Today's thought - Depression

Today's thought is:

Today I will do one thing more than I think I can do.

If I'm too tired or depressed to get out of bed, I will not only get up but also take a shower.

If I don't have the energy to go to work, I will get dressed and drive to the parking lot of my job.

If I just can't face the world, I will walk to the end of the street and back.

I will reach a little further than whatever I believe my limitations to be. Usually, when I take that little extra step, it seems easier than I thought it would, and I feel better too.

You are reading from the book:

Time to Break Free by Judith R. Smith

Thank you so much- This is why I get out of bed and turn on my computer-
Honestly , last month I wasn't even going to work... On disability for depression-
Just two weeks but I realized I felt worse, not better....and guilty for abandoning my job to my friends/co-workers.
Again, Thank you
Cindy

Time2, It is not easy to take that extra step, day after day. Today I choose life and I am counting on living the day after. I guess just got to choose be happy with baby step progress. Sure beats the hell out of choosing to be depressed about it. Thanks for the great thread.
