I can't, or perhaps don't want to, get out of bed. I am a mature professional and I recently chose to quit my high-paying job (thinking that my problem could be attributed to one of my superiors). My frequent absences from work (which was due to this problem - staying in bed for many days) have also triggered this mutual termination of employment in some way. But I am having the same problem now, even when my I am just relaxing at home (as I can afford it): Am staying in bed for 5+ days. I went to see a psychiatrist 2 months ago (before quitting my job) - but he was not of great help after two visits. He was focusing on giving me pills (which I took, by the way). I am not suicidal (but my brother died of suicide 4 years ago and I generally believe that this negativity is genetically inherited, with my mom and some others in the family being so negative - when there are no serious reasons to be so). I am generally positive and want to accomplish a lot of things. So what's the problem? Why is it that I don't want to get up everyday? Hope I haven't wasted my time by typing this.
