My DD20 has recently admitted she has been suffering from depression for years, but I could never get her to the doctors before. She had been on some AD's for 6 weeks, went back to the doctors and is now also taking beta blockers for anxiety but still she can not get out of bed and sleeps all day.
She was working from leaving school full time for 3 years, but quit to started a college course in September, that started really well, but the pressure became to much, and her course has been deferred until September.
Now she does not have the college course, and quit her Saturday job, she has nothing to get up for, so she doesn't.
I feel like she's just laying in bed each day, waiting for the meds to kick in, and then she will want to get out of bed. I think she needs some things do to each day, to get up, shower, or do something like go for a walk. But what can I help her to do, she is refusing to go to councilling, will not go to the shop even if I ask her to get milk while I'm at work.
How can I help her?
