I have been depressed for quite a long time and soon I will be in my junior year of college. I don't have so much trouble getting my work done, but I wanted to expand things a little and make healthier choices -- maybe join a club or do yoga in the morning or evening (I've found that it helps me feel better). Every year I plan out a fairly reasonable schedule, generally just adding one more thing onto what I already do. But I generally don't stick to it. There are so many days where I feel like I just need to do minimum. I can't tell if it is due to depression or if I am just lazy. I just feel like it is enough to just do my classes and other obligations and would be too difficult to add on something else.
That's my situation so I guess my question is, how do you manage your time while you are still dealing with depression? What is reasonable and what is not?
