Hi Smeegle,
Hobbies and exercise are pretty tough to do when I'm depressed. For me, changing channels on the TV was hard enough to concentrate on.
Posting here on babble helps me a lot. Have you ever gone into babble open? It's like a chat room and you can talk about anything you want to. Lots of support there, too.
I want to be alone when I'm down, that you recognize that you shouldn't be alone is good. And that you are really fighting hard not to SI. Good, too. It takes strength to do that, and you have it.
Can you call your pdoc and try to get an earlier appointment? More to discuss your current state of mind than meds management? My therapist threatened to call 911 on me last year if I didn't see a pdoc, so I understand your fear of being hauled away.
Have you tried therapy for your depression? Just a thought.
Wish I could come up with some other ideas, but it's late and I need to take an Ambien and try to sleep.
Take care.
