Thanks for the encouragement everyone. 
I slept most of the day today. I did that mostly because my husband stayed home from work and I just wasn't up to dealing with another human being.
My therapist suggested that I do one small fun thing and one small needed thing each day. I'm trying to get motivated to do that. I guess that posting on here is fun so this could count for the fun thing. The one small needed thing to be done is taking work clothes out of the dryer for my husband. I know I can get that done by nights end.
It's just so difficult to do much when anyone is around. I feel paralyzed. Does anyone else deal with this problem?

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
