I have OCD, ADD, PTSD, Anxiety, and Seasonal Depression. Depending on the time of year and the stress in my life, I manage fine or I have complete break downs.
The holiday season is extremely hard for me, lots of pressure, obligations, etc. I fought it but I slipped into a depression for about 2 weeks now. I think I am coming out of it. I added some vitamins, been eating better, and using my light box more. I am actively trying to help myself.
But here is where I get stuck. When I have these periods where I don't function well and then come out of it, how do I get back on track?
I am a stay at home Mom, so I don't have a job that I have to report too at a certain time but I do have things I would like to accomplish. How do I start over? I have read about making a list of things to do. But if I do that it seems very overwhelming and I just can't get started again.
How do you reboot yourself? How do you get moving again? I can get lost in my head with my ADD and OCD and hours go by without me knowing it.
Just looking for suggestions on what to do.
