I've been very depressed all day
It's after 4.30am and I haven't slept all night. I've been very depressed and unmotivated all day (yesterday). I only just managed to have a shower and it was sooo hard.
I think part of the problem is: 1. the cold weather is getting to me and 2. I ran out of food on Friday and I have been living on pasta and cheese.
I *will* go shopping today.
I did my affirmations in the mirror for 30 minutes (not in one go) and that was very hard too.
I have an appointment today with a mental health organisation and I'm not looking forward to it.
Perhaps I will feel better once I have been shopping and I have a house full of food.

Re: I've been very depressed all day
I like the way you turn it into a positive - shopping may make you feel better. I have major depression so it is easier to number the days I am not depressed. What I found worked for me, and it is hard to do, is that if something like housework or personal care needs to be done I tell myself to just get it over with. I am allowed to complain and winge about it as much as I want, just so long as I do it.
