In my struggle with depression, goal-setting has been nearly useless and often counterproductive. I look back at what I actually did and try to be as glad as possible.

I think your "go slow" approach is solid. When the energy and focus are there, exploit them. When it's not, try not to worry about it (much easier said than done).

The sleep is a big deal. Poor, unrefreshing sleep makes everything worse. See what your docs can do about it. Complain loudly.

Wishing you unexpected, genuinely uplifting small victories!
