Can't Do Anything

March 8th, 2021

How does anyone get anything done when they're depressed? I can't do anything no matter how hard I try, it's like there's a brick wall where my motor skills are supposed to be. Then I get called fat and lazy for not doing anything. I don't feel supported online or in real life and I feel like I have no where to go. I wish life was easier. Someone help.

It's so very hard, I deal with that as well. And motivation to do anything is very difficult. For me, I find I need to break things down into very small tasks, otherwise I feel so overwhelmed and immobilized. In the morning if I can tell I'm having difficulty shaking the depression, I do very simple stretches like extending my arms up above my head. Or just go outside and stand with the sun in my face. Anyone that would call you those horrible names obviously doesn't understand and is part of what's wrong in this world. I wish life was easier too, I've found I need to disconnect from the news more often and do a lot more meditation. Just clearing my mind for a few minutes does help, I've done it for a few months now and I honestly notice a difference in that it's a little easier to process problems that come up in my life. I'm not very patient with myself either, but that is another part that has gotten better with meditation. I wish you well and encourage you to continue to use 7 cups because you are never alone here!
