Glad I could help. Wish I could take credit for that advice, but I read it on here somewhere a while ago and it rang true. I can also relate to the bar being raised if you start to show any improvement. I've been through that a few time (mostly self-imposed, but also from others). It can really suck to find out that all the stuff you are suddenly supposed to be doing are just too overwhelming. I'm actually experiencing some of that right now. I had started to feel better and piled a lot of commitments onto my plate. Then I realized I had spread myself too thin, and now I need to figure out how to reign it all in. It's hard when I get the line "I know you're depressed and it's hard to do stuff, but I need you to help me do stuff" from my wife or my mom (we live with my mom atm)...
(aside: I'm actually really struggling with the notion of recovery and finding a life worth living should I recover. It's very weird to see myself say these things, and read it each time as if I had never heard it before... I may just keep reading this thread a few times over to help the message sink in).
