So yeah I have been really down this weekend. I have not had any energy to do anything except be confused on what to do LOL. I would go from I think I will sit outside in the sun, then I think well that doesn't work so I will go sit and watch TV, no maybe I will go and take a nap, no I will go sit outside, or perhaps I will go play on my computer. Thats the sum of my weekend and I feel pretty guilty about it since I have a Seven and two year old boys who are constently tugging at me to come play with them. Everytime they do I just say later hun daddy doesn't feel good right now. I haven't wanted any interaction with anyone at all except myself. My wife asked me to go to the store to buy food and I thought about actualy attempting it, but I couldn't stand the idea being among the public.I hate these days and wish they would just go away forever. It would be nice to wake-up and know what the heck I want to do. Its way to confussing and exhausting to not know. Plus, I hate the feeling that I just push my family aside. Anyone else out there that deals with this at all.

Would you be up for a simple contract with spouse or self, in stages?
Day 1. Go to store. Sit with 7 yr-old doing homework. Sit with 2-yr-olds sleeping. Try to work up each day, eg day 2, walk thru store with shopping list. Going and doing is too much ... I remember from my depression. Baby steps. Trying on feelings. I worked out something along these lines with my T and slowly things felt a little less wooden and alien and impossibly frightful. I forget who's long it took but they were really baby steps. Roadie

Has it something to do with Mothers Day or is it just a coincidence?
We have down times sometimes......it just happens to us. Since you are on this forum I assume you have depression or something that caused you to be here in the first place. Are you sleeping enough, getting enough personal time to yourself, or eating a lot of junk food? All this affects us and some people more then others! I hope you feel better......if you do some thinking I bet you will figure out whats causing this down feeling all weekend! Feel better!!

For your kids: read a bed time story if you can, or sit with them while they watch a movie. If you have a play place take them there and play on the wifi. For the kids pick activities that your presences is enough right now. As for grosseries you may want to look at grossery boxes sorry for (spelling mistakes) but it will limit the amount you have to shop. There are other companies too if there isn't one in your area. Try to be easy on yourself, you just found out last week. Look at ways to simplify daily needs. It'll take a while to get the right meds and realize what you can and can not handle.

Sometimes in my depression, I get to point where I just want to be left alone. Even with my kids, they want to play, and I don't even want to be touched. I get irritable and edgy, agitated and soo depressed. I let the house fall apart and do absolutely nothing. This pisses my husband off because after a long day at work, he wants to come home to a clean house, ya know? So I'm slipping into a depression, it's getting bad and last week my husband chews me out, big time. He takes my @$$ and hands it right to me. So the next day I get up and force myself to be productive. I clean house big time and even shower, eventhough all of it seems 20x more of a chore than normal. He acknowledges my effort and thanks me, And I realize that at the end of the day, I'm still depressed but at least I don't feel guilty about how lazy I was that day and be even more depressed because of it. Like, "Well at least I did the dishes!" Every little bit counts. As for not deciding what to do, try practicing some mindfulness. Pick something, like sitting in the sun for example, and think about all your senses. What do you hear? Smell? Feel? Even taste? Take a deep breath and think about how good the sun feels on your skin, etc. Take a look at the little things. They all add up to something bigger! Hope this helps somewhat.
