I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time, Widgets. I can relate with not wanting to go outside. Knowing to put one foot in front of the other doesn't make it happen. Depression is such a wicked cloak to wear.

Although I'm not always very good to me, I do try to do what I learned in Alcoholics Anonymous...HALT. It stands for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. These are the areas I try to caretake me with. I throw Thirst in there too. It's important for me.

It's not easy to allow the adult in me care for me. I've actually learned how good it feels to accept goodness from myself.

These are just a few things that I thought of. They work for me most of the time. I hope you feel better soon.
