Some days in the depth of our depression the pillow is the best we can do. I remember being depressed over being depressed. That sure wasn't very helpful. Condeming myself didn't improve my situation one bit. I had to accept myself right where I was, I was depressed and struggling through DID issues and bathrobe days were a part of the process.
I was in therapy and not missing any appointments, taking my meds, getting out when I could, reading books to help me try to understand, keeping a gratitude journal when I could pick up a pen and think, just doing what I could as I could and although I often couldn't see a lick of progress it was there because here I am 9 years later and I am a functioning person who only deals with low-level depression that tends to occur in cycles. It doesn't rule my life anymore.
Guess what I'm trying to get to is giving yourself permission to have a lousy day. It's part of the deal as long as it doesn't stay like that over two weeks. Then it's seek help time!
Be kind to yourself~
