Your exactly like me...you know what can help? get a job, thats what helped me, just don't be late. I have OCD...which can lead to depression...

Yeah I usually eat alot too. I never gain the weight though. I guess I have a fast matabolism

If you're sleeping that much, your medication isn't working like it should. Tell your doctor. Get your dosage increased, or the meds changed. I've had to try several different antidepressants before I found one that got me up and moving.

If a person does a lot of Methanfetamine , they tend not to sleep at all. Or, like the first post sais: Get A Job, Slob.

How the hell does one afford to carry on a lifestyle of sleep that much? I'm baffled! You should enter one of those sleep studies at the local University so you can at least get paid for sleeping all day. Holy shit, man!

get on a fucking schedule that involves getting off your ass!

I also sleep 18 hours, i go to bed at 3am. And sleep till 3pm. I wake up late almost every day to go to work. I'am not on no meds.I rather sleep than get up to watch tv.I need help can sum one help me.. i don't want to go to the doctor. i need advice

No school, no work? No friends, no hobbies, no exercise? Wonder why ya sleep so much!

Your medicine makes you want to sleep to counteract your depression. Are you getting professional help. I assume you are since you are taking medicine for it. Talk to your doctor about your concerns. They are trained to give you worthwhile advice, not this sill shit you read here.

i usually sleep for 4-5 hours a night so i don't know if its normal or not

I used to have this problem.

My situation improved when I looked at it as a sleeping disorder both separate and a part of my depression.

Don't eat food before you go to bed and give yourself something meaningful to do when you wake up. You'll find that in time you'll be more motivated to be awake.

Also, don't rely completely on any depression pills to fill that void you feel in your life. Do your best to make friends and to build a life that you can be happy with. There is no magic pill.

i dont do that at the moment, because i'm at school and then i've got a saturday job. but in the holidays, you've pretty much just described my exact routine, except that mines from six 'till six.
