I can't really just chill and be my non motivated self.
The guilt is worse than pretending I'm not depressed.
So I'm working on leaving my room more.
We're up at the new house tonight. He makes it easy for me. Brings up stuff I want.
The one reason I don't come up here is I hate to be reminded I had a bad episode before construction was finished. Now I'm faced with all the designs for completion.
It makes me feel worthless and sad and pressured to work.
Oh well. I'm trying.
Do you get this way sometimes?

I'm not married, but I can relate in terms of my work in general.

Oh goodness! YES! I'm dealing with the same thing over here. I'm really glad I'm not the only one but I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm trying really hard to be frustrated with him, but he really doesn't seem to get it, ya know? I got up and cleaned and made sure we have food. I filled out a bunch of job applications online, and now I'm exhausted again with a nasty headache. He's like, "why don't you take a nap and then finish the housework?" Umm, because I feel absolutely hopeless and worn out right now?

Yes. I am pushing to do more than I feel like doing most of the time.
Just added another med -- an injectable for autoimmune condition -- and I am sleepy and want to sleep very much. Instead, I am pushing through PT and exercise, laundry, getting meals and trying to look engaged with people. I really just want to sleep.

Wow it sounds like you have a great husband, that's something to be grateful for!
I guess what I mean is, he seams stable and inspiring, like he can get you going. My sons are like that. But I know what you mean. Sometimes it's hard to keep going when you don't feel like moving.
