So some of you know that I've had a mild depression in were I sleep during my free time and don't do anything else. Well today I'm off work and I'm fighting to stay awake. I can't get into a movie or tv show, I don't feel like cleaning, I want to read my self esteem book but am sleepy. Trying to fight it and stay awake.

Maybe this isn't the best advice, but maybe some caffeine might help give you a good kickstart to the day?

Regardless, maybe commit to doing 1 thing that you want/need to do today and keep it at that. Don't feel bad about doing more, though maybe you'll end up doing more.

I'm the queen of feeling bad about myself when I don't get things done, but I've found that the guilt ends up causing a vicious cycle: the worse I feel about not doing things, the less I do. I don't have great advice for this, except to try to ban the guilt, so that you can move on, again, even if you do the 1 thing today and nothing else.

The Skeezyks doesn't consider himself to be depressed... at least in any traditional sense. But fatigue is a constant companion. But if I lay down to take a nap... chances are I won't sleep. Being here on PC helps to keep me more-or-less awake. Good luck with your fight to stay awake, Boogiesmash!

Lol when I can't sleep I'm in bed looking at this forum. Just had 2 cups of coffee thinking about third. I really want to read my self esteem book and go to the gym.
