Depression

I am battling with depression. Barely able to move in the morning, I stumble from bed to get dressed without showering, brushing my teeth or changing my clothes. Everything is overwhelming and nothing seems possible. I wonder what other people think of my disheveled appearance and worry that I'll fail at everything I do. I have to be present as a father and husband. I have to perform well at work. I don't have choices about these things. I don't know what to do.
