vjd: hope you feel better soon. It sucks that you just have to hold on until you can get in to see your p-doc. Don't worry about not feeling motivated to do anything. I mean, don't heap guilt upon your depression as if it weren't the cause of your not being able to do much. Just waking up and getting out of bed should be an accomplishment. Congratulate yourself for the small things, or even big things, like making dinner. You are a good person and you will get through this. I haven't made dinner in months. My partner does that for me. I was depressed for almost 2 years straight. Making dinner still exhausts and triggers me, but he never pressures me to get back in the swing even though my mood's been good for a couple weeks. Cut yourself some slack is all I'm saying.
