I'm in a weird (unusual/seemingly uncommon) state with my depression. I don't seem to have lost my sense of self worth. I think I am of value at work, I think I am a likeable person. A big part of my depression stems from the fact that I am alone and I don't know why because I think I do deserve a good life that I don't seem to have. I do think I deserve my health.

However I agree with your proposal 110%. Because with the depression it is simply so hard to get the energy to take care of myself. I went for several months without important prescriptions because they expired and I couldn't tear up the energy to call the doctor and try to get refills. This weekend I was in bed all day Sat, then developed pneumonia on Sunday, I knew in the morning I should go for an xray but didn't get there until the afternoon because the idea of putting my shoes on to go out and then OMG to drive there was simply overwhelming.
