    I’m so sorry you’re going through this crisis. I don’t think the hospital would be the worst idea at this point. I’ve been in similar conditions but honestly I just used hard drugs or benzos to force myself to work. That isn’t advice, I’m just sharing my own struggle.

      Thank you for feedback. I really should go to the hospital but somehow I don’t feel like it’s emergency situation, I’m more feel like I should deal with my responsibilities in the real world but I just simply don’t want to & I can’t and I’m going on 11 days in bed if I stay in bed again tomorrow. So that is kind of a hospital-caliber problem, right?

      I am grateful for one thing, my entire life I’ve never had any desire to touch alcohol or drugs or cigarettes or anything like that. My self-medicating therapy of choice used to be aerobics classes at the gym, up to 5 hours a day. Now I’m older and my body hurts, My drug is sleep. Bed. My glorious cozy nest.

        I mean, you’re not physically hurting yourself but 11 days in bed is kinda severe. One thing is for sure, that can’t continue because otherwise you’re be even more screwed. So hospital, friend, family, or social worker. Or someone else. I think you need to get some assistance to get back on your feet :]

        But, that’s what works for me. I don’t want to be pushy. Maybe you can white knuckle it? I wish I could.
