I am with your there Runningfree. There was a time when i felt totally incapacitated by depression. I can apply the above in my life today but for a long time it would have felt like someone was asking the impossible for me if they said set goals, be with people and laugh. When you are totally overwhelmed just getting out of your bed can be an ordeal.
I dont really know to this day what changed but it is easier now. No pearls of wisdom from me....I just wanted to let you know that i heard you and know to some extent where you are coming from.
Hope, thanks for posting this. Even though i find it much better today i need those reminders to look after myself. The lowness can grab hold so easily if i am not vigilant. Lately i have isolated a bit and not done the things i enjoy. Tonight some people from a hobby-related club are meeting. I wasnt going to bother going but thanks to your post i am going to make the effort now.
