Hi kmd...

I am glad you are here. Reaching out in any way is a good step to take. Other than coming here, what have you done to cope? I know exactly how you feel when you say how hard it is to get up and get ready for work. It is like walking through mud.

I am going through a similar thing right now and one thing I find that really helps is to simplify my life as much as possible, just focusing on the basics- food, clothing, shelter. I don't take on anything extra that I don't have to and I allow myself some extra indulgences to make life a bit easier (a few more prepared foods in the kitchen for example, rather than cooking from scratch all the time, which I would normally do). Schedule lots of rest and little things that are good for your soul- a walk outside with a friend, a pedicure, whatever does it for you.

Take care, and keep posting
