>I can have overwhelming anxiety to be sure, but it is in large part secondary to the depression. I'm nervous about doing things because I struggle with the will to live behind everything I do.
Yeah. Everything is secondary to the depression for me. Often, I think of doing things, anything - going to a movie, calling someone, reading, watching tv - but I frequently find myself thinking "what's the point?" or "is it really worth it?" The main reason that I do just about anything is that I can't stand to do nothing. Time fillers.... my whole life is filled with time-fillers basically. What kind of a life is that?
>It's hard for me to find a reason to brush my teeth some days, let alone go out there and get a life.
I've always kept up my personal hygiene very well. In fact, one thing that I might say I LIKE to do is take showers. But as for teeth-brushing, I pretty much hate it, but always do it because I hate having my teeth feel gross. But for a long time, I've been bad about brushing my teeth at night. Lately I've been making myself do it anyway, though, and it's amazing what a difference it makes in the cleanliness of my teeth! They really feel so much cleaner!! Apparently, I have "teeth like an 80-year-old". One time a few years ago, a hygienist told me that. Because I grind/clench my teeth at night. I was so astounded when she said that. I mean, how insulting!! That would be like a doctor telling his/her patient that they were really ugly or something.

That sounds pretty bad. Don't catch fire!!

Thanks. Yesterday actually turned out to be pretty decent for the most part. Some days are like that. Today is feeling okay so far, not good by far, but bearable.
I have a question for you: Are you currently taking any meds? Are you in therapy? Just curious. I am not taking any medication except trazodone to sleep, and I am in therapy.
I hope you have a decent day (I hesitate to say "good" since I don't want to be unrealistic!)
