How long does it take for someone who is depressed to stop sleeping all day?

I agree with you, but it is very hard to convince someone of that who gets very angry if you say anything to them about anything no matter how you say anything, Hopefully he will wake up in a better mood soon, he slept all day yesterday and all day today so far, and will probably sleep all day tomorrow. I wish I knew what would be enouraging to him,. because right now I do not know how to encourage him, and it is depressing me too.

I have been through this myself and although everyone experiences these things differently, the way that worked for me was the people around me notp ushing metoo hard to do things i didn't want to but at the same time making suggestions and letting me know they were there when i wanted to open up or start getting active again. I think the key was not forcing me. I know they found it difficult not to lose their temper at times because it is difficult for others to understand how someone is feeling when they suffer from depression. Hang in there, it sounds like you're doing all you can for him, just try and stay positive for both of you! I hope the situation improves soon and you both start feeling a lot better! xvx

Thanks that is basically what I have been doing not really saying much of anything and letting him work out his problems so maybe he will eventually be okay but I don't know if he will really be okay or not, Maybe he just needs time

I agree with you too, I think that this is only making matters worse because he will not be able to sleep well at night with all the sleeping he is doing and will keep feeling worse it is just a very hard thing when someone is depressed. Maybe the depression will improve one of these days I just don't know when.
