The key for me was to keep trying. I have days where I don't get anything done and it makes me feel worse. It is a good feeling when you do get something done. Start with simple. Follow Gayle's advice and make a list. Include things like getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, etc. Cross them off. If you don't do anything save the list for the next day. Just keep trying.
