After reading secretum's post and had a coworker who had depression confront me and told me that meds help t helps but you have to put in the work to get better. If you have followed my posts you know I had been writing a lot of just staying in bed and wasting my time sleeping or just laying in bed. After I saw my pdoc for my visit she added Wellbutrin to my regiment. (I was previously on Wellbutrin but by itself and later with Zoloft). Well Friday I want to say was my day worked my part time job got done at 1. Went food shopping went to get a haircut went to the bank and then went into the pool (this is huge for me because one of my issues is self conscious about my body). After which I went to my apt little tired laced in bed Internet surfed for a bit, went on the forum and my sleepiness snapped. I was back at doing some things cleaned my kitchen marinated this pork shoulder which I am hoping comes out glorious and marinated other food. I then went to the gym came back home and had a healthy dinner. Victorious day.

Today I woke up super early and was wtf?!? I didn't sleep as much as I wanted to and tried to go back to bed. I was up for a few hours and decided to go get breakfast. I said to myself it is to early try to get some sleep. I finally was able to sleep at noon. My alarm kept going off and it was time for work( I missed the gym which I was planning to do). I finally got done at midnight and got on the forum. What I think made this day a loser was lack of willpower. I should of taken the opportunity while I was up to go to the gym and get my session in. I also had no food ready to take with me so I had to buy something at work. Thank you Barnes and noble for fifty percent off.

So I think where I'm going with this post is that you have to be willing to put the work in at every opportunity you get. Whether it's early in the am or during free time. Don't let the day go to waste.

Every opportunity. I totally agree, but there are times an opportunity presents itself when I'm too depressed to do anything.

Today is mixed so far. I didn't sleep much again and layer in bed for few hours. I finally pushed myself to cook this pork shoulder that I've been marinating (it smells glorious). Also managed to do some dishes put some clothes away and partially clean the pigsty of living room. Took a break to talk to my mom and preparing myself to bear the elements and go to the gym then supermarket. This shoulder goes great with rice beans (which I don't have) and plantains. Also need to pick up so,e lunch meat fruits and bread for work lunch. So that's my plan let me get off the bed in a bit and finish it.

Your right, this is where I have been struggling, missing work or going in late. Last week I manages to get myself up and there on time 4 days and I really feel better. Shooting for a full week next week. Now I just need to get busy here at home and get things cleaned up.

Good for you hopeful. I too have neglected my house so much. Think the reason I don't watch tv is cause no place to sit on couch.

Well had a good session at the gym bought some food and pork was about ready when I got home. It is custome to eat the fat and make it crispy. I almost had to call the fire department but the rest of the pork is salvageable.

If no one minds I'm going to keep writing in this thread when I'm forcing myself to do stuff.

I would try some spiritual books, some self help ones. Barnes and Nobles have tons as well as amazon. I have lost some of my will power I will be the first to admit this. After being hospitalized I don't feel the same. I feel like a shell of what I used to be. ((hugs)) you can overcome this. I hope I can too.

It is definetly activating but didn't make my mma classes. The Wellbutrin addition is definetly helping.
