Hi , I am in the middle of a major depressive episode and am fighting badly to put some structure into my day.
I am barely able to brush my teeth/shower.
It all ssems so pointless yet i try not to listen to those thoughts in my head like that. I know it is my illness speaking...
Anyway, could anyone tell me some tips/tricks they know for putting structure into my day? like ways to encourage myself or sneaky ways to make myself feel better? God!!!, anything, different ways to write to do lists, times best to take walks?? .. best ways to take walks.....ive done so much of this before...i need to get out of the house desperately...I live in a beautiful area and havea dog, but can only walk him due to health reasons early in morning or as sun is going down...so I have a whole day, a whole yawning, empty day and no friends, not a one! and no money...any suggestions? the only place I can find any peace from hating myself for being such a loser (i know "generalization":untrue) is in bed ..or I just walk around my apt all day unable to focus on anything, settle down and do anything, I am so distracted and confused, laying down is my only relief, but i feel like such a lazy bum. I havent taken my dog out in two days, my bf has instead/ w/out me. I feel like I need my abuser here to yell at me to make me do things, Maybe she was right when she would say, "you dont understand anything unless someone screams at you." WTF. I would appreciate any tip at all! Chains.
