Do any of y'all call into work when majorly depressed? I have a shift tonight but I'm literally bed ridden right now, wondering if I should force myself to go or just call in.

Get the fuck out of bed and go to work. You need to sustain yourself.
If it's the first time you've felt like this and you're just having a rotten day, I'd probably force yourself to go in.
You can always say you're not feeling well when you're there and come home, if things feel that bad. If you get into the habit of avoiding things you don't want to do, you risk losing structure in your life and making your depression worse.
So stick at it, make the effort to go in and see how you feel when there.

Doing that will make a new low standard for yourself. Youll deepen your depression by not fighting it and letting it take over your life bit by bit. First you don't want to go in today then you don't wanna go in tomorrow then you're fired but who cares then your rent is due but again who cares and on and on...
It spirals m8 don't let it control you.

Go to work. You get more depressed by sitting doing nothing
I partially overcame depression by coming to a decision, doing it and not thinking about it afterwards. It usually works out because I tend to do the right thing, even if I don't want to do it. Thought is the real enemy here.

I used to do this and each time I did it, I regretted it. Thinking to myself, if I just went to work, I probably would have felt better once I became occupied and got out of the house.
First few times were hard. It was so easy to just "flight" in the "fight or flight" battle of just getting ready and going.
You kinda just have to make yourself go despite every voice in your head telling you not to. It will pay off.
