That is truly the $64,000 question. I face the exact same dilemma. You may have hit on something when you mentioned having to "force" yourself. I am starting to think that that is basically what it comes down to. That may be the only "handle" we'll ever find. It's sure tough though. Others, who don't experience regular bouts of depression seem to have a routine that they follow that sort of carries them along. Somehow, I can't seem to develop that. And meds don't fix the problem. It's just an on-going struggle.
