Hi Michelle,

When I'm in a deep depression, it can be next to impossible for me to feel very motivated. I may go through some of the motions, but it's so hard to want to continue. One thing that has helped me at various times is focusing on a small task, and getting it done. Otherwise, when I first started taking meds, they helped immensely to lift my mood and get me the hell out of bed. Then I realized that if I waited for motivation, I'd wait forever, what I needed to do was start something and the motivation would follow once I was into it.

That doesn't always happen, but when it does, it's liberating, especially after being unmotivated for as long as I was.

Good luck, and keep us posted...and keep asking us for support, we all do it, that's why we're here!
