    Hi Suzi, thank you. I can get up and out of bed when my husband tells me it is time to, otherwise I think I could stay there all day. Sounds awful, but some days I can't be bothered to wash, but I get dressed and take my meds. I do drink lots of warm drinks, but not really eating.

    It doesn't sound awful at all. It's fairly common for depression to affect self-care. Could you try and eat little things that might take your fancy? Just so you're having something?

    Hi Jaquaia, thank you. There is nothing I fancy to eat. I do try, but as soon as the food is in my mouth, I start to feel sick and cannot swallow it. I do manage the odd cuppa soup, not nutritional, but something to slip down.

    Are you drinking properly?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Sweetheart, it’s really not going to help you if you’re drinking a lot of coffee. I do understand, I used to drink a lot too but now limit myself to two cups a day. Thing is, it’s going to increase your anxiety levels and stops you sleeping properly.
