I still feel psychologically beaten after what happened at Thursday! My body feels weighed down. My head feels heavy. I woke up with tears running down my cheek. I will see my therapist later this week. From time to time suicidal thoughts pass through my head.

My plans for today (Sunday):

- Take care of myself and (relax and eat properly)

- Go to church

- Pray

Good thoughts and wishes for each one of you!

I’m so sorry you are feeling bad. Please take excellent care of yourself and stay safe. I understand SI...it’s tough. Hang in there. I’m glad you are seeing your therapist this week. Thinking of you.

This morning I've done laundry and picked up things in my living room. Later I will straighten up in my bathroom. I might not have to do litter boxes today. Or maybe just one or two. Wishing everyone well this Sunday!

I have felt a bit more calm after my visit to the church! I have been able to eat properly as well. To remember to eat is the most important for me when in a crises. The risk of falling deeper into the dark will not be so high when I remember to eat.

Plans for Tuesday:

- After breakfast 25 minutes walk
- Buy the color to my hair that I didn't buy some days ago
- Visit grocery shop
- Load the washing machine
- Pay bills
- Start to plan what is important to tell the therapist about the "happening"
- Continue to read an interesting article
- Start to plan what clothes to bring for my vacation later in the month

Best wishes and hopes for each one of you!

I’ve let things pile up and now I need to have a super productive day. As a result, I have more then 3 things I must accomplish.

- session with life coach
- workout
- clean the den
- float in the pool (for mental health)
- sell books
- grocery shop
- change litter boxes
- edit vision board (that’s for me)

Warm wishes for all to have a peaceful and productive day.

This morning I've cleaned litter boxes, scrubbed the toilet and wrote in my journal. Later I will clean more litter boxes, take out the trash, pick up in the living room and wash dishes. Warm wishes to everyone today!

I am also going to float in the pool, go see a movie and work on my affirmations but these are for relaxation.

The only "thing" I was able to do, was to load the washing machine and try to read an article. I am really tired, but have a tiny hope. Tomorrow I will see my therapist.


Be well all!

I think relaxions are very welcome at this thread. It is about what we plan to do to keep our depressions at a level that is possible to live with, either it is this or that activity. It is not about how much work we can do only. (At least that is how I see it. To me this thread is a tool to fight depression by planning and try to stick to plan what ever it is that we have planned).

Wednesday: These are the most important items for being able to cope with my depression for tomorrow.

- Up 07:00
- After breakfast 11 x 2 minutes walk
- Grocery
- Some food
- 10 minutes mindfulness meditation
- Half an hour anger-management training*
- Therapy
- Half an hour reflection after therapy
- Food
- Go to a sport shop and buy new training trousers + a new towel

*
I became very angry remembering old traumas. It scared me and I want to learn different ways to cope next time ...

A good day to each one of you. May you be able to accomplish what you have planned for your day!

Jennifer, I'm sorry; this just fell out of my thoughts! Maybe there are different ways to interpret the "Looking for accountability partners to motivate to get things done while depressed". I remember that it first started with the "thread-maker" needed to get her showers done. Your plan (this time) seemed so ambitious that I felt that I would never be able to reach your level. But I am deep down, so please excuse!

Today was a quiet day. I read a lot, journaled and did part of an online class. I also picked up some in the living room, which seems to be an ongoing project. Tomorrow I see my med provider. Hope everyone is doing well. Best wishes to all!

After a little over four months, I managed to do 7 loads of laundry; washed four week old piled up dishes; and I hope I will get to wash myself soon.
I haven’t showered in over a week. Tomorrow I plan on showering before I go into work for a 7 AM meeting.
Then work, get ready for Thursday’s projects.
After work, I need to stop at the academy to visit an old colleague .
I wonder if i will manage to shower.
This cycle of depression hit me very hard. I have been in bed since February, with the exception of going to work. I am grateful that I have a job.
I hope everyone is well.

This gave me a laugh. Thank you! Unfortunately, I, the “thread maker”, still have trouble getting my showers done. It is awful.

Not very enthusiastic about having an appointment today. But I will do my best to get ready and go. I plan on rewarding myself with some Mexican food. That's keeping me motivated. This morning I have to clean litter boxes. Later today I will do things to relax. Wishing everyone the best!
