Hi everyone,
My depression and anxiety are at their worst in the morning. I have such a hard time getting going especially on days when I don't HAVE to get going...then I give myself an out for everything that I should be doing that I am not doing. After this, I beat myself up (have thoughts like I'm lazy, unproductive, everyone else can do it so why can't you) about it and tell myself that I will do it another day...that day does not seem to come too often. It's a really bad cycle and I am just wondering if anyone else gets this?

sometimes you just have to fight through it. there is time for work and time for rest, it just needs balanced. it seems hard right now but it is doable
Just try to figure out what you can do when you feel at your worst and do that. Sometimes if you are lucky you can turn your day around.
