So I come to terms I’ve been depressed lately. Not as bad as before. I have a few days where all I have done is sleep, but maybe once or twice a week. My apartment isn’t a disaster but can use some organizing. My gym routine needs help and a consistent base but I’ve been falling off on that. Also food. I need to grocery shop and cook but keep on putting it off. Cats have been great help and I d9 forced myself to play with them and feed them when all I want to do is sleep. But sometimes I’ll do that after I’ve played with them for half hour and fallen asleep.

Need to get out of this funk. Need to lose weight and eat right and get healthy. Had few people that I know of die recently, one was a supervisor at work. He had lung cancer pretty bad. I don’t want to end up like that.

Help!!

This was a little back. Fed my cats their old “favorite”. Not anymore I guess.

It's good that you have your cats. They need your care and may bring some joy. You also have to get out of bed to feed your cats, that's a good thing. Maybe it's time to do first things first, and worry about losing weight later when you're not depressed.
Eating right is a good start. Also having a routine may help. Sometimes when you're depressed you feel tired and have 0 motivation to do anything else than sleep. Then you do nothing and your life starts to feel not worth living. I think it's important to break that circle, and force yourself to do something. It doesn't sound fun, I know. But please, try to think of things you normally enjoy.

Do you have a friend or someone you could go to the grocery store with? Eating is important. Try cooking or buy some healthy food and keep playing with your cats, they need you and love you.

I haven't done this myself, but my therapist keeps telling that writing down positive things or thoughts may help.

You, my good my friend, repeat yourself too much and do nothing to improve your situation.
It's like trying. I can put a glass of water four feet away from my hand, stretch and try to reach it.
And keep trying to reach it many many times over. I'm trying, hard, but can't reach it.
Until I get up and walk to get it, I won't get the dam glass. Trying is never enough.

The doing part is my hardest thing to do
