Looking for accountability partners to motivate to get things done while depressed #3

Sunflower123 · May 08, 2019 at 05:23 PM

I went to bible study this morning and then had a lovely lunch with my mom. Afterwards, I picked up groceries through Walmart’s curbside service. I am relaxing though I have a few things left to do before my daughter arrives and I think I may go out in a minute and get a haircut.

Plans for Thursday:

1. Haircut if not today
2. Water aerobics
3. Therapy
4. Spend quality time with my daughter

Warm wishes to all.

I had a doctor's appointment. It was hard for me to find motivation to go to but I made it. I cleaned litter boxes, opened packages and washed the dishes. Today I will clean more litter boxes and go through the mail.

I'm tired now. I took out the trash, washed clothes, got rid of the junk mail and ordered groceries. I think I will take the weekend off. I've been busy with housework for days.

Yesterday, I celebrated my birthday with my daughter all day and then celebrated 3 birthdays today with my family. I have not accomplished much as a result. Tomorrow I will be celebrating mother’s day and then I’ll get back on track Monday.

I hope everyone is having a peaceftul weekend. Warm wishes to all.

Not having good luck w technology today, but...

Today was a rest day for me. Went through some donations & brought in those that can’t be left in storage or car. Picked up a few things the cat has knocked over. That’s about it for constructive activity. I’ve been getting a lot done lately but am still behind on some major things. The meditation app is the only thing that keeps me from panicking. Have been using it almost every day since beginning of January. Definite improvement.

Cleaned a couple of litter boxes, went through the mail, emptied the trash and cleaned off my kitchen counter. A light duty day. Tomorrow I hope to do dishes and take out the trash. Also do more litter boxes and clean off my kitchen table. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Sunflower123 · May 12, 2019 at 08:39 PM

I need to make a schedule and stick to it. I’d like to get several things done before I go to Florida for two weeks in June. I will start working harder tomorrow.

Warm wishes to all.

Cleaned a litter box, cleaned off my kitchen counter, emptied the trash, opened packages and put groceries away. I'm done for the day. I'm tired and I've had it with housework.

I went to see the pdoc and am doing well. My lab results are within normal limits. I'm healthy, I guess. I feel fine. My pdoc lowered my dose. I will keep walking this week when I have time. And, I will do something else besides clean my apartment and do the laundry. I will try to study. My mother is leaving for a trip to Asia. I will miss her dearly. I will just do what I can to pass the time while she is gone. I want to lose five more pounds by my next clinic appointment. I will strive for this goal by continuing to eat less and move more.

I've had a busy morning. I washed dishes, took out the trash, cleaned litter boxes, took a shower (yay!), cleaned off my table and cleared my work space. Later I will try to paint rocks. I want to relax for the rest of the day. Tomorrow I see my med provider. Hope everyone is doing well.

Deilla · May 15, 2019 at 12:24 PM

Saw my med provider. Things went well. I don't go back for 8 more weeks. Yay! I did some labs this morning too and went to visit my sister for coffee. I'm surprised I got out so much. It was raining. But I felt good. Later today I will clean litter boxes and then rest. I might order some food to celebrate my successes. Hope everyone is doing well today. (((Hugs))) to all!

It's been a week since I have been in. In that time it has gone up and down. Some good days with family and some days where I was so exhausted that I wasn't able to do anything!

I need structure and proper meals (may be I lack important vitamins).

Plan for tomorrow (Thursday)

- Up 07:30
- Swish and swipe in the bathroom
- Take meds and more ...
- 08:00 - 09:00 Breakfast
- Hygiene
- Write a list for the grocery shop
- Make food for my little trip outside
- Walk for around 20 minutes x 2 + 2 minutes with a break in between.
- Grocery
- Lunch and rest

After the rest decide what is the most important to do for the rest of the day (among others text GP, bank, a proper meal plan - EAT at FIXED times ...)

May you all be well!

Had a busy morning today. I did litter box and cat duty, straightened up in my bathroom and in my kitchen and took out the trash. I'm worn out now. I need a nap. Will clean more litter boxes later.

How many cats do you have?
I have one... he was a stray before I took him in.

Cute cat! He looks like my Jazzy. I have two. One is a stray I took in recently. I have 5 litter boxes for them. They keep me busy.

Deilla · May 17, 2019 at 06:20 AM

This morning I am worn out. My back is bothering me. I have fed the cats and cleaned litter boxes. I didn't sleep well and I'm too tired to do anything else. I ordered groceries, so later I will put them away. Also I will set up my new coffee maker. Hope everyone is doing well. It's Friday... time to get ready for the weekend. Yay!
