Been feeling low for like 6 months now. Some days I just don't want to get out of bed. I'm not sleeping well, not eating right, and I've stopped hanging out with friends. My wife keeps telling me to see a doctor but I keep putting it off. Part of me knows something's wrong but another part just doesn't care enough to do anything about it. How did you guys finally decide to get help?
Man, six months is a long time to be struggling like that. Have you thought about talking to someone, like a therapist? I know it's not always easy to reach out, but you deserve to feel better.
I hear you on the not wanting to get out of bed thing. When I'm not sleeping well, everything feels heavier. Even just talking to your doctor might be a good first step if you haven't already.
Depression is real and it sounds like you're dealing with a lot. Please reach out to someone - a friend, family member, or professional. You don't have to white-knuckle through this alone.
Six months is a long time to feel like that. Not wanting to get out of bed is a sign you need actual help, not just a pep talk. Have you seen a doctor or therapist about this?
Six months of this is serious man. Sleep issues, not wanting to get out of bed, that's depression talking and you need help. There's no shame in it. A lot of us have been there and getting treatment actually works.

That low level of motivation and feeling stuck for that long needs professional attention. I know it's hard to reach out but your kids need their dad healthy. Talk to someone today.
I've been there with the not sleeping right and the depression spiral. It gets worse the longer you wait to address it. Please reach out to your doctor or a mental health professional. You don't have to feel like this.
