Ran two errands. Now, if I straighten up my place, I will likely feel better. Dishes are done.
I was back in the ER in Nov, with a bleeding ulcer. That healed well. Then in Dec, I had GI pain again, but it only lasted a day. It was the day after that that I became mildly depressed. Around then it became clearer that one of my sisters was avoiding me. I've recovered from the pain of losing my S.O., but I haven't made other connections. I'm spending too much time alone. In '21, that was deliberate because of COVID. I tolerated that well because I thought it was temporary. Then, I realized that COVID will be ongoing for years, so I planned to find activities to join in the spring. Instead, I got extremely sick in April. I didn't recover until Sept. Then I got worried again about respiratory illnesses, as it was discovered I had some lung damage. But, mentally, I was pretty ok, until Dec. Then I think the isolation, along with the other stressors, started to take a toll.
I'm basically functional enough to pull myself together. I do have to put down the remote and the smart phone and push myself to do things.

Rosi700 - your suggestions about a schedule and comitting to a modest set of goals is the best advice, I do believe. Then sticking with that could be a help against relapsing.
I think I'll go to GooglePlayStore and shop some apps.
