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

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.

Thank you so much, Jennifer!

@Singer47 sorry you're going through that. I hope things get better for you soon.

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!

Thank you so much!

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!

You’re on a roll! You go girl!

I accomplished everything but selling my books and working out.

Warm wishes to all.

- hygiene (yes.)

- breakfast (yes.)

- alexa quiz (yes.)

- try to get by for the rest of the day (I don't know, 10 A.M and i've got nothing on my skedule)

Today planning to:
.
Brush my teeth and take a shower
Put dishes in dishwasher
Go to work
Go to the store to get more garbage bags as I'm almost out.
Scoop the litter box.
Attend a support group.

Plans for today are:

1. Clean the dining room
2. Make some phone calls
3. Get ready for Wednesday’s seminar.

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

Warm wishes and hugs to all.

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!

Good to see you @FallDuskTrain! Sorry to hear about the depression. I hope it eases soon. Enjoy your day today!

Great to hear from you after a long time. Hugs.

So glad to see you around!
