Depression 2 by David

When you are depressed it is so hard to keep yourself motivated and get out of bed.  When you wake up you just lay there.  You try to enjoy your coffee when you do get up and not just need it. 

The last few days I have tried to do at least something such as wash clothes one day and dishes the next.  The important thing is that I give myself credit for what I do, no matter how little it is.

I think I have motivated myself to get out of my apartment today and do some walking (I picked the coldest day of the year so far. ha! ha!)

When we are feeling like this, it is our struggle and no one else's.  Our self esteem is low, our confidence is low, and we feel lost.  We are in control of what we actually do accomplish.  Yes, a pat on the back is in order, even if all I do today is wash my dishes.

    I think you're right. We all deserve a pat on the back for the things we do accomplish. I am enjoying your blog.

    Uncle Dave, you absolutely deserve a pat on the back! Or do as I do - a little happy dance right there in the middle of the room. I find it is harder to be motivated with the colder months. So I look at magazines for spring and summer and dream. A dreamer! Ha ha.
