Hey...You have no reason to feel guilty dear, and definitely no reason to stay in bed...

Being a people pleaser is a very taxing job. You're definitely doing your part to help the world by volunteering, but you're only one person, and sometimes saying no is what makes an individual capable of lending themselves usefully. You have to remember, in order to help other people, you have to take care of yourself first- there is no shame in saying no- instead of focusing on that, zero in on all the times you said yes, and take the time that saying no has given you to do something for yourself, so you feel mentally, physically, and emotionally ready to pass out those yes's again

take care

I'm on meds for depression, and they help.
I'm not a sad depressed - i'm an angry depressed. I get into a very negative attitude and say "f it" to just about everything... I don't like living that way...

I'm on prozac and trileptal (mood stabilizer) and the occasional xanax for anxiety. I'm very laid back at work, take everything in stride, but when I get home, for some reason I get angry at my son for stupid things.
He's a 4 year old baby... I can't continue this... I need to change the way I think and the way I act...

My son's daycare is across the street, I think I will take him to lunch today... I need to have a good talk with him, hopefully he'll see me changing... It's not something I want to do - it's something I need to do.

Sorry - I went off on a tangent there...

So i'm on these meds, and the 180 degree turnaround has been amazing. I'm in my own place, working full time and doing everything on my own for the first time in my life. I'm 27 and raising a toddler (which can be very stressful, even without depression and anxiety), and hopefully I can get things together and to a "normal" state.

Ok went off on another tangent there...
Don't know if it helped your situation, but it helped me talk through mine. good luck.,

Sometimes a change in weather is all it takes for me to feel blue but knowing that I am not crazy helps. I think every now and then it's o.K. To take a day and rest up, as long as that day doesn't turn into a week and you're not shirking other responcibilities. Hope everyone feels better as this day goes by!
