I am taking my meds faithfully (and so I am not crying all the time and I don't feel like I'm in a deep dark hole) but a lot of time I just don't feel like doing anything, whether it's catching up on chores or taking a walk or using cognitive skills that I've learned in therapy. I feel like it's all the same--no motivation or energy, like I just don't really care enough to get or keep going or really make any changes. What can I do to get myself going??

I feel like I could have written this post myself. Same struggles as u. Sometimes making plans to have a friend come over will get me going to get ready etc. or if I say by noon I'll shower or no tv sometimes works.... It's hard I know.
