Thanks for opening up about what it must have felt when having no energy at all. How are you feeling about everything? I want you to know that you do matter and that you do exist. I just discovered that I truly had the symptoms of severe depression all of my life but I didn't notice it until now. I cannot remember when I was neglectful to kitchen duties. I pretty much made a habit of cleaning up the kitchen every time after dinner each night. How can I help you? Tips? Ideas? Regards -- SaraC

SaraC, you have helped me with this post. It is hard for me to believe I would be the slightest bit worthy of anyone taking the least notice of my thread. But you have noticed and don't seem to feel I'm only getting the misery I deserve for not taking care of things. I don't judge others harshly, but I've been told I can be hard on myself. For anyone to show me some compassion, when I feel little for myself, is like being offered water in a desert.
I'm sorry to hear you've had your own long history of being troubled by depression. Not everyone has that experience, despite the fact that everyone has known sadness and discouragement.
