Today I got up at 7am.. ( an uttered a swear word.. ) had my breakfast and meds then went back to bed for a while.
My niece was here, being minded by my Mum.. so got up later and played with her most of the day.
I was going to go shopping, settled for laying on the sofa and reading a book.
I still feel that I need to try and force myself to do things.. I am wondering if living with Mum and Dad isnt such a good thing for me?
If I would try a bit harder if I was on my own?
I have 2 more days before I head back to work.
Am helping volunteer tommorrow for a tea room - probably doing the dishes! At least I am contributing in some way.

Good on you for getting up and spending some time with your niece.

I think it is better to be with mum and dad because if you are by yourself and not sharing with someone, then you are likely to be not motivated to do things or do some damage to yourself. If your parents don't nag you, you are lucky and I would stay there and enjoy the time with them. I know I couldn't stay with Queen Bee and dad because she doesn't understand a thing about depression and the side effects of a/d.

Hope my advice was of some use.

Go Blue!!!
