I know, I know. Depression.

Things have actually been going pretty well, having some work successes which is really gratifying. But today's Monday and I haven't done a thing on my online business. I feel really horrible, and I did my moodscore- it was 15%, the lowest I've ever gotten. I'm not sleeping and I'm having a hard time taking my pills or eating well(or at all sometimes)- I'm getting that thing where I just can't bring myself to do anything, no matter how much I know I'll enjoy it. I did apply for food stamps last night, and I was able to pick up the phone when people called today, so I made appointments- that is something I've struggled with big time in the past.

I'm all dressed to walk on my treadmill- well, true, I AM wearing a six year old's sock on one foot, but that's just between you and me, okay?- but my kitten is cuddling on my lap, and honestly, it makes me feel so loved that I can't bring myself to make her get off. I just.. I wanted to do something today. Not that hard. I'm surprised I've done as much as I have. I just know I'm going downhill.

I have to admit if I had a kitten curled up on my lap I wouldn't move either. They're sweet and calming. You still have time for other things.

Make sure you take your pills please. Missing doses can really screw you up and make things worse.

sometimes, it's the pride of it all, when making that call for assistance. Just feeling, that making the call for food benefits contributes. you aren't alone there, 'k?

If cuddling with your kitten, is enjoyable, then by all means.

Don't know what's in your cupboard, sometimes the same 'ol, same 'ol, is frustrating.

Perhaps, tomorrow, will feel more motivating.

I understand how frustrating it is when you can't muster the energy to get anything done. I am in the same boat. I did absolutely nothing all weekend. I stopped taking the depression test because I got tired of seeing that I am in a major severe depression. Hope tomorrow is a better day.
