[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 465137, member: 1550"] Hearing "Just SNAP OUT OF IT!" used to make me feel so helpless I would be even less functional. It did not work as a wake up call, but only made me feel worse because I couldn't do it. I can't speak for everyone who is depressed, but it was truly very hard for me to function in any capacity when I was really at such a low point. Depression can interfer with sleep and eating too...it was explained to me that depression is not just feeling sad, it is a disruption of body rhythm too. You are out of whack...one thing leads to another. Not sleeping isn't good for you, but you can't help it. Often you have nightmares and wake up a lot when you DO sleep. You are not hungry OR some depressed people overeat (I was one who could not eat). All these things combined make things worse. It is important to try to break the cycle of just being "off." Good luck...being there for him and not snapping on him is soooooooo important. [/QUOTE]
