Thank you so much, So leigheas. Your post is so thoughtful. I've been so upset over my sister's death that I couldn't really do more than mention it a bit on some posts here on PC. I like your 'small goals' idea. The trick is to give myself credit for doing whatever I can do. For example, I managed a walk this morning, but all I could tell myself was, 'You didn't walk far enough'. I know better than that...I would give huge credit to a friend who was depressed and took a walk. But when it's myself...well, you know how it goes.
