I have a nice, long "to do list" of things that I should be doing to get more freelance clients to boost my business.

I have a messy house that needs to be cleaned and decluttered. I haven't run the vacuum on the carpets since August. I run the dishwasher and do laundry regularly, but that's it. No dusting. No picking up. Not much throwing away.

I'm taking my meds.

I just don't have the energy to do anything.

I did get dressed today but I didn't shower. I ran out to get breakfast from McDonald's, but that's it.

I have had zero interaction with humans today except for grown son saying "Bye" when he left for work.

I have not felt the touch of another human being since last Thursday (so that's one day shy of a week) and it will probably go longer.

Hi, I am new here and came across your post. This is exactly what I struggle with. Everyone's replies were great ! Its so nice to see understanding and supportive people. Its hard for me when others around me do not understand functioning with even the basic things in life is really hard for me, then I feel like I am not good enough and I make these long lists of things I need to do to try and show I am a good wife, a good woman, etc etc...of course I get overwhelmed and none of it ever gets done and then those not good enough guilty feelings creep in even stronger! Thanks ladies for the good advice. At some point, we have to not worry so much if others approve of what we are doing or not doing and just take the steps we can, little by little one day at a time !
