Yes, you are right! I woke up in the middle of the night because I needed to go to the bathroom. I always turn the alarm off in such situations. This night, I forgot to put it on again when I entered my bed. I overslept for two hours and I feel like I only want to go to sleep again. My thoughts have been in the deep dark.
Some hours later, I have been able to tell myself that it is OK to not being able to do everything. I have reacted as if feeling depressed is some sort of laziness (and have used a lot of self-blaming thoughts).
Now, when I at last have accepted that depression is depression and not laziness, I feel a bit more calm.
Thank you for reminding me about not planning more than there is capacity for!
