Maybe as you feel a little better you can do one thing on your to do list a day. baby steps.
One time I called my AA sponsor and told him I was really depressed, he said "so be depressed". It was a huge revelation for me. No one had ever given me permission to be depressed. I had to learn to give myself permission to be depressed. There is so much pressure from all angles that you have to be doing something to help you get out of it. For me it is very cyclical and has to run its course. Usually I am severely depressed for some period of time and then all of a sudden a switch goes off and I feel better and am able to do the to do list and can climb the rest of the way out. Give yourself permission to be how you are.
