That is such a nasty trick with depression....when we have to recalibrate our expectations for our current state. It's hard to do this instead of bashing ourselves for how we are not able to do things/don't *seem to* care to do things. It took me a long time too to accept that "this is what I can do right now and that's totally okay", "this little step is a step forward and that is already cause for celebration" and things like that.

If I don't start making my life better, it's just going to get more and more awful. That's pretty much a guarantee.

And then you found a way to decide to get up and do the 45 minutes of effort. Awesome.
And yeah to the last lines!
