Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I haven't been on here in at least a couple of years, you know, life gets away with you and next thing you know, so much time has gone by.
I've been doing well, I'm working full time and helping my hubby with his business too (he's a magician and I'm his assistant and administrator). So needless to say, life is hectic at times because of my full time job during the week.
I was wondering how many of you sometimes feel just really unmotivated from time to time? I really want to get my house decluttered but when I think about it, I really have no idea where to start. Then I get really stressed out just looking at the mess in my garage and my hubby's study. I just find it really hard to organise my thoughts at times. I probably have too much on my plate, but that's just the way it is and there's not a lot (if anything) I can do about that. While I feel ok in myself, I sometimes just feel very bland about stuff. I'm not in the black hole of despair (I have been there before and don't ever want to go back there) but I guess I feel like I'm sometimes on a treadmill that isn't going anywhere.
Just curious if there is anyone else out there who is experiencing the same at the moment?

Most times, when I do get the urge to attempt to tackle these projects, I get overwelmed and leave them for the "next day". The depression and anxiety don't help any to get anything accomplished.
I look back at the way I once was and how I am today and it's like I don't recognize the person I've become. I was once highly organized, proficient, timely, my house was extremely tidy, I kept myself very groomed, but seems now, it's all gone to hell in a tea basket.
I'm working on getting back to where I once was. I don't know how long or to what degree I'll reach the way I used to be, but I sure know I don't want to stay like this.
So, I'm just taking those "baby" steps to getting back to where I want to be. It used to be "giant" leaps; now it's just "baby" steps.
Hope you get to where you want to be very, very soon.
Good luck; and best wishes!

I pray one day it will be better. I've come out of it before. I have to now. No choice.
