I just can't figure out how to be kind to myself and yet still be disciplined.
 When I take it easy on myself I never get anything done, and I have to get so rough with myself to get anything productive done. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I don't know either. But possibly look at it as being kind to yourself when you get something done? Like, for me, I hate attempting cleaning when I'm so depressed, but when it's done it is it's own reward, ya know? Or not wanting to shower, but once its done I do always feel better.
I know being productive and extremely depressed don't go together. But what's wrong with rewarding yourself for getting something done, like a favourite movie, treat, or something small when you've accomplished just a small task, and then increase it from there? Idk but being rough on yourself isn't going to work i think |

I have exactly the same problem. I think the key is to focus on the rewards the activity will bring.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
