Just don't feel like it

I'm depressed today. I had an up and down night, I got up twice and drank coffee which was really stupid. Anyway, I took a nap and now I feel better. But I just don't feel like doing anything.

I won't be seeing my therapist this week and that worries me.

So here I sit at the computer, trying to amuse myself. Would appreciate any prayers or positive thoughts sent my way.

Rich

Rich, I know how you feel. I seem to be like that every day. I got up and drank caffeinated soda. I lay in bed all night till I finally fall asleep around 2am. Then I am too tired to do anything.
I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

I will pray for you Rich. I'm going through the worst depressing I have ever dealt with. I know the feeling of feeling of not wanting to do anything. It's been plaguing me quite a bit too. I have always been a highly motivated person, then bam!! I got struck. We are all in this together.

God please bless Rich. Heal his brain chemistry. Please balance it out so he can have the motivation to be an active participant in his life. Amen!!

Hi Rich. Hope things have improved since Saturday. I think we all get 'those days'. I allow myself to 'burn a day' every now and then, as long as I don't let it get into the third day. It's easier now that I have an Emotional Support Animal. She is an 85 lb pit bull mix. She knows the difference between me going back to bed 'sick' and going back to bed 'depressed'. If I'm sick, she lays on the floor, content to be 'watchful'. If I'm depressed, she gets up on the bed and licks my face! Hard to ignore her!

Having her put a schedule back in my life. She needs to go out for 'comfort' and for exersize. I 'must' get dressed every day. I 'must' go outside with her every day. I 'must' play. Trust me, she knows if I am 'into' it or just 'going through the motions'. She knows, and she is okay with it all! No judgement. No comment. It's wonderful. I wonder if getting a support animal might be a good thing for you too?
