Hi guys.

I have missed my last two shifts of work due to being depressed and anxious. I stopped my meds cold turkey recently enough, and I'm very discouraged at how low my mood has sunk without medication.

I wake up on work mornings with the feeling that everything is too much. Waking up? Too much. Taking a shower? Too much. Going outside? Definitely too much.

I'm curious if anyone has any strategies that help you get the day started, when even the simplest things seem impossible to tackle.
