Depression feels like my whole body, mind, spirit is weighted down. It becomes hard to get out of bed or do anything. I don't care about anything. I just want to sleep all day. It sounds like you just started therapy, so hopefully that will be of some help. Make sure that you get a therapist that you're comfortable with and feel comfortable talking to and asking questions. You may need or want to see a psychiatrist/psychologist to see if they recommend any meds to go with the therapy. The two together have a much higher efficacy rate.
I've been dealing with depression for many years, so if you would like to talk, please feel free to DM me.

When it gets bad, I wake up but can't move. And the thought of getting out of bed and going through my day makes me sick. I don't want to talk to anyone and I don't want to smile or be patient so I kinda have to just fake it the whole day.
Sometimes meditating helps, sometimes it's good just to sit alone and think about stuff. It helps me move forward.
But I'll start ducking calls, putting responsibilities on hold my diet usually goes to shit too. I get really tired too. Like I will wake up completely exhausted.
I tried going to a therapist but they weren't very helpful.
When I get hit by it, I try my best to work through it until it goes away or at least last till I am in private.
I find myself being alone and listening to hymns.
In the meantime, I would appreciate it if you could comment on my question.

Yep... I've dealt with this behavior from every woman I've dated or had relationships with. Being rude to me for no reason. One of the reasons why I've dumped all of them. Lose respect the more she does it until I've had enough. Having no control over what comes out of their mouths is their own fault. Such disappointments.
Lack of motivation to get things done, wanting to stay abed.
I've found the Black Dog charity website helpful;
https://www.dancingwiththeblackdog.com/Funny, I was depressed but the thing was I didn't notice or feel... anything. I was just... empty. Which was odd. The odd thing was I was depressed but didn't know it. So i guess I lucked out. All i felt was emptiness and never wanting to engage with other folks or be seen by them. Everywhere I went, I wore my hoodie and dared not to take it off.
Well, stranger, I just get a few bear traps, get on the next bus and put the traps on the seats. Or, I swallow a bunch of goldfish and walk into a crowd of people with my trident and force them out of my nose one by one and tell everyone my name is Neptune, king of the sea.
I can usually push my way out of depression when I am sad but when I had real depression it was like I had nothing to push against. It really sucks.
I am kinda the same way when I feel depressed keep to myself and left alone and do nothing. I also sometimes bottle up my depression and the vent it out or release it when I work out. I also have done a little therapy and that does help a little.
Keeping to myself, little motivation to do even most things I know I love doing, bottling up my emotions until I explode… Not helpful, but I’m so used to it and not sure what else to do. Therapy doesn’t help anymore. Their suggestions don’t work,(partly due to bad memory and low motivation), and I’ve already unloaded all my problems. I’m just having the same problems I’ve been having for years. (Too many to list.)
Whenever I feel depressed I feel like I’m losing myself, nothing around me seems right at that moment, I get angry over small issues. All I do is lock myself up in a room take a 😴 to cool myself down.
I don't get depressed but if I'm stressed out or dealing with grief, I tend to be to myself. I don't shut out everyone but I tend to not socialize or socialize to a minimum.
When I get depressed I don’t Talk to anybody and Seeing hearing even the thought of Talking to someone gives me feelings of Dread and only thing I wanna do is Sleep and Avoid the human race.
- Makes me wanna kill myself
- Makes me lose the urge to do anything
- I barely eat
- Stay in bed for most of the day
- Hygiene starts going down
- I become hostile and don't want to talk to peopleTry relaxing at a bath tub put relaxing music or do yoga. I get depressed a lot I try all that at home and for me it work.
I talked.. I talked a lot to lots of people. it'll actually help... and I try to focus on different things...
If I’m depressed I might be tired and have difficulty falling asleep.
Depends on how hard it's hitting. From a general malaise, to putting the barrel to my temple.
Depends really. I get my days that I have no energy for anything and other times I get a week or so where I can do anything. I try to make the most of the highs as I know I can’t do anything during the lows.
A lot, i don’t even know how bad it’s I can’t describe
i stay to myself and dont really want anything to do with anyone and i dont eat much at all hope to still hear from you
