Because you think you ought to, or because you need to?

((((Sidestepper)))), I like that question...forcing oneself because of want vs. need. shoulding?
For me, I had absolutely no desire to get out (for a million reasons, mostly fear). But being inside was no picnic, either. Especially because I had absolutely NO ONE IRL. I cut myself off (isolated) from everyone. And I felt useless (no productivity at all). So the depression got worse and worse. It truly is a wacky cycle.
I was offered my current job, took the position and then I HAD to get out of the house (because I had to take a job to survive). Cold Turkey. That was no picnic, either. I felt like the biggest social dork on the planet.
And T began (the pain was too great to bear alone and to keep my job I had to get some support IRL)
