Bitch, please. You know you're going to sit here on The Ledge all damn day with us. As usual, I attempt humor to lighten up a heavy situation.

It sounds similar to SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder. It may seem a bit early in the year, but if your weather's been anything like ours (crappy with little to no sun for at least the last 6 weeks) then it could be happening. I don't mean to try & diagnose you, but it's a thought. Here's a link for more info:

I think Eclipse & Irish gave some great advice as long as your symptoms are mild. But please, if you literally can't get out of bed, or you're not eating, or if you want to hurt yourself or others (I don't think felling like you want to hurt a Ledgie really counts, though ) call your doctor ASAP.
