Today, I had written a routine down.. starting from 730am till about 12oopm. Well I didnt get up.. and a voice in my head said stay in bed.. I didnt want to be still in bed when my Dad came home for lunch...so I got up and had a bath.. had something to eat.. took my meds.. and watched a show on tv.. so was up for a little while.. then went back to bed..now up again to try to focus on something else.. do my diary. So I guess my positive thing is that I got up.. am a bit like a yo yo at the moment.. in bed.. outta bed.. will get there.

Hello BFix

Nice to have you on board.

It is great you have gotten through the day...when we are severley depressed sometimes the best thing is to sleep & recharge because we use so much energy worrying and thinking. It is good you are taking it easy.

Also good work for pushing yourself to get out of bed too, though you need rest breaking a cycle of feeling miserable by trying to make something of your day is also a very good start.

If you are strong enough maybe even a 5minute walk outside can help. Just changing what you see around yourself can open your eyes to a fresher start.

Sounds like the last two days for me - only my excuse is servere migraines. You can try your plan tomorrow - it is another day. Do small things and don't make a to do list that is for several hours as you can become demotivated because it seems never ending. My sister has me on tasks at 30 minutes at a time and that is so helpful. I would suggest the same thing - 30 minutes at a time.

Go Blue!!!

I felt like doing the same thing today, but i couldnt, my little boy woke up crying at about 7 this morning so i had to get up to him. As a mum u tend to put your own feelings last.

Dont be too hard on yourself about your routine, u can try again another day. Perhaps today your body just needed rest. You may feel better able to do more things tomorow. So long as u hang in there & make sure nothing happens that could stop tomorow coming for u, then there will be another day to fight for happiness & improvement. Dont give up. Your strong, u can do it. It'll get better. If u can try accomplishing one thing a day, even if its only a small thing. Then u can sit back & see what yourve done & be proud of that, instead of focusing on what u didnt do.
