oh Hanna.. blessings.. I do understand.... blessed be..

I have been the same way so you are not alone,

I feel the same way right now. The thought of getting dressed and going out is overwhelming. I get up every weekday morning to take my grandson to preschool and that is a chore. Tomorrow I have to get dressed and run something to an attorney's office. That means I will need to take a shower tonight and do something with my hair. I don't want to go anywhere or do much of anything.

I'm dying to get out of the house but I really don't want to go anywhere. I want to do SOMETHING. I just don't have it in me to do it. I managed to shower today...and I was going to be nice and try to do my hair and makeup for my fiance so he'd see I was making an effort, but I just can't bring up enough energy to follow through. We just had this talk last night...if I can't even follow up for 1 day, what does that say about me?

Maybe you could try sitting on the couch with your makeup bag and a small mirror. Put your makeup on while sitting. Seems like that would make it easier.

I am going through the same thing right now. I feel like no one appreciates anything I do around her especially my boyfriend. He tells the kids not to mess up the house but he lives like a pig.

Plus when the kids get home they mess up so many dishes that it isnt funny. Everybody leaves laundry all over the bedroom floors, laundry in the bathroom, crumbs on the dinner table, crap all over the end tables in the living room, games and controllers left laying around, movies scattered and out of their cases.

It just drives me bonkers. Plus the kids will throw their dishes in the sink without even rinsing their plates out. So really, why should I care? I told my boyfriend that he wouldnt like it if I came to his job and took his aircraft apart! Its just not fair at all.

And I also have no way to go and do anything so why should I fix myself up? Why should I shave my legs, put makeup on, obsess over clothes, try and smell nice if i'm just sitting in the house all day. I am in a bitchy mood today and I can not give you any advice. Only thing is that I feel ya, it makes me want to tell everybody to do their own shit.

When I would feel like that where I couldn't get myself to do a single thing, I found it helped to concentrate on getting one thing accomplished for the day. I just picked something I could manage to get done. Then I could look back on the day, and say, well...at least I did this. Maybe that could help you, I hope.
**Hugs to you**

well, I've at least managed to shower and do a couple loads of laundry. That's it though. The house is a mess and the kids came home from school...and it's just like twosides said.

I'm not going to doll up for nothing. I'm not going anywhere, not doing anything...so what's the point? I'm a homebody, and it looks like it'll be that way for a loooong time. My fiance better get used to it I guess.

Sweetie, I feel that way all the time...but my ocd won't stop until I get up and do it..... ElusiveMuse has a good idea.... hugs and luvs

OMG. I feel the same way. So much to be done. I am a full time student with a full ride scholarship and I just don't care. Tired and apathetic. :(

I can so understand, that is how I am feeling right now. If I didn't have to work, I would not leave the house. I just can't get motivated to do much, either. When I get home from work, I see all that needs to be done, but I just ignore it because I dont care. I don't have kids, but I have 4 big dogs who trash the house about as soon as I clean it so why bother? Hanna, you are not alone in this. Many of us are right there with you. I do think the suggestion of concentrating on getting one thing done during the day is a good one.

I can totally relate, HH. I don't really have advice right now because I'm in the same situation and am not seeing my way out of it. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

have been there too many times to count. it's so overwhelming...and so hard for other people to understand how overwhelming it is...like...take a shower...how hard is that...? some days...seems...impossible...!! somebody said a while back...to pick one or two things...when i can...that's what i do...and then i talk myself up for doing the things i set out to do.

with bp. our best is VERY different depending on where we are at that day or cycle...we can take on the world...or the couch...

so. hey. you took a shower and did two loads of laundry today. NICE.

day by day.

hugs, beep.

reguardless of wether you want to go somewhere or do anything i find the trick is to do it anyway, get yourself into a routine, it will piss you off at first but at the end of the day you will be glad you did it

I have been too. I sat on my butt last night and didn't do anything but stay on DS and eat a bowl of ice cream. We all feel like that sometimes.
