Hi bluewater,
Sorry to read about your friend. The loss of a person for any reason can create strong feelings of grief and sadness. Would you like to share a little more here about that? If not, that is okay too.
It took me many years to learn how to let go of grief, or at least to acknowledge it and try to work through it.
It is tough when you wake up and decide that life is too tough to want to make a start of your day.
Can you try and plan some goals for each day? I sometimes write a list the night before and tick of what I have achieved during the day.
Are there some activities you can re-introduce to your life that brought you pleasure and happiness in the past?
Hopefully you can find a Dr whom you do trust as they can be so helpful.
Hopefully you feel comfortable having a look at other posts on the forum to read how others have coped with depression and anxiety.
Do you have plans for today? Is there something different you could try tomorrow?
Cheers to you from Dools
