i have depression and i’m bipolar so i know how all of that feels but lately it’s been worse (even though i’m taking my antidepressants). i’ve had a hard time leaving my house and i haven’t been talking to anyone. i’ll go days without showering (i know gross but i can’t get out of bed) and i’ve been sleeping a lot more than usual (12-16 hours). my dog died in october and she was my everything. i’ve had her since i was a kid and she was a puppy. it was a sudden death so i wasn’t prepared. this is my first loss that has been close to me and part of my every day life since i was 7 (i’m almost 20 now). i thought my bc was causing this but i’m starting to think everything is hitting me and i don’t know how to get myself out of this depression. sorry for the long explanation that probably didn’t make any sense. i just don’t know how to deal with it.
