Hi Babysteps. Your name reminds me of what my doctors would always say to me "itty bitty baby steps" when I started to get fustrated thinking I wasn't progressing how I thought I "should".

For me, simple things always seem to make me happier. My pets always can cheer me up a bit, a nice walk in the snow.

I actually find trying to watch and focus on a movie a bit overwhelming too. I find I get confused of the plot at times which causes me fustration. Which is the last thing we need when we are already feeling low and depressed.

I try to think back to what I enjoy when I am not in the dark place. Just the simple things. A small craft project that I can actually finish and feel a sense of accomplishment. Playing a simple computer game to help me focus.

I have always found it is important during the dark times to now do anything that will cause me to feel further let down. So I keep my tasks simple.

Have you spoken to your doctors regarding your feelings? If not, that would I would strongly advise you to. Your meds might need adjusting, changed etc or your doctors can help you with coping skills.

It is an awful feeling and I can really relate. I hope you find even the simpliest thing you can enjoy.

All the best.
