It's good that you're in therapy. I'm ''ok'' today, apart from anxiety and some frustration at some people.

Is it possible to engage in an activity which gives some positive payback, rather than thinking you ''should'' engage in this activity? I know this can be difficult or even impossible when severely depressed.

If I was a therapist, I would count almost any activity as a plus which would get you away from the TV for a while. I have never engaged in the TV as a distraction from depression (or any other painful mood disorder) A mean T actually complimented me for that. Not a compliment as it was said in a mean tone of voice but still.... However a family member used the TV to excess and for much less of a ''good'' reason than you, imo. I'm sorry you're struggling.

Thanks for sharing.

And thanks again for the link, I think it will be useful to many reading
