In therapy we talked about how I've stopped doing a lot of stuff because I don't feel like it anymore... its not just luxury or fun things... its real life stuff..like cleaning, grocery shopping, paying bills, etc...
My T refers to it as depression...I will only admit to not "feeling like it". Either way...We've talked about not letting feelings control actions. So now I'm thinking about how to get myself to do the things I need to do when I don't have any desire to do... to just do it anyway...
Anyone else successful at doing this? So I thought about a schedule? Maybe just tell myself I have to do what is on the schedule. So I was going to make up a schedule..but I was going to do this in small steps...add more stuff every week...
I am sort of a perfectionist...with an all or nothing tendency...if I cant do it perfect...I don't do it.. I also work full time so I have to be reasonable with this change. I will not get my house perfect in a short period of time. I was raised in chaos so I don't know what is normal either... So to get me started... what do you all do as normal daily cleaning? like what do you make sure you do every night before you go to bed?
