The one thing that helps me most when depressed is making a list of what to do, plan, shcedule.... My problem, however, is that when I fall down in in the dark, it is so difficult to start using a daily plan.
I found these videos at Youtube and hope it may inspire some of you who need some inspiration to keep going with making and/or following plans when depressed. The first is about how good habits (for the depression) might be a slow, but sure way to a better way of living with dep. The second is about how to make a plan to be able to beat the mornings. Here we go: 1) 2) |

Hi, I would just like to add based on my experience, that I find a lot of faults in myself during a depressing chapter.
I'm not saying that my lists are a complete waste of my energy, but I've learned over time that any lists made when I'm back on my feet usually are more realistic and manageable for me. In short. I never read my lists made when I'm loony. They are incomplete and I simply cannot understand them...well at least not the way I wanted to. In an ideal world, we would have a list for all our lists. I can't stress the importance of a proper diet with light walking and plenty of fluids. And stay away (off-topic) from laxatives when depressed. I could go on, but I won't. Most people sense a hostility in my tone. It's not intentional as all I want to do is get by giving myself options to share.

A list for my lists?
OMG, I love that! You just reminded me of an organization site that offers really good tips for cleaning and becoming more organized. They offer something they call 'office in a notebook' for $29 and it sounds like a great investment to me. My office currently resides in several boxes where the exact thing I need is always hiding in another box! And lists? I'm the freakin list queen. I'll send for it tomorrow and report back. The site is called Bowl Full of Lemons. __________________ "The life unexamined is not worth living." Plato "The arc of the universe is long but it bends toward justice."

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