I take 900mg seroquel and sleep it away. We do it to cope and even have a decent dream sometimes. Problem is long term I know it’s going to become a crutch. We won’t be able to cope with anything in real life eventually. I’m sorry you feel the way you do. I wish I had an answer for you other than the generic get professional help. It’s never that easy I know. Things are just too real right now and you question it because life in your eyes is just pointless why should it be so hard. I agree with one thing stick it out for your son. Life of misery is well worth making sure he’s happy and has his mom. Making sure he doesn’t feel like you do on those rough days.
